President Trump said Friday morning he's "considering a veto" of the Republican and Democratic establishment's crooked omnibus spending bill.

"I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded," Trump tweeted.

The move runs counter to White House budget director Mick Mulvaney's statements on Thursday claiming Trump would sign the bill.

"Let's cut right to the chase: Is the President going to sign the bill? The answer is yes," Mulvaney said yesterday.

I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded.

Senator Bob Corker urged Trump to veto the bill:

Please do, Mr. President. I am just down the street and will bring you a pen. The spending levels without any offsets are grotesque, throwing all of our children under the bus. Totally irresponsible. https://t.co/np7BmP1AkB

Such a move would likely trigger a temporary, partial government shutdown.

The omnibus bill is total garbage as Rand Paul explained last night.

Adding DACA to it would make it even worse, but the Democrats have made it clear they favor overrunning America with third world foreigners over the long term more important than giving amnesty to 1.8 million DACA recipients short term if it meant closing the borders and restricting immigration.
