Trump tells Congress party's over after reluctantly signing budget-busting spending bill

Congress approves $1.3-trillion spending bill averting government shutdown

His threat to veto the bill contradicted the official stance presented by the White House just hours earlier.

Under any other presidency, the bill, which cleared Congress early Friday, would have been dissected, analyzed and debated over for every bit of its detail, but in Trump's era, the omnibus spending plan would have to settle for the backseat. Since then, he has refused to consider several bipartisan deals to reinstate the program, which protects some 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought into the country illegally as children, in return for cash for his border wall. It also clarifies that air emissions from animal waste at a farm are not applicable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act.

President Trump said on Twitter from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida that because of the military funding, "many jobs are created and our Military is again rich". "This would have granted express statutory authority to the agencies to withdraw a rule that courts have already found to be likely illegal and would allow the agencies to move forward on their efforts to develop a new WOTUS rule that comports with the Clean Water Act and Supreme Court precedent", AFBF President Zippy Duvall said in a letter urging lawmakers to pass the bill. The bulk of the money will go to repairing existing fencing segments.

But Trump's most conservative adherents took his threat seriously and were devastated he didn't follow through.

'I'm not gonna do it again.

President Trump speaks with Vice President Pence and Defense Secretary Mattis at his side.

. Rand Paul of Kentucky delayed the Senate vote by instead live-tweeting his reading of the lengthy bill, which he called a "sad excuse for legislation".

Lawmakers from both parties expressed worries about the legislation. "No one has read it. Congress is broken".

After President Donald Trump threatened on Friday morning to veto a massive spending package, you might have expected a bit more chaos on Capitol Hill. Republican Senator Jim Risch from the state of Idaho also took issue with the bill, but for a far simpler reason: a provision buried in Page 786 would have a park in his state named after one of his political foes who have recently died.

Still, he voiced disdain for the hasty way the bill was passed. "But generally speaking, we think this is a really, really good immigration package".
