The fact that trump is refusing to sign the housing bill today is a good sign [View all]

It will still become law and he won't be able to do a victory lap. But even more importantly, he is doing it because he can't get his R controlled congress to pass the SAVE ACT, He explicitly admitted that in his statement this morning.

So, let's see. Bill enacted? Check. No credit to trump? Check. No dangerous SAVE Act? Check.

Trifecta!
