President Donald Trump indicated that he would sign the Republican Budget agreement with Democrats, despite growing dissent from his base that Congressional Republicans caved on important priorities. “We’re very happy with it,” Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg News, pointing to the $1.5 billion for border security. “And I think it’s important that we keep moving along. I think both sides are happy.” After an agreement was reached, Democrats crowed that they were able to save funding for Planned Parenthood and block funding for the wall, despite Trump’s campaign promises. “In a defeat for President Trump,” House Minority Nancy Pelosi wrote in a letter to Democrats, adding that the agreement “does not fund the immoral and unwise border wall or create a cruel new deportation force.” Trump admitted there were not any dramatic cuts, and that it still funded Planned Parenthood in the agreement, but seemed optimistic that he could fight those battles in the future. “This is all coming due again in September, October, and we’re going to have another round of discussions,” he said. Trump blamed Democrats for being “obstructionists” in the process, indicating he was not looking for a government shutdown showdown in the first months of his presidency. “Look, the Democrats are obstructionists; that’s all they can do is obstruct. They have no leadership. And we have to agree, and I think both — both sides agree, we have to keep government going, we don’t want to shut government,” he said.

Lucy moves the football again. I fell for it this time. Fuck Trump.
If he keeps this up, by reelection time, wonder how many of his supporters he will have left ?
With this one single act, he turned me into a bitter enemy. He CAMPAIGNED ON the Border Wall and defunding Planned Parenthood. The Republicans HAVE THE POWER to force through anything, with the nuclear option. They also have the power to out wait the Democrats on a government option. Instead, they quickly "give in" on funding, and betraying EVERY SINGLE THING. THIS is Trump's "Read my lips" - then raising taxes moments. THIS is the betrayal. There is no "wait and see" left here. If he didn't fight now, he never will. He never will. We have been betrayed. Trump was the Republicans' last hope. He won because men and women who have been left behind came out and voted for him. He just betrayed them all in order to get along with Democrats and with Republicans who never wanted those things. He should have shut down the government and made the fact that the government is shut down a virtue. Shut it down and leave it shut down - save money that way. Fight - that's what he promised. He didn't. He won't. We were betrayed. He's a liar. NEVER AGAIN. The Republicans crossed the Rubicon. They will now lose. Until a new party rises, we will have Democrat rule from the next election on out. Never again. Fuck Trump.
ROTFL We told ya so.

Yes, you DID tell me so. I preferred not to believe it. I gave Trump a chance. He failed me, twice in a month. I'm done with him.
