Hours after the Senate passed a major $1.3 trillion spending bill, President Donald Trump says he might not sign it.

In a tweet Friday morning, Trump said he might veto the bill and accused the Democrats of deserting DACA recipients.

And he added that his promised border wall "is not fully funded."

Trump's comments come after Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney told reporters Trump was looking forward to signing the bill.

If Trump doesn't sign it by midnight Friday, the government will shut down.
