Donald Trump on vetoing the budget: "F--k that

[brooklynite]

President Trump signed a $1.3 trillion budget into law Friday — but he wasn’t happy about it.

The President had threatened to veto the legislation his White House had signed off on a day earlier, complaining that it didn’t address “Dreamer” immigrants and didn’t have enough cash for his long-promised Mexican border wall.

Sources told The Wall Street Journal he was talked out of doing so by aides who warned him he’d be blamed for shutting down the government on a weekend when he was jetting off to his Florida estate. “F--k that,” Trump reportedly replied.

Trump told reporters he was forced to sign the “ridiculous” 2,232-page bill — which he admitted he hadn’t even read — because he wants to “keep America safe.”

1. No one read it

Not just him.

2. It was just another act for PR

Trump just promoting what he wants people to think now. He's playing both sides to use later. He is using this propaganda to use when someone he wants to attack he can say either way they were the bad guys, when its always him lying, and making wild accusations and claims. Trump proves again he's nothing but a fraud, and a liar. He's demonizing the Congress to promote himself with, when he knew all along what it had in it. He hates DACA and the kids or he wouldn't have done anything to cause this.

3. He could have always not made the fake veto threat an no one would have noticed the budget anyway.

Instead he made the fake threat and it became a big deal that he signed something he didn’t like. I don’t think he cares about the budget either way. That said, there will never be a wall.
