The other three orders he signed include a payroll tax holiday for Americans earning less than $100,000 a year, as well as extending an eviction moratorium and deferring student loan payments."I'm taking action to provide an additional or extra $400 a week and expanded benefits, $400. That's generous but we want to take care of our people," Trump said at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
When asked by a reporter on Saturday why $400 instead of the previous $600, Trump responded,"This is the money they need, this is the money they want, this gives them a great incentive to go back to work."He went on to say,"there was a difficulty with the 600 number because it really was a disincentive.
But not the STIMULUS CHECK EXECUTIVE ORDER, HE THOUGHT NO ONE WAS LISTENING
Thank u sir. Ur doing wht we need. It will get better. Nothing ever stays same
Trump signs executive order to provide $400 in enhanced unemployment benefits, cutting the previous payment by a third
Tell it like it is BS
Since Trump is pausing collecting payroll taxes. I wonder how many people will be surprised when Tax Filing time comes around and they need to pay the taxes they owe that wasn't collected. Also on the $1,200 stimulus checks and the $600 a week supplemental unemployment checks.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 so how much money did they save by cutting the check to a 1/3🤣
No he staged a publicity event and promised if reelected he will destroy Social Security, Medicare and have someone study if they can defer evictions until after the election.
Just watched a clip of a bevy of young women reporters at this presser back trump into a corner and pummel him! OMG! Left hooks! Right Crosses! Uppercuts!! As he ran from the onslaught I couldn’t help but think: “The Ghost of Pussies Grabbed!”
Lol! Today the dems & their lapdog media are screaming about Trump providing relief to struggling, working Americans....just ponder on that for a moment!
Let’s ball😂
But when does the $400 go into effect on EDD?
Good.they dont need the generous 600.thats ridiculous..p.t associates hit the lotto. N still will make out with 400..
This is why I deleted your app.
States are broke. He is worthless.
It is politic and can’t blame him for trying to win the next election. If Democrats want to win they need to do something to. Trump is Trump. He will do what it take to win.
It's why he did it on a Saturday at his golf club surrounded by his drunk golf buddies. It was planned from top to top.
Okay that's cool & all, but he can't legally do this. Congress still has to appropriate the money
Liberals: Trump isn't doing enough to help people during this pandemic! Also Liberals: Trump can't help people during this pandemic! It's just not constitutional! Everyone else:
'25% of which states are expected to cover' - from the funds they received and still have had to them before. Turns out fiscal responsibility still matters.
Mnuchin Watch IV. “Shouting match in the Oval” at odds with Steve's usual deadpan demeanor. Is Wall Street rattled by heated (not yet physical) conflict in Trumpspace? Is the crazy Right prevailing over moderation in conflicts with Dems?
Shitty headline. He cut it IN HALF to $300 and is telling States to cough up $100 - not all States can do this and he knows it
The man is trying to do what Congress wont because they are to divided and selfish. Congress literally cant work together to help the people. It's their job and they are incapable of doing it. Our congress is worthless!
Trump cut it to $400 but congress had it at zero. I need them to get off their ass and no breaks til a proper plan is in place. People need something in the meantime. Tho I know this was out of his scope of actions.
What this means; the President cut unemployment benefits for more than twenty million American citizens in the middle of pandemic.....
Bernie Sanders had been chosen to 🛑 this greedy 🗺 competition for fame and💰. Mr Trump still has chance to submit and not make clown 🤡 out of himself. He is not 🙃 I believe. Just may be some mental health issues. Anxieties. He needs The wounded healer. Like me.🙏
The best president ever!
Well; he warned them. They had plenty of time to come up with decent plan but their immense greed got in their way.
And the other 3 ? Lmao CNN at its best. Dog shit!
AndrewYang 'Democrats were unable to reach an agreement' —with Mitch McConnell who promised to block them no matter what Cool story, CNN
He just told corrupt moneylaundering careerpolitician millionaire SpeakerPelosi to go flock herself. maga2020
The headline should read “Trump cuts weekly benefit by $200; Dems continue fight for full $600” howthemediapropsuptrump
Still the unemployed will make more than I do working. I am actually covering other people’s duties and my own because they are at home collecting 961. Per week 361 state 600 federal .
