Donald Trump just loves to make promises. When he breaks them, he tries to spin the reversal as a victory for him and his supporters, but it would appear many of them are starting to catch on to his underhanded tactics.
Wednesday, the GOP-controlled House of Representatives passed a budget deal which keeps the federal government running until September. But that continuing resolution included not a dime for Trump’s promised wall on the border with Mexico.
On the other hand, items in the budget which Trump had sworn he would cut–for Planned Parenthood, Obamacare subsidies, the EPA–were left intact. And that made conservatives furious. It also put them in the mood to start assigning blame to both Trump and the GOP. Many took their frustrations to Twitter and lambasted the Republicans and their leader, the alleged president:
Congress spends a billion dollars on left-handed smoke shifters for snipe hunts. @SpeakerRyan denied Trump wall funding out of spite.

@realDonaldTrump How can there be funding for border wall security in the Middle East in the budget, but none for here?
