Facing some grumbling from more conservative Republicans and jabs from Democrats, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that a spending deal worked out in Congress in recent days was a “clear win” for his policy goals, citing extra money for the military and border security.

“After years of partisan bickering and gridlock, this bill is a clear win for the American people,” the President said in the White House Rose Garden, flanked by members of the Air Force Academy football team.

Mr. Trump eagerly cited $21 billion in extra defense spending in the bill for the Pentagon.

"Facing some grumbling..." I would say that's the understatement of the day. If this budget is a clear win for him, I made a terrible mistake voting for him. I have never voted for a Democrat for President and what have we gotten for my troubles? Not a damned thing we were promised. The DC swamp is a full as ever, the Democrats are as in control as ever and Republicans don't have the slightest idea of how to govern. I have never been as disappointed in government as I am right now.

He needs to find out which one of his Senior aides said that he just seem to go crazy on Monday.

This Budget deal is Obama’s incomplete one so the GOP got another bite into the apple

In September, the GOP will have their own & they better get it right!

I don’t think the Dems were even opposing an increase in defense spending.

I don’t think they objected either. That’s peanuts compared to what they get.

I expect a full cave on AGW. You car makers don’t expect any CAFE relief. And they are just trying to figure the best way to break it to us that we are staying in the idiotic Paris Climate “Treaty”. Or maybe they just won’t say anything and we stay in it.

Super!

You can tell just how big a win it was by all the crying the Democrats aren’t doing.

Pitiful.

Just like Trump stated many times.
“We’ll win so much you will get tired of winning”.

Well dammit lets try losing I’m sick of all this winning.

“After years of partisan bickering and gridlock, this bill is a clear win for the American people,”.............President Trump, you will have to excuse me, I sure did not feel like I won a thing yesterday. I felt like I was kicked in the gut, still do. you say years of partisan bickering and gridlock?????????????? For 8 years this congress gave obama everything he wanted. Pfffft! What did they give Bush? Heck Bush was part of deep state, so he really didn't care. This was not a clear win for the American people. I sure hope I was not wrong about you sir.

Was Trump waving a piece of white paper over his head talking about September? If you believe September will be any different, you need to step back and think again.

Well, it’s damn obvious that you’re a little weenie who has surrendered. The best thing you can do is dig a friggin’ hole and bury yourself because you’ll be no damn good in the coming battles. FR is recruiting warriors for battle, not little girls who whine.

Shape up or ship out.

You are a fool to believe what you are hearing in DC. Even Rush Limbaugh doesnt believe it as his interview with Pence showed today. If you are this gullible, I’m glad you were never in my command Sergeant.

Either you’re a warrior willing to fight or you’re not. Get lost.
