President Trump and his campaign race to score a political boost from a series of weekend executive actions addressing the economic fallout from the coronavirus before the limited impact of the measures comes into focus.

He added that he was looking to cut capital gains taxes and income taxes for the middle class — moves that would also require action by Congress.

"It is far from clear that the payroll tax holiday will achieve its intended objective of, as the president said, 'save American jobs and provide relief to the American workers,’” Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst for, said in a statement. “First, the action is a deferral of these taxes, not an elimination of them. So, the bill is still due, it just isn’t due in the short-term.

Even the lone move involving more concrete action remained surrounded by question marks: It's unclear how states, already struggling financially as a result of the coronavirus, would be able to meet their requirement to pay a quarter of the $400 a week in extra unemployment benefits the measure calls on them to provide.

“This president stood up for the American worker at a time when Democrats refused to do so,” she told reporters.

NBC can you just start reporting facts instead of giving your opinion on every statement. It is not NEWS when you constantly do that. People want facts and should inform their own opinions

Yeah.... get the investigations on Illinois et al done!

Right, like he wasn’t tired of SpeakerPelosi bullshit and you’re not a biased group of journalists. Pathetic.

Media when Obama signed EOs after Congress inaction: he’s got a pen and a phone. 😂

As long as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) which is the origin of COVID-19 is taken down, the world economy will recover soon!

wear a mask IDIOT

Which he wouldn’t be able to do if the press would stop sugar coating that he’s freaking insane, evil, and likely suffering from dementia!

Cause Trump Rocks!

Limited impact? More like limited reporting. This thing had a much greater impact than I thought. 👮‍♂️🗽🇺🇸

“Limited impact” in this case means “HE CANT UNILATERALLY DO ANY OF IT, zero, zilch, not even a little bit. It’s all Fake“ in case you were wondering.

Your undertones of bias is showing NBC🤔 Many Americans🇺🇸 are completely FED-UP with the mainstream media pushing a certain agenda! Sorry...We can't trust you anymore! 🙏God bless President Trump for putting the People First...and God bless the United States of America!🙏🇺🇸

What boost? Do you really think there are people at this point that are undecided? We know what choices we have. Unconstitutional executive orders that don't even come close to doing anything, signed at an elite members country club in front of a Caddyshack audience was theater

As usual, it is all mostly bluster - smoke and mirrors, guys. Nothing to see here.

Not worth the paper they were written on. Definitely not the Sharpe he signed them with

It's All About Him. Acting Like he's some Savior. Where was he/Mitch McCon even a month ago.That was ENOUGH time to work out a deal b/4 the Deadlines. Fact is Neither 1of thm CARE Abt working Ppl.They Already have Thr Millions. U Reap what U Sow. God's Reapng Day Is Coming.

What boost? He still fucked up.

What Fake News won't tell Americans!

A boost from who. Only idiots don’t understand this really isn’t much help. It certainly doesn’t help the millions who are months behind on bills and if jobs can’t bring you back because of virus?

The truth is that Trump cares about us...

Undermining social security is not the action I would have taken. In addition he didn’t really do much of anything because most of this won’t ever happen because it requires states to foot a large portion of the bill and they are strapped for cash.

Lovely, play politics in a pandemic and economic depression ItIsWhatItIs

Race? He told them if they don’t pass legislation he’d be forced to do it himself. That’s not “racing” to anything. What a dishonest headline, you wouldn’t expect more from NBC.

What did he do before then?

Trump farting and clearing a room would by him points for social distancing by most of the media he attacks

or he's just trying to help Americans who need help...
