At his private country club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump signed four executive orders to act where Congress hasn't, contending Washington's gridlock had compelled him to act as the pandemic undermined the country's economy and imperiled his November reelection hopes.
Now, Trump, who has not spoken with Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi since last year, sought to play the role of election-year saviour, with the $400 weekly assistance, as well as a deferral of payroll tax and federal student loan payments and the continuation of a freeze on some evictions during the crisis.
Democrats had said they would lower their spending demands from $3.4 trillion to $2 trillion but said the White House needed to increase their offer. Republicans have proposed a $1 trillion plan. “This is not a perfect answer - we'll be the first ones to say that,” Meadows said Friday as talks broke down. “But it is all that we can do and all the president can do within the confines of his executive power, and we're going to encourage him to do it.”
“This fake tax cut would also be a big shock to workers who thought they were getting a tax cut when it was only a delay,” said Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon. “These workers would be hit with much bigger payments down the road.”
TRUMP 2020!
I don't think he can do
He has learned from Justin Trudeau how to buy votes!
Fix your headline: he cut the pay from $600 to $400. Do better.
lol cdnpoli canada
I couldn’t give a damn what Trump does This is Canada not the USA
All lies & means NOTHING
In democracies the parliament would need to vote to authorize this kind of spending. In dictatorships all that is required is a decree from the dictator.
Well, less unemployment pay than they expected or needed and a payroll tax deferral to benefit business after their big tax cuts....
Looking to buy some votes?
Trudeau took another personal day today.
Outsmarts Pelosi and Schumer again.
Because he needs to help his people unlike our POS PM JustinTrudeau who keeps us under lockdown, kills industries and expects everyone to live on EI. There’s a reason why Canada is a dumpster fire right now and this is who is responsible...⬇️
Say goodbye to Medicare, Medicaid and social security
