President Trump spoke with Joe St. George, National Political Editor & Washington Correspondent for Scripps, and he talked about the prospects of another stimulus package.
Here is a transcript of the conversation... Joe St. George: I have a lot of viewers in Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, who are still struggling economically, sir. They spent all of that first stimulus check, are you going to get them a second stimulus check?
President Trump: Yeah, we are. We are. Look we had this—
Joe St. George: When? When are you going to get it?
President Trump: We had this going better than anybody’s ever seen before. We had the best job numbers, the best economics, the best economy we’ve ever had, and then we had the virus come in from China. Now we’re rebuilding it again. We will be doing another stimulus package. It’ll be very good, it’ll be very generous, and people— Joe St. George: How much? People want to know.
President Trump: You’ll find out about it. You’ll find out.
Joe St. George: When are you going to do it? When are you going to announce it?
President Trump: I think over the next, I think it’s going to be bi-partisan, I think it’s going to be over the couple of weeks, probably.

This is going to be the new normal - government printing money and passing it out like candy everytime something goes even the slightest bit wrong - I guarantee it, this will not end anytime soon.
This has the odor of attempting to buy an election. The economy is growing, let it.
Ditto.
Ah generosity. It is easy to be generous with other people’s money.
Just how generous?
People are still losing their jobs, like I did last week.
“People are still losing their jobs, like I did last week.”
Sorry to hear that. Is it permanent? Or just an adjustment for now?
This is Fauci’s fault.
“Please Mr. President, no mas.”
But I need to set up a new facemask budget.
I’m unemployed and I don’t!
I’m the ant not the grasshopper!
Sorry to hear that, I wish you the best. In my area is seems like uneployment pay has become the lottery. Everone and thier pets seem to have qualified for it.
Just stop.
