Trump still doesn't know how bills are passed.

Trump deletes tweet after flubbing congressional procedure after disaster relief bill passes in the House


President Donald Trump mistakenly said in a now-deleted tweet that a bill, which is headed to his desk for him to sign, was scheduled for a Senate vote.

"House just passed the 19.1 Billion Dollar Disaster Aid Bill," Trump said in a tweet on Monday. "Great, now we will get it done in the Senate! Farmers, Puerto Rico and all will be very happy."

The tweet has since been deleted and was not replaced by another at the time of this writing.

The $19.1 billion disaster aid package was approved by the House in a 354-58 vote on Monday. Senate lawmakers already passed the bill in an 85-8 vote on May 23.


The bill now heads to Trump's desk for him to sign. He has signaled support for the bill, according to NPR.

and/or total lack of attention/interest than lack of knowledge (although that is undoubtably true too)

I hope those who kept him in office get the karma they so richly deserve in spades. I despise republicans.

He spells something wrong - deletes it
He also still blocks people. He was told that was against the law as well!
