Workers displaced by the coronavirus will get an additional $400 per week in compensation under a measure President Donald Trump signed Saturday.
U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at a Whirlpool Corporation washing machine factory in Clyde, Ohio, U.S., August 6, 2020.Workers displaced by the coronavirus pandemic will be eligible for an additional $400 per week of unemployment benefits under one provision ofprotracted negotiations between the White House and congressional DemocratsRepublicans have resisted a move to keep the compensation at $600, with indications that they were looking at $200 a week.
Despite the burgeoning jobless problem, Democrats and Republicans were unable to agree on an extension, and the original provision expired a week ago. In addition to the unemployment insurance measure, Trump also signed measures aimed at halting evictions, providing a tax holiday and deferring student loan payments.
ylanmui Corrupt governors.
ylanmui Let Trump family and his rich Admin pay $100 from their own pocket for 6 months
ylanmui So the Dem states will not contribute to Covid unemployment. Like CA. Dems only care about beating Trump and not the US.
ylanmui Extending Federal Assistance as is would be the fastest, easiest and less expensive way of helping unemployment and other timed out measures. By the time States figure out the change and infatuate them, people will be in big financial trouble!
ylanmui If the states count the $100, as already being paid. The person collecting won't get it, they would only get the $300 plus their state's unemployment amount.
ylanmui Probably because there are in a huge deficit because I don’t know how to run their state
ylanmui
ylanmui Great move by trump. People can blame the governors if they don't receive the full amount.
ylanmui How about they pay what is already owed to claimants.
ylanmui
Silver and Gold shortages are here. At $2000 Gold, companies like Sandstorm Gold (SAND) are money making machines. Great interview.
These 2 on today’s mid day programming had the temerity to suggest POTUS was a deal maker with this charade of a move. They lost all credibility after hearing them shower praise on Trump. notseriousfinancialjournalists
Anybody notice that no one is talking about the $1200 stimulus check both parties promised just a few weeks ago. Just thinking about those who are employed or who receive unemployment benefits leaves out the roughly 100,000,000 people who are not employed and not getting by.
Stop lying. It is 300 And he doesn't have authority anyways
But it 8n fact does nothing
Cool now sign that order to every American everyone who has a job no matter the age, if they perform a service on payroll, they should receive this. And maybe then maybe we will start earing the 25 an hr min it takes to make ends meet
Print more $ and make every American billionaire and trillionare
Go back to work.
Except it doesn’t. That should have been part of the headline.
I believe this is technically called 'Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash.' TrumpIsALaughingstock
Not really. The states, most of who are broke, have to come up with 25% of the $400.
That’s good news! Where else would you want to invest this money than into bitcoin/ forex trading. Send a DM to get started today
Buying votes. How refreshing.
No, I believe this headline is incorrect. I believe Trump wants to reduce unemployment benefits to $400.00 which will further cripple families dealing with the effects of the pandemic.
He knows his audience...
Trump is just good. Admit it
The states have to pony up a matching $400. In Texas, it will never happen. 1.3 million currently. Many destined to be newly homeless in 30ish days. So this is useless.
You're missing the other important bits.
Extra? No.He reduced then 800/month I'd his EO will even work.
Trump is an empty gas bag lacking the authority to appropriate funding.
Better late than never comes to mind.
MiddleClazzMom Good
The King and his executive orders Call it what it is.
Nope.
Extra? No. He reduced the payment in 1/2, to $300, and states must provide the additional $100 or people in that state get nothing.
Yesss! Thank you Lord!!!🙏🏽
This is only to catch more voters, and at the expense of all Americans!
Those aren’t the same as unemployment benefits. They are emergency funds available IF states request them AND pay 25% AND will likely last two months and may take a long time to end up in people’s wallets. This is no substitute for a new law.
Let’s see how the deranged libs spin how the POTUS did something to help millions of Americans in need because the democrats wanted to play politics instead. And go... TrumpDerangementSyndrome
Are you kidding me 🤦🏽♀️
Cut.... Trump cut the $600 to $400. It’s was a cut in $ during a pandemic !!!
PMOIndia atleast he understands the monetary distress his people are going through, give people cheap access to capital in such away they can return it back with low overhead cost Easiest way to pump economy, but seems like govt doesn't care about poor n middle class
Thanks trump for putting us further in debt!!! Print more money!!!!!! Yay!!! best way for inflation!!!
You can’t buy a golden toilet for that amount
400 a week what a loser
Unemployed families needed it.
This is an INCREDIBLY poorly written headline.
Last I knew Trump can't appropriate funds; the House holds the power of the purse and all funding bills stay there.
