That, and I have a feeling Trump probably has some secret shit up his sleeve in case Congress denies his requests (let's be real, he definitely thought of that scenario due to dealing with these fuckers for years). Otherwise he wouldn't have said "good news" about the bill before committing this action, nor would he have redline and invoked the Impoundment act.
No. If the Congress doesn't approve President Trumps's request (they won't), then the money is disbursed after 45 days, no signature required, since the President already signed the bill into law.
And the Government would have shut down, costing millions, all for nothing, because, as you pointed out, they would have over ridden his veto.
The party responsible for this travesty is both parties in Congress. From beginning to end.

The Impoundment act delays disbursement for 45 days, with Congress deciding whether or not to agree to his request.
His options weren't good here. He made the best lemonade he could out of the lemons he was handed.

Biden doesn't enter the picture.
Bullshit. He’s framing the signing as a positive thing when in reality he was played by congress just like every other president before him.