Trump’s unemployment benefits executive order is a win-win. Democrats are going to lose their mud over this, they sue Trump then they take away $$$ from the average American, they do nothing and they are weak, win-win!
The person who never paid taxes & enriched himself wants to make sure states & citizens all pay their fair share
He did what Congress could not. To actually help the ppl. You can spin this. The corruption is rampant
I just love the way he commits the states’ money without their consent and then takes credit. Even better is eliminating payroll taxes and putting my Social Security and Medicare at risk. Who benefits? Big business and the rich, of course!
Dear SpeakerPelosi & senatemajldr: So pass a bill codifying realDonaldTrump Executive Orders to continue Unemployment $300+$100/wk, Payroll Tax Holiday till Dec 31, and $1200 Stimulus Pymts Let Gov's & Mayors hound him for the rest! Revisit after election! CC: JoeBiden
pro_usa Red states will gladly accept and help out, blue states will act like the assholes they are and make it sound no good like you all have in your fake news article!!! 👹👹👹👹
You shouldn’t be making more $ sitting home than you were working. Not fair to those working risking their lives. You people and socialism are not reasonable AT ALL. We need everyone back to work bc it’s a group effort, be safe, & regain the best economy. MAGA!
So he cut unemployment by 50% and defunded Social Security and Medicare.
After do nothing democrats did nothing...fixed it for you
mans doesnt know the cost of living in the bay area, especially in silicon valley. this means the minimum benefits would be $567 a week (w/o tax). $2268 a month doesnt even cover rent.
This guy. One and only.
He is also cutting payroll taxes with this, which funds social security and Medicare! How is this helping out older Americans who have worked all their lives!? VOTE BLUE!
Surprised he hasn’t issued more executive orders, mostly just to shrink our hands so he would feel better about himself.
Good so people can go back to work and we will get best economy again. It’s been so frustrating having everywhere short on staff bc people rather not work & get more $. We are rebuilding America 🙏 Trump is a business genius!
US Constitution Article I, Section 9, Clause 7. No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.
The fund he’s taking the money from will run out in a matter of weeks. The “end of the year” part is an exaggeration, as is the “$400” part. It’s $300 and maybe another $100 from your state if they want to.
What about the 1,200 for the other Americans that needs the money
man don't give these niggas no more free money lol
realDonaldTrump do you cover the health insurance that’s been stripped?
trump signs papers and spouts shit but in reality it actually means nothing! Tax breaks must be repaid come April unless Congress passes changes! trump acts or thinks like a dictator and leads like he knows all and never listens like a bunker boy lead from safety zone yelo coward
NEW WORLD ORDER TRUMP PUPPET CONTINUES TO ORDER HIS MILITARY TO HACK OUR PLANET & CONTINUE MASSIVE WEATHER & CHEMICAL ATTACKS AGAINST GLOBAL POPULATION ***The Catastrophic Consequences*** Of Climate Engineering
“If he's reelected, Trump said, he plans to forgive the taxes and make permanent cuts to the payroll taxes.” In other words I’m going to blackmail you for your vote. If you don’t vote for me then you owe us all that money back that we gave you.
Oh hes using his old casino tactics, going for broke and tout success
Con man realDonaldTrump Takes your $600 & provides $400 in enhanced unemployment benefits -- 25% of which states are expected to cover - which means he's really providing you $300, then tells you it's a great deal If only we could get one of those multi-million-dollar PPP gifts
Doesn’t payroll tax Cover Social Security? Would that affect peoples ability to receive Social Security benefits?
Can I hear $499
Sooo states rights mean nothing and the constitution is more of a guideline than law. So much for our freedom.
So what about the furlough? 🤨
Yo, Semite, do something about the election fraud being instigated by Thigh Land.....
