@PeterAlexander : Is it possible that your impulse to put a positive things on things might be giving Americans a false sense of hope?

TRUMP: No, I don't think so ... such a lovely question ... I feel good about it. Just a feeling. I'm a smart guy.



PETER ALEXANDER: What do you say to Americans watching right now who are scared?

TRUMP: I say that you are a terrible reporter. That is what I say. I think you had a nasty question.

Senate bill introduced for Coronavirus relief. Here are some early details

The bill includes cash payments of as much as $1,200 per person and $2,400 per married couple. Individuals with an adjusted gross income of less than $75,000, and $150,000 for joint filers, would receive the full payment. People earning over that amount would see their payments reduced by $5 for each $100 in income over that amount. The benefit completely phases out for individuals earning over $99,000 and married couples making more than $198,000.
