Supporters of US President Donald Trump have turned on him after he was yet again denied funding for a border wall.
Late on Wednesday, the US Congress approved a spending bill to keep federal agencies funded until February.
The Republican president was foiled in the Senate by members of his party, who refused to grant him any of the $5bn (£4bn) he wants for a US-Mexico wall.
Two years on, Mr Trump has been unable to deliver on the central campaign pledge that electrified his rallies.
Congress faces a Friday midnight deadline for averting a partial shutdown of the federal government.
Failing to agree a longer-term spending plan, the Senate has only been able to approve a seven-week extension of funds.
The House of Representatives is expected to act on the legislation later this week.
President Trump was quick to voice his displeasure, saying on Twitter on Thursday that he would not sign any legislation that does not include the wall.
But he has repeatedly threatened to veto budget bills that do not include funding for his project, only to sign such measures once they reach his desk.

Yep Trump is dead politically if he doesn’t veto this bill. I won’t vote for him!

Um, why would we be mad at the President when others
denied funding. The problem is THEM.
I blame the swamp infested Congress for sitting on this for 2 years.
Build the mookabooking wall.
How is he fighting them, exactly? Pulling a Neville Chamberlain and declaring we'll have peace in our time while Pelosi loads up to hit him with another round?
Supporters of US President Donald Trump have turned on him......
The democrat plan is working,...on a few dumba$$es.
It’s time to veto! Use the force Don!
What exactly has happened with the caravan?
We give iran $150 billion for airliners, but we can’t give $5 billion to defend our country against hoards of invaders? Seriously?
He’s had two years of CRs and a budget he could have vetoed over this but he kicked the van down the road to “play nice”. He had the political capital and bully pulpit to SLAM Congress like a sledge hammer DAILY. And guess what? I firmly believe he would have won! But here we are, no majority and no wall. He is the leader he owns this
paul ryan. firing squad.
Force Bill Schuster, Kevin Yoder, Mia Love and all of the other quitters/losers to SHOW UP FOR WORK and vote for the wall they always said they supported. You have NOTHING to lose ladies and gentlemen. Time to put up or shut up.

When I begrudgingly signed the Omnibus Bill, I was promised the Wall and Border Security by leadership. Would be done by end of year (NOW). It didn’t happen! We foolishly fight for Border Security for other countries - but not for our beloved U.S.A. Not good!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 20, 2018
Because it’s up to him to find a way to get it done.
He made the promise. It’s on his shoulders.
It’s up to him to hold their feet to the fire.
It’s up to him to lead them.
He’s not.
Angry yes...not at Trump.
You can get off the train.
I just donated $100 to the GoFundMe Build the Wall effort. The total was about $4.4 million just a bit ago. I view that as a tangible way to prove support for the wall. If the donations take off even more than they have already, I will give even more.
But I am all for the VETO.
BUILD THAT WALL!!!!!!
