President Donald Trump, in a stunning Tuesday night tweet, called the $900 billion Covid relief bill passed by Congress an unsuitable “disgrace” and urged lawmakers to make a number of changes to the measure, including bigger direct payments to individuals and families.
Trump also suggested that his administration might be the “next administration,” despite his loss to President-elect Joe Biden. The relief legislation passed by Congress Monday was negotiated in part by a senior Trump administration official, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

Easy to do. Pay American taxpayers ONLY
ITS THEIR MONEY. Drop all the other handouts to every country, person, organization or payback for assistance given to the fraud election win. See how easy it is. Just say no!

First, not one PENNY going outside the USA. Second, NOTHING to the huge leftist disasters like NYC, etc for their massive incompetence in spending.
Veto it, President Trump.

Give "the people" the $2000.00 and tell the college kids to pay their OWN debt.

He also laid out the fraud case; he tweeted it but finally made a case to the nation. Unfortunately, he didn't shed any light on any cards he may have up his sleeve.
Which if he has any, would probably defeat the purpose, I guess.

How can you not love this brilliant President? He knew the congress was busily constructing the exact bill he'd promised not to sign. As the old cruelty joke used to go, ''It wouldn't have lived anyway, it's eyes were too far apart.'' Of course the House knew it wouldn't pass; that is the exact formula they expected. That way they can blame Trump that the hated and deplorable Americans won't get one time. (I'm trying to find Ryan Saavedra's take on Daily Wire about what President Trump actually said.)

Hey dems how did you like your socialism this year? Gov't telling us who is "essential"(I think we are ALL essential). Which businesses can flourish while others fail. (depending on if you voted for them). Now you get $600 of your own money while they send 700 Billion of YOUR money to other countries. THIS is socialism. Hope you love it. You support it. You don't really think they care about you do you?

A "stunning" tweet, CNBC? No, the only acceptable response to this disgusting act of Congressional malfeasance. Only weak-minded fools and despicable Marxist cretins ( I know, I repeat...) could believe that the wildly popular, successful and wily Donald J. Trump lost a legitimate election by the American public to a dementia-riddled career weasel and his low-rent fellow travelers. The Left's whole paradigm has repeatedly been SO discredited by history, practical experience and common sense... the only devices they have left are their mastery of cheating, lying, blackmail, intimidation, treason and murder. I have finally become convinced they are NOT (as commonly suggested by our more tolerant friends) just mistaken souls in need of direction... they are sick, unhappy puppies, with soulless lives and hair-trigger rage and mayhem in their hearts. What I find stunning, if anything, is President Trump's display of level-headed calm in the current situation... if, as I believe is true, he loves this country, he must be agonizing, KNOWING he is watching it being gleefully butchered and dismembered before our eyes. Absent his restraint, I am sure he would rather be doing a full-on George Patton on these people, kicking a__ and taking names NOW!
