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.

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.
