Though expressing reluctance, US President Donald Trump on Friday did sign a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill that “nobody read,” despite previous threats of a veto.
Calling the move « a matter of national security, » Trump announced his intention to sign the bill while also highlighting that he and others « were forced to » pass it « for the military. » Not done with the US military, the president went on to call out Democrats for their « wasted » money on frivolous projects instead of funneling funds to the armed forces.
« For the last eight years, deep defense cuts have undermined our national security… hollowed our readiness as a military unit and put America at really grave risk, » said a visibly irritated Trump. His signature came with the caveat that he would never sign such an omnibus bill again.
And when has The Donald failed to keep a promise?
