The president cited an unlikely source, CNN senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta - whom he and aides have called "fake news" - as he took a victory lap that began several hours after he signed a three-week stopgap measure into law.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he was trusting the pledge of his Republican counterpart, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, to allow a "free and open debate" on immigration.
The Senate vote was moved from 1 a.m. ET Monday to noon after it became clear Democrats would block the spending bill over disagreements on a variety of issues, most notably what do about young people affected by the expiring Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Schumer and company had insisted that the spending bill needed to get government in full operation had to include provisions for almost 800,000 illegal immigrants permitted to stay in the United States through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Democrats lined up to vote on the deal, but the progressive wing is not happy about the bill, fearing they did not get enough assurances that the Dreamer issue will be saved.
"However, should these issues not be resolved by the time the funding bill before us expires on February 8, 2018, assuming that the government remains open, it would be my intention to proceed to legislation that would address DACA, border security, and related issues", McConnell said in his floor speech.
McConnell also spoke after Democrats withdrew their objections.
