Yesterday, House Speaker Paul Ryan said the spending bill more allotment for border security than the request of the Trump administration. He also stated that Pres. Trump was happy with it. The President said, he is not happy with it.
In his remarks, the Pres. Trump slammed Congress for quickly putting together and passing the 2,232-page legislation. He called it a “ridiculous situation” since lawmakers didn’t have enough time to read the entire bill.
While looking over at the pile of paperwork, the President said, “You tell me who can read that quickly.” Take note that the House passed the spending bill on Thursday, less than 17 hours after its release to the public. The Senate sent it to the President’s desk early morning Friday.
In addition, the President made it clear that will be the last time he will sign a similar legislation. According to him, “I said to Congress, I will never sign another bill like this again. I’m not going to do it again. Nobody read it. It’s only hours old. Some people don’t even know what’s in it.”
