Trumps biggest fans arent buying his excuses not to veto the omnibus spending bill
Trump just threw away the rest of his Presidency.

After President Trump signed a massive 2,323-page omnibus spending bill on Friday one which conservative publications deemed an embarrassment and a disgrace and Trump had initially threatened to veto many conservative pundits, including some of Trumps biggest fans, were incensed.
The bill gives a big boost to military funding (a major conservative point of emphasis), but it doesnt defund Planned Parenthood a longtime GOP promise and adds roughly $1 trillion to the deficit. As right-wing podcast host Mark Pantano declared on Twitter, Trump just threw away the rest of his Presidency.
Immigration restrictionists who have long demanded a border wall were particularly disappointed. Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh described Trumps signing the omnibus as stabbing me in the back because of its lack of border wall funding (the bill includes $1.6 billion for 30 miles of fencing and enhanced security measures, to which Breitbart said simply: RIP BORDER WALL).
The ire at Trump poured in from across the internet, particularly from conservatives who have long argued that Trumpism was a real political ideology one that this omnibus bill would violate. Unfortunately, the fans of Trumpism keep getting confronted with the realities of the man himself.
