WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump threw the massive spending bill into doubt Friday, saying he was "considering" a veto of the $1.3 trillion plan over concerns about young "Dreamer" immigrants and border wall money. Hours before funding for the government expires, Trump said on Twitter that he was weighing a veto "based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded." The tweet was at odds with comments Thursday by Trump's supporters.
