Smerconish crowing on CNN about how great a play Trump made.

[Kingofalldems]

Re the $2000 checks he suddenly wants.

Smerconish is King of the both siders.

1. To what end? What does this get Trump?

This is third level moron stuff. Why on earth didn't you do the payout before the election?
It’s not your money. Hell, your debt record is already a disaster. Mitch convinced you not to because he wanted to scorch the earth. Like a moron you fell for it. Now just when everyone is breathing a sigh of relief you pull this crap? Good grief.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Why is he doing this? He doesn't care about the American people at all.

Is he trying to hurt McConnell and the other GOPers?

[underpants]

8. I don't think Trump thinks things out like that

He’s grandstanding and it just turned out to screw Mitch because Pelosi’s calling for a vote on it.

[Irish_Dem]

12. I wouldn't be surprised if he did it to say FU to Mitch on purpose. Settling scores.

Like The Godfather movie.

[lame54]

21. He never knew he could use compassion as a weapon

[Irish_Dem]

22. He has weaponized everything else. It is the only way he sees the world.

He tries to make money or weaponize everything on the planet.

15. Hoping to get more people on his side to overturn the election. n/t

[Irish_Dem]

19. That makes sense, he is still trying to overturn the election. nt

[mucifer]

16. he wants people to love him

[Irish_Dem]

20. God that is nauseating to think about. But yep he wants his fantasy adoration. nt

[JI7]

18. He is desperate and thinks it will get people to support overturning the election

[Irish_Dem]

25. This seems to be the prevailing sentiment.

I agree, and also think he is giving Mitch and the GOP a FU.

2. Smerconish is a jackass

[Funtatlaguy]

9. He is Captain 👨‍✈️ Obvious. Not a real Einstein.

[still_one]

10. Yup

[gratuitous]

3. Where's President Blister been for the past nine months?

The hard work done, and like a blister, Trump comes sailing in to play Captain Hindsight and demand moar monee! It's a transparent, cynical ploy that fools only the most credulous observers. What's that fellow's name? Smerconish? Yep, top kick in the Credulous Brigade.

[Kingofalldems]

5. Cuomo brought it up and Smerconish completely disregarded.

Then reiterated how great Trump was.

[relayerbob]

6. He is doing this to fuck over the Georgia election

Just to spite Kemp and Raffensperger.

[mucifer]

17. the two ef wad senators could vote for the $2000 to try to win Georgia

That's my thought

[relayerbob]

23. That just makes it look like they gave in to Ossoff and Warnock

[David__77]

7. In the context of control of the Republican Party, it is likely smart.

He is putting distance between himself and those like McConnell who have moved against him in recent days. "Fiscal conservatives" expressing concern about the deficit will not do well against Trump with many Republican voters on this particular issue.

[lindysalsagal]

11. Smug little media where. Thinks he's quite clever

Straddling the line as if the gop were equal to the dems.

[rso]

13. Smerconish

Smerconish pretends to be non-partisan, but he can’t help demonstrating his pro-Republican leanings.

[PCIntern]

14. He started in Philly

Real Northeast Philly jerkoff. I should know...it’s my neighborhood of origin

[Hoyt]

24. So what is Smer supposed to say, "$600 is enough." trump threw $2000 out

before the General election. He’s just being stupid, knowing it won’t go any further.
