WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has signed into law legislation funding the government through the end of September, ending the threat of a partial government shutdown and capping off a struggle in Congress that deeply divided Democrats.

"I don’t see it at all. I think this country is going to boom," Trump said. "But as I said, I can do it the easy way or the hard way. The hard way to do it is exactly what I'm doing. But the results are going to be 20 times greater." "Remember: Trump is always right," he added.

The Senate passed the bill 54-46 on Friday. The Democrats who voted to pass the funding bill were Schumer and Sens. John Fetterman (D-PA), Angus King (I-VT), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Gary Peters (D-MI), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).
