Just like any other politician does when he's caught screwing the American people who elected him, Trump was quick to point the finger of blame at somebody else. Congress made him do it. He didn't have a choice. He needed the military funded, so he was in a corner.
Never mind that he had said, after it was passed by the House, that he was in favor of the Bill and would probably sign it. Never mind that he never said one word about having his back to the wall before the Senate passed it. Never mind that many Republicans had come out against the Bill and had, in fact, voted against it. Never mind that he could have vetoed it and explained why, and called Congress back into session to get it straight.
Trump signed it. He knew what he was doing when he signed it. Like the evildoers who wrote and passed the Bill, he immediately left town after he signed it. Evidently, just as with his predecessor, the buck stops anywhere except on the Oval Office desk.
It was a setup, pure and simple. And we're supposed to shut up and take it.
I believe in supporting the man I voted for, but not when he turns his back and lies to the American people. He's become a turncoat. He and Ryan and McConnell have done the country a horrible disservice that I will never, ever forget.
