Fox News Turns Against Donald Trump for the Worst Imaginable Reason
By Daily Kos
Trump whined about having to sign a bill that was so chock-full of crap he didn't like. He said that he would never sign another bill like this one, and most Americans probably hope that's true. The spectacle of Trump lambasting a bill as he was signing it is actually a rather good depiction of his pitiful proclivity for failure.

Sean Hannity: I personally wish the president vetoed this bill, made them stay in Washington. Make them keep their promises. What happened to the Republican party. Whatever happened to the party that believed in fiscal responsibility?Tucker Carlson: We're told we need this bill because of national security. But how secure is a nation that has no borders? Well about as secure as a political party that has no rationale for existing.
Laura Ingraham: It pains me to say this, but the president did have a choice. He could have called Congress back to town and make them pass a continuing resolution until his priorities were funded and we explain this mess to the American people.
Jesse Watters: This was a huge defeat for the President on a signature issue. It's really, really bad. There's no way to spin it.
Pete Hegseth: This is a swamp budget. A Mitch McConnell special. Democrats control the process. If Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are happy, the American people shouldn't be.
[Late Addition] Jeanine Pirro:The omnibus bill that Republicans gave President Trump yesterday is a total betrayal of him and those who elected him.
The opposition to Trump's approval of the spending bill was nearly unanimous among the Fox News regulars. But what makes this even more ridiculous is that they didn't oppose the bill for what many would think were the obvious right-wing reasons. They didn't complain about the 1.3 trillion dollar price tag. Or the expansion of the federal debt. Or the funding for Planned Parenthood. Or the additional sanctions on Russia. Or the many other budgetary increases for government agencies that Trump and Republicans have long promised to shut down.
