Trump also took to Twitter on Monday to ridicule Sen. Ben Sasse, calling him a “RINO” — a Republican in name only — after the Nebraska Republican called Trump’s use of executive orders “unconstitutional slop.”
In Virginia, secretary of finance Aubrey Layne said that timing of the distribution of funds could be an issue. He noted FEMA often takes several months to reimburse emergency costs due to a hurricane, but have reimbursed personal protective equipment-related costs in several weeks. The $44 billion that the Trump administration has set aside for the unemployment aid would run out in five or six weeks, Stettner added.
“If I did not have , I probably would not have been able to make it the past two months,” said Rosa Howell-Thornhill, 62, a freelance audio technician from South Orange, New Jersey, who has seen work opportunities dry up.In Ohio, the benefit might not take effect for weeks as officials sort out guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor for implementing it, said Dan Tierney, a spokesman for Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican.
“We realize that some of you want to use those funds for other things,” said Mnuchin, according to audio of the call obtained by The Associated Press. “And as part of legislation, if you do use those funds for UI, we will agree to make you whole.” Democratic governors said Trump was attempting to skate around the difficult work of negotiating — something the president as a candidate touted as a natural skill from his real estate career.
Trump is trying to help people, Democrats won’t help him help people, and yet he’s the asshole? Y’all are legit crazy
The Associated Press will always hate whatever Trump does. That’s the only sure thing nowadays.
AshMobleyW Trump should just say he wants to give us 300 and let it be, stop acting like these states can afford this, he said 400 just bc it sounds better, and he know some people will just hear 400, when reality, its 300.
No. Next stupid question.
DBChirpy power of the purse sits with Congress.
AshMobleyW Every Governor except GavinNewsom
I’m sure GovInslee is scrambling seeing how he allowed $650M of unemployment money to go missing due to a foreign scam
Response: Dont, you don’t even know if these EOs are legal yet! Just because Trump says so doesn’t fly!
Trump is a mess.
I assure you......they are not straining. This is a no brainer!
Time to open states up and get people back to work
Why? It’s a worthless EO.
The biggest daily executive order Trump makes is what shade of face bronzer to wear.
This shit just gets worse and worse.
Oh no, Trump's trying to help people, he must be horrible.
They have no obligation to do this. Headline is bull urine. Do better.
Unconstitutional orders will not happen. massmurdererswampdonnie
DonaldTrump at his best: doing inexplicably stupid things to ruin the country
Just how are these “ governors” going to implement this executive order when Congress holds the purse strings and no agreement has been made when SenateGOP left town. Trump has no money to do this. TrumpFailure
Nice try liars.
I can't speak for other states but NJ governor is still sitting on 2 billion of the original Cares aid + just signed legislation w/o taxpayer vote to borrow another 9.9 billion, to be repaid thru sales tax & real estate tax assessment. So yep, NJ can come up with its $100 share.
It REALLY would be nice if Don would get it through his narcissistic head that America is made up of RED & BLUE states and should each be treated the same!!! This putting one against the other is childish and petty!!!
imagine that!!
_Politics It's funny how when republicans demand something, they expect states do as they command. But when a Democrat does it they jump up and down and claim states rights.
Wtf. Boot that back to the GOPComplicitTraitors. DoYourJob
Ever notice trump acts like it’s his money being spent of anything he didn’t think of first?
FigureItOut 10thAmendent
We all love Pompeo,Bannon,Rubio, Cotton ! The CCP is the world ’s largest terrorist organization and rogue regime. It is also a behind-the-scenes supporter of other terrorist org . A global village without the CCP is more peaceful and happy! Let's all take down CCP. Free China!
When are Republicans letting there balls hang and telling DONALD IT'S OVER HE KILLING AMERICANS, ELDERLY, KIDS, JUST TO GIVE HIM 4 YEARS?
Is the Executive Order even constitutional? Separation of Powers 🤔
It’s be great if governors allowed their citizens to go back to work and this wouldn’t be an issue
Why? He has no legal rights to force such a thing.
Stupid governors...Trump doesn’t have the authority!
where there's a will there's a way
In other words...trump just threw some chum in the water to distract from his failure Neither he nor the other republicans have an actual plan to help America The democrats actually passed legislation back in May
So Trump can now blame Governors.... Again. Not rocket science
They can if they get their act together.
Of course they don’t know how because they’re hairbrained idea. More than that it’s illegal.
trump EA is just like his business: feign work and make someone else pay for it.
