He definitely seemed defeated at that presser. Mattis probably told him how dangerous it would be not to get 3/4 of a trillion dollars (an absolute lie). Mattis needs to go.that being said the buck stops with Trump. He signed it. He should have said, yes, this absolutely leaves us vulnerable and we may get attacked because of this but I won’t sign it until Congress sends me a real bill. Until that, any attack on this country falls squarely in the lap of those putting in silly riders into the bill.ill be at my desk, come get me when there is a bill to sign. He’s controlled by the military liars until he says something like that
About a month ago, I would have used similar logic with Lyin' Ryan and McTurtle.
"Boys, if you send me a crap bill (like this one), I will veto it. That will mean a government shut down and a PR disaster. You will loose your majorities in November. Impeachment proceedings will start in January 2019. It won't make any difference if we fund our military then as we will be under attack from within, not internationally.
OK, you're dismissed. Come back to me with an acceptable bill."
