I know you all are gleeful over this, but this isn't all on POTUS. He didn't write the bill, and had he vetoed it, it likely would have been overridden. I blame Congress 100%.
And don't tell me "Trump is the leader of the party." McConnell and Ryan are sleazy little weasels and always have been.
Remember when Trump promised never to golf once if elected?
p.s. Some joker named "odanny" just tried to tell me I'm not really a libertarian, that I voted for Trump, and that "my party" is responsible for getting us into Iraq. I gave him a quick beatdown by linking to my posts from 2013.
Of course I want the State to collapse.
I'm the first non-white Nazi to have ever lived.
Makes sense.
Remember when the SJWs called Ben Shapiro, a devout Jew, a Nazi?
Whatever the Left started smoking in the 60s hasn't worn off yet.
Back on topic...

Tillerson and DeVos are on the board of this "think tank".

No, it wouldn't have been vetoed. Definitely not until next week or longer when they could recall all of Congress.
Trump has no spine. Most people have realized that by now. He is a used car salesman with a slightly better suit.
Can you give some examples of Republicans getting whipped by NPR?
Getting exposed to the truth by NPR or PBS, is the equivalent of getting whipped, for the Republicans. I visited the PBS website just now, to see if they had any comment on this money they were granted in the legislation. I shouldn't have been surprised to find no reference to it, except what might have been contained in their regular news programs, about the spending bill. But I watched their show tonight and heard nothing about what they had gotten. I then realized that they would want to keep a low profile about this federal money, because it might reduce the amount their supporters would contribute. Maintaining an image of being poor and on the verge of shutdown, has been their policy, ever since the Republicans started putting the financial squeeze on them, decades ago.

Trump wanted to eliminate the Corporation for National and Community Service, which runs AmeriCorps, Vista, and other volunteer programs. It’s gonna get $1 billion
The Corporation for National and Community Service is a federal agency that helps millions of Americans. The agency supports education, helps communities rebuild after natural disasters, helps veterans and military families, supports independent living for seniors, helps families gain access to health care, ex.ex.
300 million for the national endowment of the arts
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, which calls itself the nation’s key nonpartisan policy forum for tackling global issues through independent research and policy dialogue will get $12 million
In 2017 Obama put forth a military budget of $523.9 billion dollars.
In 2018 Trump put forth a military budget of $639 billion dollars.
(Trump increased military spending by $116 billion dollars.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milita..._United_States
In a conversation about spending should one focus on $1 billion dollars spent to help education and senior citizens, or should one focus on a $116 billion dollar increase in military spending?

He still signed it, regardless. If he had a spine he would've vetoed it and taken his chances. Democrats will never support him; now his base is abandoning him. If he had vetoed it his base would have eaten it up.
