Earlier report

In a morning tweet, Trump said he might veto the omnibus bill because it does nothing to address the fate of young undocumented immigrants known as “dreamers” and does not fully fund his border wall.

Reminds me of Bush breaking his no taxes pledge. Way to go Donald. Fund those lawbreaking sanctuary cities. It’s all reality TV.

Blame the Republican primary voter. Not enough challengers either.

The latest update at the link says “signed”, as in past tense, as in done deal.

I will be surprised if we don't see at least one such response before the day is over.

Waiting for the MSM to say that the Stormy Daniels back mail scheme forced The Donald to sign the bill.

The weakest statement ... “I’m not going to sign anything like this in the future.” Man, talk about Old George Bush’s “read my lips” ... he’s in a corner now. Right where they wanted him all along. I can’t believe he did this to HIMSELF (and to US).
