There was a lot more wrong with that budget than just PP. He could have vetoed the whole thing. Treat them like kids, tell them they did a crappy job and need to do it over.
He signed it and said he would never sign such a terrible bill again. Then why sign this one?
If he vetoed it, the world wouldn't end. Congress would go back, pass yet another continuing resolution to fund the government for a few more months, and write another budget bill.
