This is such an obvious trap for Trump. Just VETO this crap. They want him to sign it so, if he ever wanted to run again, they can easily run a “budget hawk” to talk a good game and call Trump out for signing this bloated piece of garbage. No one is going to cry if they don’t get $600. Just play the game Mr. President. VETO and say you won’t sign anything that comes in under $2500. That’s how you win this battle. Then tell them to do it by getting rid of “Climate Studies”, Pakistan outreach etc. It’s a layup!
$600 bucks is just the right amount to buy a decent AR.