Looks like COVID-19 is ppl punishment for not working or jobless , what kind of country trump make into ? everything got an iou , even this is not our fault but more like trump incompetence drag this long with highest death toll internationally,way to screw us
AndrewYang This is bullshit. It’s not Trumps job to fix Congress’ failings. He is not a king or emperor. Americans failed by electing shitty officials and can reap what they sowed. This is actually impeachable... or he can be voted out for a real American like Jo Jorgensen
Political crap Trump only helps people who are voting for him. and states do not have money. incentive to go back to work when no jobs...Dems want no virus and jobs but until virus is gone there will be no jobs. And VeteransChoice was in 2014 by Obama
Don’t be fooled everyone Donald ducks $400 weekly unemployment assistance is for only 5 weeks !! Yes only 5 weeks ! In the bill it says there is only 47 billion to use for the unemployment! So we only get 5 weeks of unemployment $400 ! Donald trump is scum ! Your corrupt Donald
How will states cover 25% they have no money?
You forgot to mention he's gutting social security, and the 400 is 1/3 LESS than the democrats are trying to give people who are in dire straits right now.
Good! Democrats wanna keep playing games, by adding crap that has nothing to do with Covid
MAGA2020
BULLISH
Weird, I thought the GOP was in control of the Senate and they never brought the HEROES Act up for a vote.
Democrats are gonna fuck themselves AGAIN! Trump is gonna get a second stimulus check through and make himself out to be a hero. If he makes that happen he will take the win in November. Mark my words. No one cares more about their own bottom line.
Thank you for standing up for us Mr.President! These Democrats can't do anything right!
Sooo....it's just $300 a week?
Trump just defended Social Security and Medicare. Either he's an idiot and doesn't know it, or a criminal for trying to sneak it by America's that paid for it...
💯
How ‘bout some extra for those of us that have been working through this whole ordeal? I know I could use some.
Good
Good.
Damn, does he wish he could rule like his idol, Putin. Issuing orders regardless of laws and people liberties.
Finally a POTUS with 🏀 🏀 ‘s
Bravo, Mr. President! We cannot allow these congressional stalemates to impact American citizens still out of work. Democrats want to infuse their agenda items, that have nothing to do with unemployment & Cov-19, and have prevented any passage of a stimulus bill in the House.
Thank you President Trump!
rubenharris STOP WITH BULLSHIT HEADLINES LIKE THIS.
Love it if dems fight it shows they don’t care
Pelosi can block it. Let's see how that goes over
Where is the money coming from for the $400 a week!! Trump going to personally pay for it!! There has been no budget passed for it!! Trump is nuts, he thinks he can sign an executive order and it is done!! No he is not the king, only an elected civil servant!! Trump is a moron!!!
Unfortunately, unlike you broke boys & girls, I make too much money to take advantage of this “payroll tax holiday”. Enjoy being lazy/stupid, you get yet another mulligan!PayrollTaxHoliday Trump2020 TrumpThreatensAmerica BREAKING TrumpIsACompleteFailure
Ok that’s cool ....So when are the American people getting the $1200 stimulus check? realDonaldTrump AOC SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer JoeBiden BarackObama
Yes let's give the ppl not working more free money. Fuck the ppl working during this pandemic they don't deserve shit
At least its more than what State of TN alone offers which is 275. This is better than continuing to sit on a stubborn ass. I didn't vote for him. Glad to hear he his Making Something Happen.
AndrewYang Rent and groceries went down 30% as well right?
Lol you try to make it look like Trump's solution is a problem. Keep spinning, just try harder.
Thank you someone see's our Pain!!
America's is Trump's 7th bankruptcy! Where are those tea baggers who are so concerned about the deficit? Crickets. Trump has no idea how checks and balances work. This man doesn't even know how to do a balance sheet. He's taking this country straight to bankruptcy.
BS - I still haven’t got 1st stimulus check. Sure it’s cuz I’m his 1 gadfly! Here are my thoughts 💭: we gotta get rid of him & pence PRONTO! Then we’ll have PresidentPelosi
Oh wah. Its only $400 Don't take it then
In a time of war, anybody Official would use the line “Money grows on Trees”..but strumps isn’t exactly official..Or he’d be allowed to print money, or spare change. Which is what he just gave people judging by his lifestyle. jew ahem jesuit feed me, not lol.
