Giving every American 1000 dollars and the fed giving zero interest rates loans to small businesses. Even agreeing to Nancy Pelosis bill out of the house. Even though the rest of the response was botched. I mean I will be afraid if his approval rating starts to go up after this.

(24,930 posts)1. Trump is only NOW starting to do a (minimally) responsible job as President
2. This all isn't over by a long shot and it's not going to be over in April either
Let's make sure that people just don't decide that we need to pin a medal on him once this thing blows over (he will expect everybody to kiss his *ss) because he sure as hell won't ever deserve it. And there shouldn't be any way for him to spin dry his inaction and other blunders.

It is important we all do our part to get the economy going before November 2020.

(6,913 posts)food stamps, gives some people two weeks paid sick leave, says free Coronavirus tests (not treatment). They are still negotiating money for big business (lots and lots of bailout) and individuals (a pittance, if anything.) Its all really designed to funnel money to big donors, not to you.

(7,419 posts)He hasn't given us a damn thing but headaches. The Democratic majority in the House rightly initiated this much needed financial aide that the Republican controlled Senate stalls, objects, amends and waters down the bill.
Fuck Trump.

(1,206 posts)and a great deal of his base will very quickly become dependent on a government that will go out of it's way to make sure Wall Street and large corporations make it through but will do very little for them.
The only thing they will notice (after a couple of weeks of chest thumping fake 'Rugged Individualism') is that they can't feed themselves and they will turn on Dear Leader - $1000 will be just a drop in a quite empty bucket eight weeks from now.
Socialism will begin looking pretty good then.
