Discussion: White House Says Trump Signed Funding Bill To Avert Shutdown

Let me get this straight.

This man is going to challenge the integrity of Congress to apportion funding…and he wants a pat on the back for averting a shutdown whose idea was his alone.

Keep taking it on the chin, America…until he is removed from office, it’s gonna get worse.

Well, that was a whole lot of fuss and bother and structural degradation of our political system and way of life just to get a goddamn routine funding bill signed. Whattaya think, GOP, how’s that makey-Americey greatey-againey thing workin’ out for ya?

Just wait, there is the next budget negotiation, then the Sep 2020 one, and raising the debt ceiling (which probably needs to happen twice as well before the elections). Plenty of time for Trump and Republicans to do their song and dance again, possibly shutting the government down in the process. I do wonder how many Americans are learning the lesson that Republicans are basically unfit to run the nation at this point…that’s going to be a critical factor in what happens in 2020.

What a rancid moment in America!
Praise to voters and elected officials who curtailed the damage and may well be able to bring us out of the mire. Onward!!!

White House Says Trump Signed Funding Bill To Avert Shutdown

Don’t we need proof? Also, it would be helpful if we knew it was timestamped, just in case tRump and the rest of his clowns are lying.

Let’s face it - trump didn’t sign the bill because he cared about another shutdown.

trump signed it because, if he didn’t, he would have had to cancel his trip to Mar-a-lago again.

He signed the bill in private? What, did he use disappearing ink?

Yeah, I want to see proof of it. Nothing that’s said by this WH has any validity or standing.
