Conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh said President Trump signing a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill into law on Friday made him feel like he was witnessing Trump "go back up" the escalator.
"I try to be a guy governed by my thoughts, but I’m not liking the way I’m feeling. I’m feeling like I just saw Donald Trump get on the escalator and go back up," Limbaugh said on his radio show Friday, referring to the scene where Trump announced his candidacy for president in June 2015 at Trump Tower in New York City.
While Limbaugh said he understood spending was necessary for the Trump administration's infrastructure aspirations, he said he disliked how congressional Republicans capitulated to the Democrats' demands because of a "stupid ass government shutdown fear."
He added that many of the president's immigration policy agenda items were "stripped away" from the final draft of the bill, warning it may be the "last piece of meaningful legislation" before the 2018 midterm elections.
"In addition to feeling like I just saw Donald Trump go back up the escalator, I’m not feeling like anything that happened today was game changing," the radio host continued. "This seemed much the same as we have become accustomed to in watching Washington function. And it doesn’t feel right."

MAGA Died today.
Could be the worst thing Rush Limbaugh has ever said.
Rush...this is the guy who huddled with Chuck Schumer in secret to stop talking about immigration on his radio show.
What happens when this law expires at the end of September? Do we have the fight then?
No, Schumer asked him what it would take to get him to support some form of immigration reform and the talks yielded nothing. Rush not only didn't stop talking about it he came out forcefully against the bill - he was in fact blamed for its demise.
Yup.
How so? Too accurate?
I don’t think so...although it was a setback, no doubt.
Does anybody remember Rush Limbaugh in Q4 of 2015 pushing Rubio and Cruz as as good as it gets.
Limbaugh was a punk. He loathed Trump and called his supporters “Trumpists”.
Rush lost his collective mind and I haven’t trusted him since. Who was buying Limbaugh adverts? hmmm?
Fast forward - Limbaugh says he was pro Trump before anyone.
BS, I was interested when he announced and convinced when Cruz voter shamed in Iowa.
Limbaugh drinks his own pee.
Blame Congress not Trump.
I think it will be remembered as "Black Friday", the high-water mark, the Gettysburg of MAGA (at least in it's present form).
When Rush is feeling queasy, you know things have really gone off kilter. Rush is usually the cool head in the room.
Today was like being a little kid fan of boxing, then finding out that your favorite fighter’s last loss involved him THROWING his fight.
That guy used to annoy me but gave him another chance, and he's a pretty decent, honest guy.
Sean's mad, and Ann Coulter says he will be impeached.
Rush did Trump no favors today. He could have not told so many how bad he had it figured... Trump will win this against the deep state ... today was a teaching day.. a learning experience... for Trump... it was rough.. and Rush came down on him hard!
He’s the boss. He’s the one who could have stopped it.
Instead he signed his name to it.

Seems fitting.
I think the greatest thing that could have happened is to shut this corrupt, bloated gooberment down!! I despise the Demonrats and I despise more than a few Republicans in that cesspool of corrupt power!!!
Lincoln did the same thing as he was winning and took a democrat bullet
Trump presidency might not survive 2018 elections
