4D Chess? Did President Trump Just Pull A Fast One (In A Good Way) By Signing The Omnibus Bill?

A source who is familiar with this type of legislation chimed in on what he thinks Trump's reasons were for signing the controversial bill:

It’s not an official ‘Federal Budget.’ It’s an omnibus bill… not a budget… He outsmarted them again… Congress basically screwed themselves by not passing a budget…

Per the Constitution… the president must adhere to a budget set forth by Congress and direct the expenditures as provided therein.

This is another one of those big porkulus bills, like they gave Obama for 8 years. This is not a budget...

An omnibus spending bill may have some ‘instructions’ as to how the money will be spent… but Obama ignored them. He spent the money, or didn’t spend it, however he wanted to. And Congress didn’t do a thing about it! Because they couldn’t...

I think our president observed how this happened, year after year. He is bound to realize that those ‘appropriations’ for different things in these omnibus bills… are merely ‘suggestions.’

So like Obama, President Trump can spend this money on whatever he wants to. Or… not spend it.

Planned Parenthood? What if our president decided to tell the Treasury Dept. to ‘slow-walk’ that money to Planned Parenthood… until the Senate gets off their a** and confirms his appointees?

Sanctuary cities? What if our president decided to ‘slow-walk’ that money too… until those sanctuary cities assist ICE in rounding up criminal illegal aliens?

Splodey heads? From the Dems and the Enemedia? Why yes. There would be a colorful display of splodey heads.

But what could they do about it? Hah.

Our president could just say… ‘What! Congress should’ve passed a budget.’

He continued:

Again, that is why Obama never had a budget in his presidency... Congress did continual omnibus bills and he just took the money… for 8 years… and no one seems to know where it went…

They basically gave him a trillion dollars to spend anyway he wants.

While this individual's insight on the matter is very interesting, we are not legal experts and cannot confirm if it is accurate.
