It never was! It is the Presidents obsession with not helping those who he thinks are going to vote against him...the Blue States, where all the people live, and which need the most help due to the shutdown of services, and thus tax revenues they need to survive!
In short, it’s Trump saying “I’m only the President of the Red States, because some people in the Blue States say bad things about Trump!” Meanwhile, the largest population centers get starved of the assistance they need in job support, rent forgiveness, state services, etc, etc.
FWIW, the Senate was ALWAYS opposed to the deal! Why is Mnuchin negotiating with Pelosi, not McConnell? Isn’t it CONGRESS who appropriates money? If McConnell and Pelosi agreed on $1 and the Senate voted 60-40, then $1 it is...fuck Trump AND Mnuchin!
But, in McConnell, Trump & Mnuchin have a backstop who doesn’t want to negotiate because he doesn’t want his prints on this lest it look bad for his re-election, so they’re doing his dirty work. Then, he pops his head out of his shell and says “Too much! Senate can’t stomach!” but Trump gets his own way eventually!
BUT, if they drag this through the election, Trump becomes a lame duck, and the Senate turns Blue, what then??? Do we have to wait until January 2021, OR WILL CONGRESS WORK FOR THE PEOPLE?
And, the whiny vlogger simply doesn’t seem to get the dynamics or the numbers!
$2,000 per month for everyone? For how long? Does he have any clue what that means?
