The more I read about this, the more I’m wondering if Donald Trump is just a mad genius who put the Republicans in the House and Senate on the spot for the FY2018 budget. I’m sure they’re already getting a ton of crap from their constituents over this short-term bill, so they’re going to go into the FY2018 budget negotiations knowing full well that their jobs are really going to be on the line if they don’t give Trump most of what he’s seeking in his proposed FY2018 budget.
Now you are on to something. The GOP critters will go home this summer and get heat for this steaming pile. That should soften them up imensely for September.
POTUS really wasn’t in a position to go nuclear now on this spending bill what with health care, tax reform, confirmation hearings, north korea, etc. Trump can only fight so many nuclear wars at once.
Where's the heat from Trump for this steaming pile, now? I don't see it.
