[_Washington Post_: “Trump threatens to veto omnibus bill because it does not address DACA recipients, fully fund border wall“](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2018/03/23/trump-threatens-to-veto-omnibus-bill-because-it-does-not-address-daca-recipients/?undefined=&utm_term=.f974b11635c6&wpisrc=nl_most&wpmm=1) \*President Trump said he might veto the sweeping $1.3 trillion spending bill passed early Friday — a mov e that likely would lead to a government shutdown — because it does nothing to address the fate of young undocumented immigrants and does not fully fund his border wall. In a Friday morning tweet, Trump said that those protected from deportation by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program have been “totally abandoned” by Congress, and he blamed the Democrats. On Thursday afternoon, senior Trump administration officials told reporters that Trump intended to sign the spending bill, making no mention of the president’s concern. Several aides were trying to convince the president Friday not to follow through with his threat.\*Would anyone care to mount a defense of this hemorrhoid-eyed, perneciously dishonest, infantile trolling fuckrag of human being?

He wants to make sure that the DACA recipients are taken care of, since the Democrats so callously forgot about them in their misguided attempt to keep the government running. ---

You should have called this “The Omnibus Trump Threatens to Veto Omnibus Bill Thread.” Also, “Omnibus Bill” would make a great Transformer. ---

Apparently he’s also not happy that Americans will not be asked to (fully) fund his wall folly #1 campaign promise that said folly would be funded by Mexico. In other words, and forgive me if you’ve heard this one before, he’s a fucking moron. ---

His attempts to try to blame “the Dems” for the very problems he’s created just come off as if he hasn’t mastered the fundamental concept of object permanence. Either that, or he thinks that because _Fox & Friends_ venerates his every pronouncement that everyone is as imbecilic as he is. What a selfishly stupid motherfucker. And the same for everyone else who continues to support him despite what is at this point a large body of evidence of is unambiguous incompetence to be president of anything down to the local Kiwanis Club. He makes “fucking morons” look intelligence by comparison. Stranger ---

I think his mistake was to take the Democrats literally rather than seriously about DACA. ---

He probably won’t do it. It’s just his standard theatrics. Trump holds cute little kitten over a Blender and tweets that he is considering making a kitten smoothie. Then at the last minute he decides not to and everyone applauds him for saving the kitten. Of course it does have anti-Russian sanctions in it, so its possible he got a call from his puppet master so who knows. ---

Trump says that shit to troll Washington. It makes him feel empowered. Washington eats it up and feeds the fat-little-fucker (FLF) more attention, so the FLF trolls more. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > GOOD GOD! Will @realDonaldTrump talk about ANYTHING but defense spending??? Per Obama: The 1980s called & they want their foreign policy back. He was going on and on about an [”arms race”](https://newrepublic.com/minutes/139490/donald-trump-ready-start-next-nuclear-arms-race) that he seems intent on creating from whole cloth. They ‘Eighties were certainly a heyday for Trump (aside from the near constant mocking by _Spy Magazine_) and it is understandable he wants to relive those glory days but can we just not by him an _A-ha_ album and a DVD set of _Miami Vice_ and let him enjoy them privately?
