This is a reversal from earlier: Still possible Trump did not know even if White House did

Fact of the matter is the contents of the spending bill are counterproductive of stated Trump goals. If no one told him that directly he wouldn't know it otherwise. He didn't read the bill, neither did the Representatives who voted on it. It was too long and there wasn't enough time. But it does suggest Trump doesn't really care enough about the issue to warrant it being his signature issue.

No way to run a country, except that's how it always is with these giant bills.

Regular order ought to involve funding one department only, every month on a schedule, but fat chance.

No one wants the responsibility of the hard work required. Everyone in Washington shoves it off on whomever they can and then blames whomever they can. Same in Michigan, where all controversial issues go to referendum.

Smoking pot isn't healthy, but now it's decriminalized here.
