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).
Of course, I need to see the wall built - and finished by the end of his term.
All this talk and money does nothing for us, if the wall isn’t completed.
But I have some hope now that it was all a scheme, and he had this planned from the beginning. Making the wall a national security issue, funding and possibly overseen by the military, makes it something every American can understand. Lots of countries have walls and they are all for protection (well the Berlin wall worked the other way).
Rush, LOL! His ego will never let him know he was wrong. I wouldn’t wait for that. He DID admit he was wrong about backing Bush and his amnesty - but only by saying he wouldn’t carry the GOP’s water for them again. That’s a pretty mild acknowledgement, considering he was backing a traitor and endorsing the invasion.
You know, the democrats’ reaction might just be part of Trump’s plan. By letting them think they won, letting them act as if they won - they can’t back it off now and complain about this. They would look even more stupid than they already do. He might be purposely putting them in a position of having to go along with this, to quiet down the backlash. I don’t know, just a thought. He is being fought on all sides - I’d like to see the opposition quiet for a little bit, so I’m hoping. Making the wall a miliary/national security matter could help lessen the liberals’ talking points.
