    Remarkable: Trump is essentially conceding he just got rolled by Congress. Claims he was “forced” to sign spending bill. When he campaigned for president, he said he was smarter than all the “stupid” politicians in Washington and would get his way

        Trump contended he was "forced" to sign it, but he could've told Hill leaders earlier he wanted short-term CR to allow for time to produce a bill more to his liking. But the bill was reached as a result of talks b/w Hill leaders and Trump's own WH staff.https://snpy.tv/2pC9JA8

        Yet what will @GOP do when the orange, Russian clown forces others to ignore these sanctions? Nothing as usual.

        He kind of didn't. Just saying it in his press conference was to make his voters feel better. $1.6 billion wouldn't fund 40 miles of a border wall. That's not what his voters envisioned.

        Today is why I don't get why Democrats hate Republicans. If one looks at the details of the bill they passed. They should be as excited as the minority party in Congress.

        The bill even has massive gun control funding included. Reinstates a ban on senior citizens on SS with financial distress from legally owning a gun. Blocks fed funding of Trump's plan to arm teachers/faculties etc. The GOP passed the Dems desires so why hate???

        "BAN ON SENIOR CITIZENS, ON SS, WITH FINANCIAL DISTRESS..." How is that even constitutional? That's clear discrimination!

        That is not what the bill says. Not even close. First, it does not focus on seniors. It's about keeping those with disabilities who also need assistance managing their own financial affairs (meaning mentally incompetent) from owning guns.
