I have to agree that he wouldn’t do this unless they would override.

But he should have put that to the test.
That would be going out with a bang.

This is going out with a whimper.

He makes deals. Are you just finding this out?

Blame the GOP Congress and the Dem House. They got voted in too.

No, not awful. There is a declas coming that will make a large section of both chambers run for the hills.

There’s not going to be a porkulus event.

Did you read all. I can’t tell...

snip~
In a statement, Trump said that Congress on Monday would vote on a separate bill to “increase payments to individuals from $600 to $2,000.”

The bill creates a new $300 weekly unemployment supplement and replenishes a forgivable loan program for small businesses. It also creates new criminal penalties including prison time for violating copyright laws with online streaming.

You’re avoiding the point so desperately...

Unless he can turn around the election President Trump is going out with a whimper.
It’s tragic to see it happen.

What DC (’deep state’, globalists, whatever) has perpetrated on Donald Trump is a crime.
And they’d do it to any of us.

This is RIDICULOUS. Mnuchin made Trump look indecisive. He needs to be FIRED for the second term.

Hopefully Trump's second term will have far better hires. I'm resigned to the fact that his second term will begin in January 2025, however.

I’ve said the same thing. It’s over. No court at any level will even hear the cases. And with the 2 Unhinged Lawyers; can’t say I blame them. One promising kraken every damn day & the other falsely accusing Pence of being a traitor! Really Mr President these were the best lawyers you could find?!?
Bottom line the criminals will not let Trump win, even tho he did win. The uniparty simply will deny Trump the win.
It’s over.

He can’t snap his fingers and overturn the election. He’s doing all he can.

My God he’s fighting to the death and you join the whimper chorus?

The ‘redlined’ items may be impounded for 45 days.
Unless both Houses of Congress agree to drop the ‘redlined’ items that money must then be spent.

There will be porkulus.

You forgot tax hikes and gun control.

Sad thing is, it will only get worse.

The ultimate plan is to stop the steal and end the lockdown.

Stimuluses extend the misery. End it and let the People resume their lives, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

So now both parties look like crap to the American people by denying them the $2,000 Trump thought they deserved because of the China virus.

You haven’t seen what is final. The news media is gaslighting you.

Follow the 24 hour rule. It works.

The way I see it, his stall cost him political capital and was seen as fumble as he had already agreed to the bill.

Now you’re just being an idiot.
The “his veto would have been overridden” was reasonable.
But your “he shouldn’t fight” is execrable.
He’s nothing to lose by fighting to the end.
