U.S. President Donald Trump grudgingly signed a $1.3 trillion spending bill into law Friday, hours after threatening to veto the measure because it didn't protect undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children or fully fund his proposed border wall.
At a hastily arranged White House event Friday afternoon, Trump told a group of reporters he signed the sweeping funding package "for the purpose of national security" even though he was "unhappy about a lot of things" in the massive funding package.
"I will never sign another bill like this again. I'm not going to do it again," he said. "Nobody read it. It's only hours old. Some people don't even know — $1.3 trillion, it's the second-largest ever."

Trump told a group of reporters he looked "very seriously at the veto" but decided to sign the bill given "the incredible gains" for the military.
Republicans controlling both houses created the 2nd largest spending bill IN HISTORY after passing a tax cut that created trillion dollar ANNUAL deficits, and a REPUBLICAN president signed that porkulus of a bill
