Trump is only partially to blame for this. He did not see the establishments plan until it was too late and that is his fault. [/quote] I don't think anyone is happy with congress either. [/quote] They are not happy with Congress but who is the most upset here? Trump's base. They are livid over this and that was the plan all along. [/quote] You have a good point. I would add that I have observed several items of interest over the past several weeks such as the Prince of Saudi visit, Bibi's visit, military drills with Israel, Iran deal to expire soon, escalation in Yemen, escalation in Syria, delay of ME peace deal for now, etc. While I do agree that your point is a good one, I think it may be in combination with the aforementioned paragraph. This approach would kill 2 birds with one stone, so to speak. If the Congress knew that Trump HAD to sign this (because we need war preparation funds right now even if war is not tomorrow, but is forthcoming) it would be a check mate on Trump. Get the base upset and they get their war. Not saying that my thoughts are absolutely correct. Just interesting events as of late regarding potential war. [/quote] I do think war is coming and there is little that can be done to stop it. Trump realizes this too. [/quote] I think that you are right. Trump knows that it is unavoidable. Some of the reasons are because war mongers have been working to make sure war happens. Some of it is a natural occurrence given the world circumstances which are not orchestrated. Combination. Tough spot to be in for a President. It appears that Trump's hand was forced. If he was fooled, shame on him. If he is broken because there is something we do not know that has to do with war, I pity him. Either way, it would suck to be Trump right now. [/quote]
Original Message
I don't think Trump even understands the full significance of what the establishment has just done to him. He is probably starting to understand and that was why he put out the veto threat. Keep in mind the establishment wants nothing more than for Trump and his supporters to go away so they can continue to run the show like they always have. They don't really care if Republicans lose in the mid-terms. The establishment and their way of operating the government is way more important to them than either side losing or winning a few members.
This bill was DESIGNED to be a huge FU to Trump voters.
I guarantee you establishment Republicans and Dems are celebrating tonight because they have finally succeeded in driving a wedge between Trump and his base. It is a sad day.
