Trump's erratic tweets on economic relief -- over several hours -- leave strategy unclear
President Trump called on Congress to approve federal economic relief late Tuesday night mere hours after publicly terminating negotiations with Democrats, posting tweets that appeared to contradict his own declarations from earlier the same day.
He continued pushing for more stimulus on Wednesday as aides scrambled to adjust to his ever-changing directives.
Trump had instructed Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday afternoon to abandon bipartisan talks over a stimulus package, complaining that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was making unreasonable demands in negotiations. “I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election,” the president said.
About seven hours later, Trump appeared to reverse himself in a new string of tweets.
