You're confused on what a pocket veto is. They have to stay in session all 10 days, if they adjourn at all during the 10 day session the bill dies.
Letting it go to the end of the 10 days would have been better. Is rather not have my name on something as acceptance. The mental gymnastics lately here to support this action are absurd, we all know the bill is shit Trump's name shouldn't be on it in any sorry of approving manner.
That doesn't work because congress found a way to NEVER ADJOURN! They haven't during the entire Trump presidency. They just let some low level simp do a roll call while everyone else is chilling at home. Trump literally had no alternative and he did the best he could.
Are you saying that he should have given up? To veto would have been to give up, to actually cave. At least he's fighting back, even if it doesn't meet your approval. It's not "mental gymnastics", it's actual thought and reasoning.
Trump isn't an idealist, he's a pragmatist. Don't pretend that he's in a position that's strong enough to live up to your ideals in this scenario. There's more at stake than your sense of pride, and his.

Then what could he have done better?
