"SNIP......


President Trump privately expressed opposition to extending a weekly $600 boost in unemployment insurance for laid-off workers affected by the coronavirus pandemic, the Washington Post reports.

1. Of course he is.

He wants to force people to go back to work. He couldn't give less of a shit whether they get sick and die. He just wants the unemployment numbers to go down and revenue to bump up for at least a little while as we get closer to election time. If people start dropping dead and the virus spreads like wildfire, he will just blame the states.

2. trump wants to send the workers into

Hell's Fire so he can "boost his economy" that was really Pres Obama's economy.. that trump lost bc he Ignored the CV calling it a "democrat hoax" for 70 days.. that's how damn stupid he is.

3. How many of the 35-million newly unemployed will actually be called back to their jobs? Half?

I doubt it.

What happens to the 15-million-plus unemployed who suddenly don't have that $600-a-week from the Feds? I'll tell you what happens: evictions, starvation and death, that's what. And, of course, those whose jobs are gone forever will be labeled as lazy freeloaders for not being able to find a job in a job market suddenly swamped with tens of millions of people needing work.

4. It figures. trump and the repugs are ALWAYS against anything that helps rank-and-file Americans.

That party is trash.

5. He needs golf cart money?

He needs a straightjacket, we all know it, but don't tell the snowflakes!

6. His plans always been to stiff the American people

And that's always been his plan, hurt them by refusing giving us anything he can get away with . Direct stimulus checks, Medicare , Medicaid , Health care ,, and especially gutting Social Security. He'll hurt his supporters the most while lying to them claiming the opposite, again. He could care less about who dies from his failures with this virus, and wants Social Security destroyed, just watch how long before he gets asked about his plans to do just that after the election, then attack who asks him then lie some more about it , like he did before claiming he wouldn't touch those safety net programs , then did it anyway. Little trump says should ever be considered the truth. What should be asked is did he decide when he knew way in advance of this virus , he refused to do anything, and was he doing nothing to please putin because he can't pay his debts to him? How long before he's trying to lift putins oil sanctions again soon, knowing he's again attacking our elections . This looks like another well planned effort from putin , not trump.
