The President actually tweeted two incompatible positions this morning. Guess they picked the one they wanted.

Paul Ryan, in his press conference this morning[1], said that the President "has concerns about the Domestic FISA law". [1] - https://youtu.be/xUyKCpRl68E?t=3448 https://youtu.be/xUyKCpRl68E?t=3448

His opposition to this bill is based on nonsense, but it would be wonderfully ironic if he used it as the basis for veto.

  He'd never veto anything, he'd have to read the bill to veto it.

    You seem to have been downvoted, possibly for how quippy your comment is, but there's some indication that this reasoning isn't far off. Earlier this week Trump made clear during his televised immigration policy meeting that he would sign anything Congress actually sent him, which seems like a very odd position to take when you consider that immigration was Trump's signature campaign issue.

      It's easy to say "I'll sign anything you send me" if you're certain they will be unable to send anything. It is risky, sure, because the unexpected can happen. The next day he also gave a summary of the meeting that was very different from what attendees thought. The meeting was a made-for-TV moment, so you should take it in with lots of salt.

        The day Trump starts vetoing bills sent to his desk is the day 25th Amendment proceedings hit full stride.

        Can you explain? (I don't mean the 25th Amendment.)

        I believe parent post means that Republicans will stop protecting Trump the instant Trump decides not to pass their legislation, since they have control of Congress, and Mike Pence is an establishment dream president.

        That seems facile. I don't believe it. I guess we'll see.

He met with Rand Paul last night who is the staunchest opposition to this bill.
