If you're celebrating this as something to bash the President with, you're part of the problem.  He accepted what Congress gave him and has forced them to own it.

So you think all that deficit spending under Obama was all the fault of the Congress?   No fault to Obama?   Come on.   Whatever happened to the idea of Presidential leadership?  Or is Trump just supposed to do whatever Congress says?  And what about Trump's campaign promise to balance the budget?   Are you saying he didn't understand how the government works, so we need to give him a pass?

If those who voted for Trump are disappointed and feel duped, it's on them for not believing what they have seen before their very eyes for decades.

Fair enougn I reluctantly voted for him more like against Hillary but at this point come midterms and his reelction my absence will be my vote.

Register yourself as a Republican and hope the primary is still being contested when it gets to Florida.
