More Winning! This Time with the New Budget
- Thread starter InTheLight
- Start date
Stable Genius should have led on the budget deal. He should have put the veto threat front and center when he saw DACA wasn't being addressed and when the Wall was not being funded. These were his signature issues. He should have said multiple times over the weeks leading up to this, "I will veto this bill if I don't get these two things." Should have told Ryan and McConnell it was not-negotiable.
Now, apparently he's signed out of Twitter and put his TV remote control down and just discovered this stuff isn't in his own budget deal. So to fix it he's threatening to shut down the government.

Oh, I've had plenty of rides. Not afraid of them. But this one is being created out of thin air by our President. He's undermining his own economic stimulus he generated with the tax cuts.
We have a trade imbalance with the most populated nation on the planet, who have a tiny middle class. This is "unfair", according to our President. We gotta do something about it, he says.
So in response to Chinese manufacturers knocking off some of our products, violating intellectual property laws, selling counterfeits, he slaps tariffs on Chinese made products. Isn't the proper response to intercept these counterfeit goods before they get here, destroy them, and enforce the law?
What is he going to do if/when China decides not to buy Boeing aircraft and instead buys from Airbus?
Boeing signs deal to sell 300 planes worth $37 billion to China
We've been losing trade wars for many years, and the RINOs have gotten used to it. Sorry, time to go in a different direction. The markets will be fine.
And Trump isn't liking the spending bill. And I know he didn't like Nancy and Chuck's gloating.

I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded.

Boeing has a "completion center" in China where the final steps of assembly is completed. Most of this work is installing the interiors. The bulk of the plane and plane components are built and assembled in the US.
Boeing pitches China facility as Trump-friendly
Right from the horses mouth.

"China builds horizontal stabilizers, vertical fins, the aft tail section, doors, wing panels, wire harnesses and other parts on the Next-Generation 737. China also produces the rudder for the 737 MAX, a more fuel-efficient version of the best-selling 737 airplanes.
China contributes trailing edge wing ribs, horizontal stabilizers, vertical fins, ailerons, spoilers and inboard flaps for the 747-8. In addition, China has an important role on the 787 building the rudder, wing-to-body fairing panels, leading edge and panels for the vertical fin, and other composite parts.
China is the first conversion location for the new 747-400 Boeing Converted Freighter. Parts and assemblies are built in China; conversion, test and certification are performed in China; and airplanes are delivered from Xiamen, China. Boeing partners with more than 35 major Chinese firms as direct contractors on this production and also with hundreds of Chinese subcontractors."

It’s law now. Even the most ardent Trumpsters gotta be disappointed.
He’s touting the military spending, but the democrat leaders and the never Trumpers humiliated him today.

Rand Paul reads the bill (in disgust, and rightly so) on Twitter.

I wonder what $51 million on International Family Planning and Reproductive Health is all about? Usually that is a dog whistle for abortion funding.

Right
It will be used in supporting democrat candidates. The republicans funded their own opposition.
He has to veto this bill, and get the poison amendments out of it, or he will be a failed one term President. This bill has several things that directly contradict the positions of his strongest supporters.
Brilliant!
President Trump jolted Washington on Friday when he began the day tweeting that he might veto a massive spending bill needed to prevent a government shutdown — and then appearing in front of cameras five hours later to say that he had signed the legislation.
... “I looked very seriously at the veto,” Trump told reporters. “I was thinking about doing the veto. But because of the incredible gains that we've been able to make for the military, that overrode any of our thinking.”
... On Thursday, administration officials and congressional leaders said that the president would sign the bill — even though for days he had privately complained about the package in late-night phone calls and early morning rants — and the White House issued a news release touting its accomplishments.
... At times he went so far as to portray himself as being almost helpless and having little choice but to accept the spending package.
... The president’s unhappiness was fueled Friday morning, as it often is, with Trump in the residence watching “Fox and Friends.” For days, he heard that Republicans were getting rolled in the spending negotiations, and that message was now being delivered by his favorite morning show.
Trump signs massive spending bill, but not before a little drama

He didn’t... he had no choice... had to sign it. 
218 m to promote democracy developments in Europe
He just signed away any chance of getting re-elected, and probably signed away control of both the House and the Senate, which means he will not be able to appoint a conservative Supreme Court Justice as he will have lost the Republican majority to confirm. The man must be brain dead!He didn’t... he had no choice... had to sign it.
