This is hilarious-- So he signs the 1.3 trillion dollar ominbus bill--after this morning threatening to VETO it.
1. The line item veto--the U.S. Supreme court overruled long ago-- under Bill Clinton.
U.S. JUDGE RULES LINE ITEM VETO ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL
2. Congress isn't going to approve of a simple majority to pass big spending bills, so the filibuster will stay.
3. DACA--it was Paul Ryan that strongly advised Trump not to do away with Obama's order for DACA to protect dreamers. Trump didn't listen, did it anyway to play political football with it. Ryan knew that there are Republicans in the house that would never agree to any immigration bill--and Trump is making a futile attempt to blame it on the minority party-- Democrats.
Paul Ryan, other GOP congressional leaders urge Trump not to terminate DACA
4. NO WALL. The 1.6 billion appropriated is to repair existing fences.
Now what is very interesting in this bill, since no one read it, are Russia sanctions finally. Someone--we don't know who did it, but they actually snuck in Russia sanctions into this bill. What's hilarious is Trump doesn't know it yet--
Congress Snuck New Russia Sanctions Into Spending Bill
So the bill is signed into law and Trump is off to Mar a Lago for the weekend--before the big protest tomorrow in D.C over gun control. In fact all Republicans hauled ass out of town.
Members of the Trump cult are FURIOUS.
Conservatives rip Trump for signing massive spending bill that ignores many of their priorities

Here’s what Congress is stuffing into its $1.3 trillion spending bill – The Denver Post"The bill provides $1.6 billion for barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border, but with some serious strings attached. Of the total, $251 million is earmarked specifically for “secondary fencing” near San Diego, where fencing is already in place; $445 million is for no more than 25 miles of “levee fencing”; $196 million is for “primary pedestrian fencing” in the Rio Grande Valley; $445 million is for the replacement of existing fencing in that area."
