You don’t stick a knife in everything you ran on by signing a budget like this and then expect voters to take you seriously next time you run on “draining the swamp”
He just willingly dived right into the swamp. This was a time for courage and he went wobbly instead. He has no allies now. Both the GOP-E and the Dems will willingly impeach him as soon as Dems take control of Congress. He has no allies to cover his back now.
Reward your enemies and betray your friends is not a plan for poltical success. The whole reason he won election was people were sick of this DC poltical garbage.
