29 Days Left In His Presidency & Trump Turns Into A Democrat....

Wants a $2000.00 stimulus check $1400.00 more than Mitch & the Repugs want.

Boy - Trump is full of surprises!!!! (sarcasm)

Looks like Pelosi and Schumer will oblige him.

This ought to put Mitch and Company in a good mood.

They know what he's trying to do.

The Georgia Repugs will be the ones not voting.

Mitch has never entertained it.

Pelosi and the Dems of course would be all for it.

I mean, bigger stimulus is needed, but I’d guess he’s just a) trying to buy the love he thinks people should be giving him and b) trying to get back at the Republicans who have finally decided in the last week to accept that Trump lost.

That said... if we can use this to get something better done- a stand-alone direct payment add-on maybe?- we should.

something about Section 250(?) concerning social media is the "key" for this, which will not fly.

Also I heard him say this amount will initially be the last, and there will be no need for Biden's administration to ask for more, which is bullshit.

He has no intention of signing any bill. He thinks this will garner him sympathy. Fuck him. Neither the GOP or Trump want to give Americans a dime. It’s what’s in it for them. Trump didn’t get to stick it to social media and the GOP can’t stand the thought of using our taxes for anything other than securing their power and lining their own pockets. This behavior is exactly why revolutions happen.

He'll let the clock run out, and dump COVID relief on Biden and the new Congress.
