Schumer aide 'tired of all the winning' after Trump signs spending bill

BY JOHN BOWDEN - 03/24/18 11:31 AM EDT

A top aide to Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y) trolled President Trump on Friday over the passage of a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill.

Schumer's communications director Matt House tweeted Friday afternoon that he was "tired of all the winning" after Trump signed the bill into law.




House's tweet came amid furious reactions from conservative lawmakers and top Trump supporters online over the president signing the bill.

Conservatives slammed the massive price tag of the measure and criticized its lack of funding for Trump's signature plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The measure did include a major increase in the military's budget.

Funny how the amount of this bill is just about equal to the $1.4T they cut from income last year.

Essentially, they just doubled the fiscal impact of the tax gift to the 1%.