600 wasn’t enough and now 400 a week this is a disaster
Why isn't his order to defund and ultimately terminate Medicare and Social Security the main headline here?! What is wrong with you?!
AndrewYang The ultimate negotiator: * Couldn't get anyone to agree * Played golf instead of rolling up his sleeves to work out a deal * Signed an Executive Order because he quit trying Another job poorly done ArtOfTheDealhahaha
I wonder what Dr. Urso would say.
That’s how you get it done
He's the best
'This is the money they need, this is the money they want, this gives them a great incentive to go back to work.' So, Delusional Donald believes that not only do the unemployed need an incentive to go back to work, but that there are tons of great jobs available right now ?!?!
Winning!
AndrewYang would the same deal be appropriate for your children
Incentive to get back to work would be better efforts towards manageing this virus. Trump needs to do his job
I am independent leaning for JoeBiden because of realDonaldTrump failure handling COVID but now I am changing my mind. Trump is showing leadership when Congress failed. Once we have a vaccine Trump maybe better to recover the economy
AndrewYang Dems weren’t negotiating with the WH, they were negotiating with the rethugs. The rethugs are the ones doing this and encouraging the squatter to do what he is doing so he looks “strong” for the the “world”. Shame on you CNN for stating otherwise
AndrewYang Cant tell sttes how to spend their money
Interesting but how about all the people who are off work because they have HAD the virus and are only collecting minimal short term disability pay? Seems funny there hasn’t been any type of $600/week for those who were actually sick.
States are asked to cover 25% because the funds have already been given to them (b the feds) for that purpose.
So the democrats want to give the people 600 a week but Trump wants to give them only 400
States were are already asking for money so how are they going to come up with the 25%.
$400 a week is definitely better than $200 a week Republicans are demanding, but $600 a week or $15 an hour should be standard, especially with the rate rents are climbing.
Maybe Jared and Ivanka can donate their profiteering realDonaldTrump or one of his ugly boys can give up their grifting money
quid pro quo
Fuck him!!! He’s just trying to buy some poll numbers!
So, cnn, can you do the research and tell us how his has authority to spend money that hasn’t been appropriated by Congress?
President Trump comes to the rescue while Democrats play politics.
This will not happen. He cannot sign an order that requires states to spend money. It's especially galling after refusing federal money to aid states.
Thanks Trump!! Do your job Congress!!
That's called socialism 😂
So will we have to reapply or will it just roll over and go into effect?
Thanks realDonaldTrump for taking care of the people.
This man is a moron. I just can’t support him in any way.
It’s a show with the Democrats, someone has to do it.
He can Exec Order $12,900 dont make only Congress got that smoke!! To do!!
This was a plan between Trump Nthe GOP Senators!I hope Americans have figured this1 out!The GOP refused 2 do anything,2help Trump do this executive order!he is buying our vote,so we can vote 4 him!Trump uses these tactics so we can say OH,Trump helped us but we helped him!No jail
3 were memorandums. Sloppy lede!
”payroll tax holiday for Americans earning less than $100,000 a year” That'll help a lot. But I’m sure the dramatic anti-trumpers will have plenty to argue about this option as well as the others too.
The leverage by the democrats was lost today.. the media did not care if it helps anyone, they wanted to know about lawsuits, unreal..
Outstanding leadership - decisive and strong leadership !
Thank you the ppl need it cant depend on the bullshit congress
so he cut benefits by 50%? Way to go. And he's defunding social security. Good to know. Thanks for the accurate headline.
350 🚶
AND THATS EHY STATES HAVE RELIEF FUNDS CNN.
I signed my own executive order this morning. I went from a Thousand-aire to a millionaire. Next week Billionaire. It’s so easy. 🤷♂️
He isn’t “providing” something that states have to pay for, is he?
it is something.
