Trump Bamboozled by GOP-led Congress

The members of Congress left in the night or on early planes home and abroad. They got out of town after completing the budget legislation. They didn't read the 2200 pages, and neither did the President. They didn't allow any time for review. It was a shlock job handed to a schlub President.

Then, Trump had the gall to try to blame it on the Democrats and sneaked in some shots at Obama and probably Hillary Clinton too. It is always someone else's fault. Buck up Trump, you da man.

Just sign on the line.

Just like nondisclosure agreements. Wink, nod.

"Trump Signs $1.3 Trillion Spending Bill, Averting A Government

President Trump signed a massive spending bill Friday, hours after threatening a veto that would have triggered a government shutdown. 

The $1.3 trillion omnibus legislation passed both chambers of Congress after lengthy negotiations between leaders of both parties. The Senate passed it late Thursday, and most lawmakers had left Washington by Friday morning. 

Trump tweeted just before 9 a.m. ET that he was "considering a VETO" because the bill does not fully address his immigration priorities. Hours later, the president relented and signed the measure, just as his aides had promised all along.
