It was veto proof. There was literally nothing he could do. So he used a law to sign the bill with conditions which force congress to basically double down on screwing the American people or to amend things and go, “oh, no, we didn’t really mean that,” and look super weak.

Congress shit on Trump, but he took the shit from his suit coat and smeared it all over their faces.

I've heard otherwise via the pocket veto if he'd held out by just not signing it right up until the end of the current congressional session.

Clock running out may well have taken care of it for him.
