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.

(62,276 posts)Mitch has never entertained it.
Pelosi and the Dems of course would be all for it.

(7,820 posts)I mean, bigger stimulus is needed, but Id guess hes 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.

(25,111 posts)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.

(18,672 posts)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. Its whats in it for them. Trump didnt get to stick it to social media and the GOP cant 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.
