President Donald Trump on Saturday announced he would move forward with multiple executive actions designed to provide relief to millions of financially struggling Americans after talks between his aides and Democratic leaders on a new pandemic relief package broke down this week.
The president’s decision to do an end run around Congress underscores the deep tensions between Democratic leaders and the White House as the United States has failed to tame the coronavirus pandemic, leading to a surge in cases and economic devastation just months before the presidential election. Pelosi and Schumer said Friday that they were willing to cut down their ask by $1 trillion if the White House increased their offer by $1 trillion, a move administration officials rejected.
The president said his directive to extend a moratorium on evictions would include financial assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for struggling renters and homeowners. Trump's directive on student loans would allow borrowers to defer payments and interest until the end of the year, a date Trump appeared willing to consider extending as well.
Trump also railed against Democrats over their demands for a vote-by-mail provision in the now-stalled relief bill talks.
This clearly shows Trump has no ability to negotiate. His executive actions are his directives sent out from the CEO's office in his company. He is definitely not Presidential material.
$hi+wi+
There is no relief in what he is doing. Maybe he should address the real problem- Covid. Rapid reliable tests, and mask wearing. People will be back to work quickly that way.
Larry Kudlow is on TV , he seems out of his league and uninformed
What dump proposes is unworkable and is ineffective It doesn’t help folks that need help now
Politico you might mention this is another con by the big yella con.
Falsely interpreted event. Media, report responsibly. 1out of 4 and none are legal. A bandaided approach and a disaster.
Alfred E Newman face on phony pretend to do nothing sociopath. Don't hold breath to see any result of his signing anything Completely useless
He’s thinking he is a dictator again.
They broke it down intentionally so he could do this. When are you in the media going to get who Trump is?
Executive order to cut unemployment by £200 and defund Social Security.. Then a health bill he will be calling Trumpbama Care & lastly an anti Slavery Bill called the Emancipation Proclamation will giving liberty to all men except Kanye as he was only recently purchased for 2 mil
realDonaldTrump, actions will only create more hardships to Americans, states, Medicare/Medicaid and social security. Those retired and collecting SS, might lose it! The payroll tax deferment will simply kick the can, with a large payment owed by taxpayers later. This is a scam!
Hail Caesar
Perfect and brilliant!!
Do better . Get a new Twitter person - he cut benefits, offering less than that in the house proposal. How the hell is that a relief”. There is a limit to being incompetent.
Nothing achieved. The failure continues. Trump’s destroying the nation.
Your article states that negotiations failed when neither Dems or WH would offer compromise. 1 paragraph later, you explain that Dems offered to reduce bill by $1 trillion, but WH didn’t budge... WTF? Be a better and more accurate, precise writer. Awful.
Is it just me I just want to slap this MF!
Trump destroys negotiations
So... Who's gonna tell him Congress controls spending?
Hmm? Trump is on the phone with Putin a lot, right? Didn’t Putin turn an elected Office into a dictatorship? Is Putin giving Trump tips on how to avoid getting swept in November?
Please report this accurately, he cut the payroll tax which negatively impacts our Medicare and Social Security benefits. He also reduced unemployment subsidies. Not seeing this as economic relief!
Change your headline!! You know that these are one EO and 3 memoranda none of which mean a fucking thing - this makes it sound like he did something good rather than extending the con at his country club
Some people actually like trump's smug, smirking face🤮🤮🤮
Illegal Actions
I see Politico has in the summer weekend stupid crew. A bunch of idiot summer interns working the news desk?
Everyone needs to unfollow after these kinds of headlines and show we won't give them the follows, thus clicks, they're looking for. Peace out! ✌️
It AGAINST the Law & and Still No Justice
Seems more like he’s just making up more BS. His for-show signing has no authority to back it up. It’s just another lie.
Why not also point out that he has no authority to do this? These orders are illegal. It’s an election stunt and that’s all. I mean, besides his flagrant unconstitutional actions.
Meaningless bullshit.
Idiotic
Ok 🙄
This is not legal. Stop reporting it as such.
are you even informed on the subject... only congress can do what he purports to be doing and the net result is CUTTING UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS as well as threatening SOCIAL SECURITY'S existence - wake up Politico
And they will do nothing.
Why is the headline implying Democrats failed? Republicans broke down.
Hush money.......again !
