President Donald Trump is giving both Democrats and Republicans a headache on Tuesday after the shocking announcement on Twitter that he will not sign the COVID-19 relief bill negotiated in the Senate and House for months. He had been expected to sign the bipartisan deal this week.
*****
The president asks that the bill be reworked in order to give each American a $2,000 stimulus check instead of the $600 that was negotiated. Democrats had called for more money, but Republicans pushed back on the higher amount.
*****
"The $900 billion package provides hardworking taxpayers with only $600 each in relief payments and not enough money is given to small businesses," Trump said.
"Congress found plenty of money for foreign countries, lobbyists and special interests, while sending the bare minimum to the American people who needed it wasn't their fault," Trump said, though the funding he cites was largely part of the spending bill, not the relief bill. "It was China's fault, not their fault. I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000, or $4,000 for a couple."

Great news!
He ought to have a press conference and enumerate the incredible pork in this atrocity, the way Rush did today.
Keep in mind this is your great grandchildren’s money they are spending.
.....” Dependents don’t pay bills. They should get “0”.....
Exactly.....I wanted to throw up reading about 19 yr old kids living at home socking away thousands but they still got the last covid!
Since it looks like he is going to lose office this is the time to be a a fiscal hawk and worry about the deficit. he needs to only worry about America, the people and our future.
that way they can hire lots and lots of rat statist who can suck all the money down as they actually help the poor and needy very little.
Good job Trump!
THERE IS NO INCREASE IN THE YEAR-ON-YEAR DEATH RATE THIS YEAR VS ANY PREVIOUS YEAR.
Exactly
7 to 8,000 ppl die every day in the USA
Doesn’t change much each year.
Covid death rates are inflated, are only about 7% of what is claimed.

Trump listed a bunch of the pork etc in a video from the White House today.
B-but I thought Orange Man Bad was gone and wasn’t relevant anymore? How can he deny those poor, starving terror states?
We thought about it for a long time, “Endeavor to persevere.” And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.
Somebody listened to Rush on Tuesday...
I said Trump should demand $2000 or more for every citizen in October and if he had he would have earned the greed vote and had more than enough votes to beat even the Dominion cheat.
YES !!!
POTUS ought pocket veto and then arrest them at home.
“Dependents don’t pay bills.”
No, they make them even bigger.
L
VETO THIS CRAP!!
Prayers in all of this: if it is Your Perfect Will, Father God, let only those who should have the funds that our duly-elected President, President Trump—again for 4 more years in Your mercy and grace—has demanded for us, receive those funds.
If it is not Your Will, Lord, let it be that every person in Congress who signed on to this current bill, lose their positions and rightly endure financial hardship like those they have harmed. Amen.
Trump called out $3.3B in pork. He should remind taxpayers that the last stimulus check gave the taxpayers $0.20 per day while each member of congress took home over $450 per day.
