Amid much criticism, President Donald Trump signed the $1.3 trillion spending bill yesterday, saying he signed it despite misgivings to boost defense spending. He said this was the only way to have really sustained, continued success.
“There are a lot of things I’m unhappy about in this bill. There are a lot of things that we shouldn’t have had in this bill, but we were in a sense forced if we want to build our military,” Trump said. “I said to Congress, I will never sign another bill like this again.”
