He had no choice.

The only way to keep these inflated indexes going is to spend more. The indexes have been artificially propped up for decades now due to an accounting trick. The only way to feed the machine is to keep growing and increase spending.

Enforcing tariffs and carrying a big stick cannot simply be accomplished by being defensive given our track record. After 2008 the United States assumed all of the bad collateralized debt from China (and elsewhere) in order to avoid a complete meltdown/civil war. Now the yield curves are flattening and showing signs of inversion. The only way to prevent a Weimar situation at this point and keep the open air casino going is to over spend and continue to grow. Spending on military is the only logical way to "keep the American people safe," and enforce protectionist strategy.

It is likely we will soon be at war in order to acquire more capital to collateralize our debt and spending. I have no doubt Trump didn't want to sign this bill, but he's actually correct in saying that to keep America safe he had to do it. In order to keep his job he and accomplish the basic aspects of his protectionist platform, the spending had to take place, otherwise everything would free fall regardless of whether a wall is built or not. That's what this spending bill was; a ticket to war.
