Trump made a mistake by claiming this bill. The President doesn’t write bills. Congress does. Also the authors of every bill should be forced to sign said bill. This one action alone would stop bad actors from adding random clauses to bills that are deceitful, wasteful, or malicious. What the admin should do is stop defending the bill because it has stuff in it they never said to add. Point out this fact and reject the bill. Actually say “It’s not my bill. I didn’t ask for “X” to be inserted.” Get a new bill. Allow congress to read it before trying to push it through.
