Washington, June 5 (RHC)-- The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a $19 billion disaster relief package providing funding for natural disaster aid around the country, including $900 million for hurricane recovery in Puerto Rico.

Three Republican lawmakers had previously blocked passage of the bill during the congressional recess.  Following the House vote, Trump tweeted: “House just passed the 19.1 Billion Dollar Disaster Aid Bill.  Great, now we will get it done in the Senate!  Farmers, Puerto Rico and all will be very happy.”

However, the bill already passed in the Senate last month -- which Trump at the time tweeted about.  The tweet was removed after many users pointed this out in the comments.  The measure will now head to the president’s desk and some political observers wonder what Trump will tweet about next time.
