President Donald Trump quickly signed the Congressional two-year spending deal on Friday, just hours after it passed the House of Representatives in an early morning vote.
“Just signed Bill,” Trump announced on Twitter. “Our Military will now be stronger than ever before.”
The president focused on the big boost to military spending as a win for Republicans.
“We love and need our Military and gave them everything — and more,” he wrote. “First time this has happened in a long time. Also means JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!”
The Republican budget deal with Democrats raises spending by $300 billion — roughly $165 billion in military spending and $131 billion to domestic spending. The bill also offers $90 billion in hurricane relief for Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico.

Waiting for the first 'conservative' trump supporter to hail this spending package as a positive. Whatever happened to fiscal conservatives? I guess budget deficits are only problematic if democrats are in power.
