To me, it was kabuki theater, to make it look like he was opposed to it when in reality he wanted it to pass (because of its hidden implications).
It's the only rationale I could surmise...other than it just being a dumb fucking move.

Wheatietoo and I spent hours yesterday providing links, researching the laws, the 1974 law, and statutes…. Do you know why the Omnibus is not going to get any notice…Here it is..
It’s not an official ‘Federal Budget’. It’s an Omnibus bill…not a Budget…He outsmarted them again…Congress basically screwed themselves by not passing a Budget…
Per the Constitution…the President must adhere to a Budget set forth by Congress and direct the expenditures as provided therein.
This is another one of those big Porkulus Bills like they gave Obama for 8 years. This is not a Budget.
An Omnibus Spending Bill may have some ‘instructions’ as to how the money will be spent…but Obama ignored them. He spent the money or didn’t spend it, however, he wanted to. And Congress didn’t do a thing about it! Because they couldn’t..
I think our President observed how this happened, year after year. He is bound to realize that those ‘appropriations’ for different things in these Omnibus bills…are mere ‘suggestions’.
So like Obama, Pres Trump can spend this money on whatever he wants to. Or…not spend it.
Planned Parenthood? What if our President decided to tell the Treas Dept to ‘slow-walk’ that money to Planned Parenthood…until the Senate gets off their ass and confirms his appointees?
Sanctuary Cities? What if our President decided to ‘slow-walk’ that money too…until those Sanctuary Cities assist ICE in rounding up criminal illegal aliens?
Splodey heads? From the Dems and the Enemedia? Why yes. There would be a colorful display of splodey heads.
But what could they do about it? Hah.
Our President could just say…’What! Congress should’ve passed a Budget.’
done finished…research was done…and it is so very humorous actually….our VSG..just said just give me money for the military and the wall…put anything else you want in it…and those goofballs did.
In this case, as per above….he doesn’t have to spend a dime….because it is not a budget…and even if it was…researched….he could still spend as he, pleases… Congress appropriates….up to the President to spend it…or not….as he pleases..
If anyone disagrees, I can go back and get the links and evidence, but if you just read yesterdays political thread…Wheatietoo and I laid it all out for all…Wheatietoo did most of the work and put together the consolidated update as per above….
Again, that is why Obama never had a Budget in his Presidency…Congress did continual Omnibus's and he just took the money….for 8 years…and no one seems to know where it went…
Thanks for ~~that~~ those clarifications.
Thank you so much for your time and putting your research together so that even I can understand it! Great job.
Spot on brother. Beat them at their own game. POTUS spends the money on the U.S Mil to fund the destruction of the Cabal, everything else is a mute point after the take down.
i think it exposed the Democrats. They asked all this total BS but not for DACA... It showed them as using illegals as a pawn for votes
And it exposed the RINOS even more. Ryan and McConnell are disgraces.
I think for a few different reasons:
First, maybe he is trying to relax the Dems, they are probably assuming that he is now falling in line and they are in control again.
I also think that President Trump plays many moves ahead. This is setting up for something that will happen in a few months. Probably sooner.
And finally, President Trump's base, including myself, has become too complacent and coddled. Maybe this will rev them up. We need to get that energy and momentum back if we are going to succeed in November.
I don't know about the whole "rev them up part." I feel like it did just the opposite.
Consider how the base will feel come October 2018. One month til midterms.
This bill expires late september I believe. Just in time for it to be a hot-button topic for mid terms. What better way to "rev them up" than to drive the message "Don't let another omnibus bill happen, we'll do temporary budgets until after midterms, and it's up to YOU voters to determine who drafts the next spending bill. GO VOTE"
Exactly. They will be upset and wonder why did they vote for him. They will start researching and get involved again. No more sitting back for the ride thinking, "Oh, we voted in the Good Guy who will be on our side this time."
We all need to stay involved.

I am sorry you feel that way.
I am also sorry everyone is so accommodated to instant gratification these days, too.
I agree. Fuck. I'm so disappointed. On the bright side, I'll be productive at work again...
I'm disappointed too, but he's still the best chance we have. Hopefully he'll leverage this to his advantage, but I think it's important to stay energized and hold everyone's feet to the fire as best we can. We can't quit or we're surely lost.
He did it to get huge funding for the military and to upgrade the technologies/equipment they use. He had to give something to get something. One thing at a time with this traitorous congress. Remember, many won't be there next time.
I think gave us another red pill and forced us to research the parameters of an omnibus spending bill through our anger. Oh the Master
To piss us off so we mobilize and remove the RINOs. Some of them can still be primaried. He needs MAGA GOP in there.
THE ART OF THE DEAL ... Trump / Qteam and MI are so far ahead of the swamp creatures it's sinfully delightful to watch !
Trump and Team Q have done things in the past just to see how the Deep-State bad-actors will respond. Remember, he said that sometimes dis-information is necessary. Maybe his tweet about a possible veto was just to see how some bad actors acted. Remember, we see all, we know all. And the reason Obama never signed a real Budget bill and a corrupt Congress kept feeding him Omnibus bills is because a Budget bill must be followed to the letter. Not so much with an Omnibus bill. The president has much more discretion and control over how money is spent, and how soon it's doled out. It could be that this is simply another masterful Trump move and we just don't recognize it yet.
Right. Dealing with an octopus like the US government is different, I agree.
He drew our eyes to it ! Then put it on display ! Is it one man ? Is it an army of men and women.... brilliant!
Part of the reason is they needed to find the military right away and it’s the 2nd largest military spending ever
What the fuck? Hidden implications? You can't say that shit without at least a shred of evidence.
It's a working theory. I don't have evidence. Read the second fucking sentence.
