Jesse Watters trashes Trump's 'huge defeat' on omnibus spending bill

Fox News host Jesse Watters sharply criticized President Trump after the signing of an omnibus spending bill Friday that failed to include funding for Trump's proposed border wall, among other priorities.
During a discussion on Fox News Channel's "The Five" after Trump signed the bill, Watters said that the administration gave up too much in order to increase military spending.
"Well, I know one thing. Mexico's not going to pay for the wall, and neither will we. Because it says there's only going to be $1.6 billion for the wall, and you can't even use the new concrete prototypes that [Trump] surveyed. And it's only supposed to be for 93 miles. The border is 3,000 miles, and the only fencing that is going to be done is backup fencing and repairs."
“This was a huge defeat for the president on a signature issue. It’s really really bad. There’s no way to spin it," he said. “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer gets all the money he wants for a tunnel… and there’s no border wall funding.â€
