By not being able to veto a congressional super-majority.
Trump was powerless in this case... he strayed from nothing.
You are an idiot.

I don't think we yet know precisely what's going on here... given omnibus bills don't necessarily need to be used to fund what is outlined (i.e. Obama was famous for doing this - passing massive omnibus bills and then spending that cash on whatever he wanted)... and some people have found some very interesting stuff in the bill too.
I'm unsure if you've been following QAnon or noticed that AG Sessions has accrued 18,500 sealed indictments that are just waiting to be opened like Christmas presents!
Perhaps President Trump rushed the bill through on purpose, hoping that nobody would notice he's allocating enormous amounts to fund witness protection and military tribunals?
