One day before he signed the bill, President Trump tweeted that he was considering vetoing it:
I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded.

He got everyone’s attention with his tweet, but most of all, he got many of his supporters hopes up, then caved to the Democrats and RINO’s in his Party.
Today, after signing the massive Omnibus Spending Bill, President Trump tweeted: “As a matter of National Security I’ve signed the Omnibus Spending Bill. I say to Congress: I will NEVER sign another bill like this again. To prevent this omnibus situation from ever happening again, I’m calling on Congress to give me a line-item veto for all govt spending bills!”

President Trump caved…There’s no other way to say it.
The Trump agenda was completely stripped from the Omnibus spending bill the president just signed.
No added border agents and no wall…BUT Planned Parenthood and Sanctuary Cities are funded.
WE HAVE BORDER SECURITY FUNDS…FOR JORDAN AND TUNISIA:
In other words, Democrats got everything they wanted.
LAURA INGRAHAM SAID IT BEST:
There is NO WAY @realDonaldTrump shd sign this #Omnibus bill. It betrays his campaign pledges and mortgages the millennials’ future.

Did President Trump and the Republicans just set themselves up for an ass-kicking in November?
Will it be enough for Trump to say that he’s never going to do anything like this again? After signing the bill, Trump told his supporters:
“Therefore, as a matter of national security, I’ve signed this omnibus budget bill. There are a lot of things I’m unhappy about in this bill…But I say to Congress, I will never sign another bill like this again. I’m not going to do it again.”
VIDEO BEGINS AT 32:30 POINT:
WHY NOT VETO IT NOW?
Mark Meadows of the Freedom Caucus had the right idea:
The @freedomcaucus would fully support you in this move, Mr. President. Let's pass a short term CR while you negotiate a better deal for the forgotten men and women of America. https://t.co/Dj05V8hevl

Rand Paul live-tweeted what’s in the bill. You WILL NOT believe what’s in it.
Here ya go:
RAND PAUL EXPOSES THE JUNK IN THE SPENDING BILL:
Senator Rand Paul is actually reading the huge spending bill and taking to Twitter to tell America just how bad the spending bill really is. It’s frightening! We’ve provided the highlights that are really lowlights to the American taxpayers:
Paul called the bill the “terrible, rotten, no-good budget-busting bill”. After seeing his tweet thread, we agree!
The $1.3 Trillion Omnibus Bill will only offer $641 Million for Border Barriers and ZERO DOLLARS for the Trump wall!
Besides funding Sanctuary Cities and Planned Parenthood, the NSF gets $6 billion!
1. On page 207. 2000+ pages to go! Reading about the ever wasteful $6 billion National Science Foundation.

SENATOR PAUL ACTUALLY READ THE SPENDING BILL:
GIVING MONEY TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD:
MORE GIVEAWAYS:
BORDER SECURITY FOR EVERYONE ELSE BUT US:
Page 376 of terrible, rotten, no-good budget busting bill:
I found it! I found it! Border security, what President Trump wanted!
no . . .wait a minute section says Defense can spend what funds it determines to enhance the border security of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia

THE MASSIVE BILL now heads to the president for a signature…VETO Please!
