President Trump calls for 'big, bold' economic stimulus package for coronavirus, including sending checks to Americans

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin say they are exploring the idea of legislation that would include sending checks to Americans to help them manage through the economic impact of coronavirus disruptions.

Mnuchin also said financial markets will stay open: "Americans need to know they have access to their money." Trump has pitched an $850 billion economic stimulus package while the Senate considers a House-passed bill aimed at providing paid sick leave, among other initiatives. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin met with senators late last night and will continue efforts today on an additional stimulus package

An official said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is “asking Congress for a package today but we are not in a position to confirm the number at this time.” Another official said the number is “around $850 billion.” Executives from Domino's, Papa Johns, Chick-fil-A, Subway, McDonald's, YUM! Brands and others committed to the"critical guideline and assured the President they fully intend to feed their communities through other innovative avenues."

Poll: Americans Don't Trust What They're Hearing From Trump On CoronavirusAfter the White House downplayed the coronavirus threat in the past month, the number of Republicans saying it has been blown out of proportion jumped, according to an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll. Kind of find that number to be quite over exaggerated given the severity of the consequences due to his lack of action. It matches his approval rating though. Well when you f*cking flip flop your responses relating the coronavirus what in the hell can you expect?