Good. Thank you Trump
You forgot the part about claiming unconstitutional power and sidestepping Congress
Draft dodger didn't want anyone to get close to what he just signed. He makes himself look like he did it because the democrats didn't want to agree?Really?When he's the one that fought Americans getting money. He's a liar
Why won’t the media call things by their proper names? Illegal actions. Lies. Taking undue credit for others’ work. Hold his feet to the fire, please! Being polite with Trump and his ilk and just repeating what he says he’s doing wins you no points, MSM; it just loses readers.
And now we understand why the Republicans wanted no agreement. So Trump could grandstand.
Moving forward with cuts to unemployment benefits and defunding social security/Medicare. CALL IT WHAT IT IS!!!
This headline is bullshit.
“Politico: We’ll let you do the research, fact check, and verify legality, on your own.
He doesn't control the budget. It's unconstitutional.
That headline sucks big ones.
Excuse me? Weren't there some Republican senators involved in the stalled talks?
Doesn’t mean shit
This headline is why I don’t follow Politico.
Does Trump plan on just skipping the Congress part from now on Should we just start calling him Dictator Trump?
Are these actions illegal? Why don't you say that?
The President doesn't have that legal authority, and the talks broke down among the GOP before they even got to the Dems. Whoever wrote this should be fired. Too many journalists looking for a job for outright BS like this to get through. This is journalistic malpractice
We have a president that takes action, not just lip service, Thank you, President Donald J. Trump for making such bold moves for All Americans
Its very simple. He messes up their gravy train while These play the game to get rich. Worth 10s -100s of millions on 120 k a year. Suckers. Kick backs for sweetheart trade deals and lobbies. Pelosi pandering to the ignorant is good biz. Congress is useless ergo the TDS
If Politico were a news organization instead of a pro-Trump stenography and propaganda site, then they would have noted several of Trump's promises violate the Constitution & laws, making them illegal. Only Congress can authorize a reduction in taxes.
'President Trump is unwilling to join with democrats in granting larger protections and relief during the COVID-19 pandemic.' Fixed your headline for you, assholes.
Why is Trump still in office?
ReallyPolitico? This is the headline you chose to go with? You don’t mention the illegality if it until halfway thru the article? I thought I clicked on Fox News.
WITH WHAT MONEY?
What about senatemajldr's role in this, he's the main reason, not the Dems.
'Moving forward', you mean breaking the law Regardless of who is president, they don't get to unanimously dictate these actions. Gov 101, at least pretend to be an actual news organization and call it what it is.
His EO’s, in my opinion, will go nowhere without challenges and are most likely just another way to stand in front of the camera and PRETEND to be taken seriously. That ship has sailed!
Democrats refuse to help Americans, all they want is to push progressive agenda. Like POTUS sais, most of the garbage in SpeakerPelosi HouseDemocrats Bill has ZERO to do with actually helping people or anything to do with coronavirus help
Gawd, go work for his campaign already. This is AWFUL. Have you READ the Constitution? Apparently not....
'moving forward?' Are the weekend interns writing your headlines? It's illegal and unconstitutional. Only congress can authorize spending or tax cuts.
For christ's sake, call it what it is... UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!
How about, GOP prevents deal with Democrats so trump can swoop in and grab another presidential Reality TV photo op. There. Fixed it for you.
Hey , you minimize ILLEGAL ACTION MUCH⁉️
Desperate to buy votes!
This was nothing but a planned set up. Republicans had no plans to strike a stimulus deal with dems. So this idiot could come out an attempt to save the country. Knowing u der the constitution he had no authority. Now when dems challenge it he will say I tried to help u. Setup!
Terrible reporting. No mention that the president has no right to issue such executive order. FakeNews
Unconstitutional actions you mean!
So typical. Blame the D’s in your headline .
It’s an absolute ruse! Per the US Constitution, Congress and Congress alone controls the checkbook! He has absolutely no authority to allocate Government Funds. Period!
HE. CANNOT. DO. THIS. WHY ISN'T THAT YOUR HEADLINE?
Moving forward with illegal actions would have been a better way to frame this.......
Don’t you mean he just signed an order to stop funding for social security? That’s what he just did. And he says he will make it permanent if he’s re-elected. That’s right: funding for social security will stop permanently if he’s re-elected if he has his way.
Thank goodness, Dems have only themselves to blame with the array of poison pills they attempted to insert in their bill.
You failed to mention that what he’s doing is illegal...
$400 bonus.
Thank me later
Among the orders President Donald Trump announced Saturday is an extension of emergency student loan relief that was set to expire in September
