One being a “wouldn’t it be nice” category that includes such feckless ideas like having the exec branch research how to do anything about evictions, and the deferral of payroll taxes as some kind of fix rather than what it is - a questionable punt on the whole matter.

And the other is the especially unlawful kind like the pResident over-extending his powers to allocate $400 to citizens without an act of Congress.

Basically, the only thing he did with any force was forgive student loan debt interest through a law pursued by Clinton in 1993 and voted into law by Congress with Biden voting for it and Gore casting the deciding vote. Ha!

This is a very rough paraphrasing without the benefit of rewinding, so catch the segment as it was a rather plain laying-out of tRump’s bs from over the weekend.
