tRump losing support over his taking away that $600 UI benefit [View all]

Purely anecdotal, but my wife has heard from a couple of local tRump humpers that they will not be voting for him this Nov. The reason: they are on unemployment and will be directly affected if the weekly Fed benefit is cut. It’s clear tRump wants it cut, and drastically.

The straw that broke the camel’s back. As usual with Rs, it’s only a problem once they are directly affected.
