Because agreeing to $900 billion in social spending was the only way for Trump to get Democrats on board to pass a $700 billion defense budget, to re-build the military neglected and dangeroussly unprepared after 8 years of Obama.
I think Trump should have vetoed it and re-negotiated to pass another bill a week or two later, but I understand his concession to pass military spending and re-build a military that was destroyed under Obama. If there had been a shutdown, the liberal media would have blamed the shutdown entirely on Trump. But as I said at the time, I still would not have passed it. But don't lie to us, M E M, we all know that it was Schumer and Pelosi who pushed for the increased spending, and were giddy that they got away with getting it through.

Also if you tend to say things that Russian bots say it probably is okay


That's too ambiguous for me to respond to. If you want it answered, clarify your meaning.
