Remember when President Twitter Tough Guy demanded that his vanity border wall be funded and how Republicans must get tough, presumably regarding that issue? Well, a week makes a yuuuuge difference. Indeed, showing all of the backbone of a jellyfish and resolve of, well, some other snarky analogy the president did what we thought he would. He signed the spending bill. Well done! I admire your tenacity, short lived as it is. https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/28/poli...priations-bill-government-shutdown/index.html There was some uncertainty over whether the President would sign the appropriations bill, and top congressional Republicans made clear to the President that the political fallout of a shutdown, even a small one, would be potentially devastating ahead of the midterm elections. The President was sending mixed signals over whether he would sign the bill because of its lack of money for his signature campaign promise of a border wall. As recently as six days ago, Trump tweeted a demand to know where the money is for a border wall in what he called this "ridiculous" spending bill. "REPUBLICANS MUST FINALLY GET TOUGH!"
No wall still? Man, you'd think he would fight harder for one of the cornerstones of his campaign.....
