“At the risk of being called an “idiot” and “Hillary lover” again, though, I have to wonder why he also hoodwinked his own base. What was the point of the “I might veto this” tweet? Why did he look so defeated and miserable on Friday if he’d really pulled a BIG one on the RATS? Why wasn’t he standing up there with Swampers McConnell and Ryan (and I still have a hard time believing EITHER of them would participate in anything that would really help DJT!) giving Chuck ‘n’ Nancy the proverbial finger? Something still doesn’t seem right, to me.”
Ditto. And Ryan and McConnell would NEVER go along with building the wall, since they love their illegals more than us citizens. IMO.
Maybe it’s something he figured out after tweeting he would veto it?
And then there’s that amendment that military funding could be used to build the wall that was added...maybe he got that one through himself, making this possible.

A large part of my negative reaction last Friday was not only because we’d been given false hope with the “I might veto this” tweet, but the way he presented the signed bill and then the little bones he threw us later in the day about banning trannies in the military and sending Chuck Schumer to Mars (or something like that). I admit, part of that reaction might have also been thanks to listening to the first couple hours of Rush, where he said again and again that this bill had been crafted specifically to destroy Trump, should he sign it, and describing it as a complete and utter defeat and capitulation to the swamp.
Trump’s tweet this morning implying that the military would, indeed, be used to build the wall (and thereby suggesting that the stories about diverting money earmarked for the military for that purpose are true) was a very good thing - but, color me cynical - I need more. I need to see the wall being built. I need to see Chuck and Nancy throwing tantrums. I need to see David Hogg stand up there and announce that if we build a wall he’s going to start another revolution. Whatever. I need to hear Rush to admit he was wrong, too (not to mention Ann Coulter).
When things don't seem to make sense, question your assumptions.
Imho, DJT wasn't as 'defeated and miserable' as he was leading the enemy to believe.
Having been a TV guy for awhile, he knows a little something about the acting game.
;-)
He didn’t know what was in it until he got it.
Most of his base figured he would come out on top, one way or another.
There were/are some very vocal voices here on FR screaming “we’re doomed” and “I’ll never support him again” type stuff.
They are not his base and jump in every chance they get to demoralize the rest of us.
The rest of us basically started reading the bill, watching and waiting.