Uh... no the fuck he didn’t. Only signed 1 of 4.
Or maybe you could say that he signed orders to reduce unemployment benefits by $200? Instead of saying he’s PROVIDING something to people? Can you try and just have a spine about the reality of this idiot please?
Our great president working for Americans not for the politicians from the swamp DC and special interests groups. Vote red
400 isn't horrible, no stimulus check is shit though. I'm no idiot though. I know Trump only doing this to like like some hero. Ain't gonna work.
And stopped payroll taxes
Isn't that the same figure the Republican offer, I don't see why Trump is making it a big deal. Oh, I forgot he has to take credit.
No pleasing those who can't be pleased, period!
In yo face Demo rats
GOOD obstructionist do-nothing-Dems and the Fake News. They all belong in Guantanamo.
There’s no doubt that🤮 FakePOTUS 🤮and Mnuchin’s group decided not to bargain in good faith so that eventually The Trumpster (as in dumpster)could make himself look good by handing out this executive order. This is the way this sleazeball operates
All theatre...
Fuck yea president Trump!
This executive order ability of any president should highly motivate each Congress to get off the butts, stop playing politics and come up with some solutions!!
Trying to buy votes from the suffering by thinking you can pull an executive order is disgusting!
Lets be clear...Trump just cut the unemployment benefits by $200 per week for those who need it most. This administration cares nothing about average Americans. Nice of him to announce this cut in benefits to a room full of rich white guys.
The state’s coffers have been drained fighting COVID-19 without federal support this year. They surely can’t cough up 25% of president’s suggested $400 benefit. These dollars should be coming out of the federal treasury. Those are taxpayer dollars, not Trump’s.
ashtonpittman States are broke because of Trump's mishandling of the pandemic and won't be able to afford the $100. People will be lucky if they even get $300 Trump promised.
Please do better with your headlines an reporting. Be honest and stop covering for this ass. He continues to manipulate the news, lies continuously and you just fall in line.
But he can’t do that... oh wait
The Senate did this on purpose people! They walked out of negotiations just so Trump could have some TV time.
Headline should read President signs illegal executive order.
And his supporters will not know he can't do this and say 'Yes! Trump is the best President we have ever had!'
This isn’t factual at all. The EOs trumped signed today are meaningless because he lacks the legal and legislative authority to enact them. They’re not worth the paper they’re written on. Do better CNN!!
No, he signed one EO and three memos. Get your shit together.
He gets more done in a day by the time he brushes his teeth than all of Congress can do in an entire month.
I know what to do - I’ll sign an EO - makes me look like I’m doing something
Hopefully all participants of BLM and Antifa are excluded from this ,.. Cause they hate the United States...They don’t deserve anything....
Last ditch effort to get people to vote for him. A day late, and ten dollars too short.
buy bitcoin
it not president rump-its dictator rump. w3e have no congress. just a brutal dictator
Poilitical theater. Another hollow promise that will act as a battle cry to his supporters without actually doing anything.
CNN, Are you saying the President is a Coward or a Failure at Negotiating? Why post him loosing $200 per payment for the 30 million unemployed Americans that have lost their health insurance during a pandemic that has killed 164,139 in the US! While Wall Street gets BILLIONS!
And then ran away when questioned on his lies
He just gave workers and Companies payroll tax relief until next year, WHICH MEANS, Get Back To Work, and you will automatically ne making 6% more!!
Best President ever!
If this were a Dem President, the media and it’s cesspool I’ll would be on their knees in gratitude..... When Congress can’t get their act and continue to act like children, tell them to get stuffed. 🖕🏼🖕🏼
Trump just did, what the Democrats and the Republicans together, wouldn't do. Everyone benefits, it's not going to effect Medicare, or Social Security. The unemployed still gets theor bonuses, and people working get some extra relief they needed as well.
Don’t mess with the power of the American people we don’t forget your thrifty realDonaldTrump
Now what ?
SCOTUS ruled DACA orders legal even though congress sets immigration laws
Hahahaha that’s it? Hahahahahahaha Americans
