WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has signed an $854 billion spending bill to keep the federal government open through Dec. 7, averting a government shutdown in the weeks leading up to the November midterm elections.
That’s according to a White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the action.
Trump signed the legislation to fund the military and several civilian agencies without journalists present at the White House. The president is acting after the House and Senate approved the spending plan earlier this week.
Trump’s signature avoids a shutdown before the Nov. 6 elections that will determine control of Congress. But he has expressed frustration that the bill doesn’t pay for his long-stalled wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Ha, no wall a$$hole. On the other hand, no telling what a mess this must be.
One thing’s sure as shootin’ and that is that the GOP base would not like the details of the spending bill or else the bill signing (with a Sharpie and quickly taken from Stupid Raging Lunatic before he ripped it into pieces and threw it on the floor) would be have been televised.
Wow. Surprised he didn’t play TV drama queen with endless tweets about government shutdown and blaming Democrats.
And what happened to the wall funding thingy? Or is Mexico going to pay after all…?
Of course he signed without the wall money. He got rolled. Trump’s a LOSER. And he’ll get rolled during the lame-duck again, and then (let us hope and pray), Speaker Pelosi will see that no waste of billions of taxpayer dollars for a stupid campaign promise (to be paid for by ‘Mexico’) will every darken public budgets and our wallets again.
I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that Trump was humiliated yet again on his wall, and nobody noticed (including apparently him).
