Lieu to Trump on spending bill: You got rolled
The Hill ^ | 03/23/18 | JOHN BOWDEN

Posted on 03/23/2018 10:21:47 PM PDT by aquila48

Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu (Calif.) taunted President Trump on Twitter Friday evening after the president signed a massive $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill. Trump threatened to veto the bill before ultimately signing it, decrying the bill's lack of funding for his border wall proposal.

Lieu mocked Trump on Friday after the bill's signing, saying that Trump was "rolled" by Republican leaders in Congress who failed to secure a deal with Democrats over border wall funding or a legislative fix for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients.

"Dear @realDonaldTrump: You wimped out. You failed to deliver on your veto threat. Now we in Congress will believe you even less," Lieu tweeted.

"The Republican controlled Congress just rolled you. And they will roll you again. Because when the moment of truth came, you showed great weakness," the California lawmaker added.

“September is when we’ll see”

Excuse me, but we said exactly the same thing last Spring, when Trump signed a bad spending bill, with no wall funding, and he promised it wouldn’t happen again. Then, in the fall, it happened again. Now, it’s happened yet again.

He's not a democrat. To a Leftist, he'd be lucky if he's not hung. He stole the crown from Her Majesty.

It gives him no money for a wall or new border agents, or even new facilities to harbor arrested illegals. It’s a major setback for immigration enforcement It even FORBIDS trump from using his new border wall prototypes

Trump don’t get rolled, he has something big up his sleeve.

He works the Art Of The Deal in every aspect of his existence.

The stable-genius knows what he is up to.

Don’t despair!

That’s the beauty of impeachment. It doesn’t matter what charge. You just need enough votes. It’s not like there is anything like laws or procedure in place anymore. It’s the age of corporatism.

After the Democrats take the House and Senate in Nov. He will be impeached. They will drum up charges and the MSM will go right along with them.. There will be nothing we can do.

He got the wall funding, it’s part of the 700 bil military finding.

Corp of Engineers can build a wall!
