Trump has blown it!
The latest Congress spending bill that just passed the House, will be the last one that Trump will oversee with both houses under the control of the GOP, as the Dems are widely expected to win back Congress in November. This means that Trump will effectively be a lame duck President within 8 months.
After November, it will be practically impossible for Trump to do anything of importance, so this bill was really his last chance to mobilise his base and push the GOP and Dems to give him what he had campaigned on. But he blew it!
Instead, rather than demanding his wall and an end to chain migration, he deflected away towards military spending and what looks like an increasingly Neocon foreign policy.
As for the wall, all he managed to get was funding for a few prototypes ("wall porn" if you like) and 100 miles of the wall, most of which is just for repairing existing sections. The border by the way is around 1,900 miles long -- do the maths!

Out of the $1.3 trillion earmarked in the bill, Trump had asked for $25 billion for his border wall. But in the final deal, all he got was a measly $1.6 billion for border security. Now, that's a slap in the face with a wet fish, and surprisingly Trump took it like a little, simpering bitch.
Meanwhile $700 billion went to the military. This is approximately 437 times more than is being spent on Trump's ever shrinking wall, even though building the wall was the main promise he was elected on.
The main effect of all this is clear: it will depress Trump's voter base, who care much more about immigration and changing demographics than Bush-era-style Neocon foreign adventures.
This will make many of them stay at home in November, potentially handing the Dems not only Congress but also the Senate. This will also ensure that Trump will be defeated by whoever the Dems pit against him in the 2020 election, as he will be an embarrassing lame duck by then.
After that, start saying goodbye to the 1st and 2nd Amendments, and then look forward to the Californication of America, as a prelude to its South Africanization, along with total economic collapse as the US government succumbs to the massive government debt it has built up to fight pointless wars against sand and rocks around the World.
