President Trump didn't really have anything to do with the Mission Act though. It passed both the House and the Senate with an overwhelming supermajority, so the President couldn't have stopped it even if he wanted to. Signing the bill was an expedient formality that benefitted him politically. He had no hand in writing it. He took no action to fight on behalf of veterans. All he did with regard to the Mission Act was to sign a bill that was already going to become law no matter what he did. How does that tell you anything about his character?
An action that does tell you something about his character is that he told the American people that Mexico would pay for the wall but then stole 3.6 Billion dollars from the military to pay for it instead.
Another indication of his character with regard to the military is the scores of Retired military leaders that renounced him.
Using your logic, Obama had little or nothing to do with getting your party's beloved Obamacare passed.....after all, it passed congress and he merely signed it into law, huh? Your problem is that you are attempting spin despite your ignorance of Trump's part in getting the Mission Act passed. While many including members of congress and President Trump deserve credit for getting the Mission Act across the finish line. he campaigned hard for meaningful reform of the VA including the Mission Act . And once again, Trump never claimed that Mexico was simply going to write a check for the cost of the Border Wall. They are in fact paying for it. And the funds that you bleat that he stole from the military were more then replaced with additional funding for the military. Your real objection to the wall is that you favor mass illegal immigration for the sake of your party ultimately using it to change the voting demographics in their favor.
