Big Talk: The NY Times headline says, “Trump Heads South, Leaving Washington Reeling.”

At the end of a week of staff and legal shakeups, a CNN interview with a former mistress, and a tumbling stock market, President Trump threatened to veto the $1.3 omnibus spending bill then promptly signed it and flew to Florida to play golf.

Trump is furious that the spending bill does not include enough money to pay for his promised southern border wall while ignoring the sweeping budget cuts he called for in his White House budget request.

Trump accused Democrats of abandoning the young illegal immigrants known as “Dreamers,” because there’s nothing about them in the bill, but remember, he’s the one who ended the Dream Act and threatened to deport everyone. What it’s really about is that even Trump’s own party doesn’t want to build a $25 billion wall.

Trump said he signed the bill as a matter of national security to fund the military. He threatened Congress saying, “I will never sign another bill like this again.” Conservative valkyrie Ann Coulter tweeted in response, “Yeah, because you’ll be impeached.”

Trump tweeted his veto threat just as Congress left town for a two week break and some members said go ahead, do it. Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker tweeted, Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., also egged Trump on to a veto. “Please do, Mr. President,” he tweeted. “I am just down the street and will bring you a pen. The spending levels without any offsets are grotesque, throwing all of our children under the bus. Totally irresponsible.”

Stormy Forecast: “60 Minutes” has scheduled its interview with porn actress and former Trump mistress Stormy Daniels tomorrow night and her lawyer Michael Avenatti cryptically tweeted a picture of a computer disc, suggesting they have evidence. “If “a picture is worth a thousand words,” how many words is this worth?????” he wrote.”

Avenatti said on CNN, “That DVD contains evidence substantiating the relationship. “The tweet is a warning shot” to Trump’s representatives, he said. “They better be very, very careful after Sunday night relating to what they say about my client and what spin or lies they attempt to tell the American people.”

The March: As many as half a million people are expected to gather in Washington today and many more at hundreds of locations around the country in the March for Our Lives inspired by the Parkland, Fla. school shooting. Events are scheduled in more than 800 locations around the world as the teenagers from Stoneman Douglas high school press for school safety and effective gun control.

Newsweek Magazine reported this week that in the five years since the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre in Connecticut, the number of children killed with guns in the US has surpassed the number of American soldiers killed in combat since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Kids, 7000; Soldiers, 6,929.

The latest victim is Jaelynn Willey, 16, who was shot in the head by another student Tuesday at Great Mills High School in St. Mary’s County, Md. She died in the hospital late Thursday.

Bumped: Attorney Gen. Jeff Sessions announced yesterday that he plans to ban rifle “bump stocks” through regulation rather than waiting for Congress to pass a law. Bump stocks convert a semi-automatic rifle to full-auto. They were used by the shooter in the Las Vegas massacre.

Mustered Out: President Trump issued an order yesterday that would severely limit, but not quite eliminate, the ability of transgender people to serve in the military. The order says a member of the military who may require substantial medical treatment “presents considerable risk to military effectiveness and lethality.”

The Obit Page: H. Wayne Huizinga, the Florida entrepreneur who founded three Fortune 500 companies and even brought professional hockey to south Florida, has died at age 80.

Huizinga founded Waste Management, Blockbuster, and AutoNation. He owned the Miami Dolphins (football), the Florida Panthers (hockey), and the Florida Marlins (baseball).

Casual Encounters: The classified ad site Craigslist this week removed its “personals” section after Congress passed a bill to fight sex trafficking. One of the suspicious categories was “strictly platonic,” which became a screen for prostitution.

If you are looking for “casual encounters,” “missed connections,” or “misc romance,” look elsewhere.