Is that on top of the $600? $600+$400=$1000. Its a Start, then What!!? Give the People like was Given to corporations, BILLIONS!
Best. President. Ever.
Extra? This is cutting the previous one by 200? Why the false headline?
Trump cuts unemployment benefits by $200 a week in illegal executive order. Courts likely to reject.
Trump cuts benefits by 200$ to 400$ is the fact based headline.
You mean he pretends he can make laws by fiat.
We have pumped TRILLIONS into the stock market yet trump and republicans think the unemployed need a pay cut. We’ve got to be the dumbest populace on earth.
Free money and no inflation 👍
Best President Ever! SilentMajority can't wait for November to give America another 4 years ...
Trump is the Best!
Awesome!! Thank you Mr President! We love you!!
No he didn’t. He signed a piece of paper to make it look like he cares knowing full well he can blame the dems for stopping it as it’s not a legal process and knowing full well most states can’t meet the terms do it won’t happen
$600 to $0 to $300 Fed + $100 State That’s not extra! Is it even enforceable? C’mon . You should be better than this.
Your headline is a complete lie. It is 300
People complaining they get to keep more of their paycheck is a sight to see. They can send a donation to the IRS if it makes them feel better.
In all honesty, $400 is quite generous....
Your article is incorrect. Trump authorized the federal government to pay $300 (not $400) per week for people on unemployment. States would be asked to pay an additional $100, for a total of $400 weekly for unemployed workers.
He’s such a boss
Headline not exactly correct. Soon we’ll see whether we get results or if this was another campaign rally with empty promises.
Bad news. Now it will take 3 weeks to buy a Louis Vuitton handbag. LVMH coronavirus GovPritzker
This is really bad information. He signed a piece of paper that is not Constitutionaly sound. This is never going to be implemented. It will simply cause Chaos, which is his goal. Please report why this is a BS executive order instead of feeding the misinformation. Do your Job!
So, he rejects $600 ,offered originally only $200 - now he claims to offer $ 400. Talk about buying votes - the man is evil!
Keep checking your mail. Good luck everyone !!!
This was their plan all along. This is why Mnuchin has been stalling the negotiations. So now every unemployed worker who was receiving the previous $600 benefit now take a $200 per week cut. Yet billionaires and corporations don’t have to give back a dime from the “tax cut”
Nice work Trump
He can't do that. Not a power the Executive Branch has
'Trump signs measure to reduce weekly unemployment benefits by $200. and defund Social Security and Medicare' There I fixed it for ya.
If his EO is so powerful he would made it permanent
If trump had seriously control the virus in March you would not need these financial assistance now. The continuation of the assistance would be to cover up his mistake and buy an election with printed money.
New pair of Jordans per week 👍
Is it official tho? Does anyone really know?
Oh In election year ... he’s tanking in the polls mmm
realDonaldTrump Well done sir, only you care for US citizens
Trump to the rescue
All the trolls here, if Obama did the same thing he would be a hero and roses thrown at his feet but since it’s Trump haters gotta hate
Today dopey don started the defunding of social security and Medicare. If elected, this impeached President, with the blessing of the senate , will permanently defund Social Security, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. VOTE OUT TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE.
It’s official, this country is going bankrupt just like his casinos.
And just like that Democrats lost again
Not true
Pass help.
What about the $$$ Trump Regime wanted to sneak in for new FBI Building...; similarly, remembering Devilish Diversion of Actual Taxpayers’ $$ for Trump’s Wasteful ‘Wall’ that he vowed Mexico was going to Fund! THIS CORRUPT & INEPT WH’s BLAME GAME, DIVERSION, & LIES NEEDS TO END!
$1720/mth Tax Free
Wow....$400 a week. Trump pays more for his shoes.
You better not count on those checks. Donnie Dumbass does not control funds and he is not nearly as rich as he says.unless it comes out of gop donors pockets you get nothing unless a majority in congress approve and the GOP thinks you won’t go back to work if you get it
What will you do when this runs out easy money.
Executive action, it must be getting closer to election time. Any president can do this, not only the A--. With our heavy debt, where will this money come from. Trump is inexperienced with bankruptcies. Free money allows little incentive to work.
Why should people on unployment get any extra.... When I was on unployment we got what we earned.... This is all bullshit extra money and free food ......
The media is failing us with these misleading takes.
Message to People: set goals, have a plan, don't waste money, think before doing, be efficient, educate yourself (it's Free on the internet), and be responsible. Then quit blaming everyone else for your problems. Life is good. Make the most of it. Reality
It’s coming from disaster money so what happens after one of the 12 severe hurricanes?
Um nope
*cuts weekly unemployment benefits by $300
Every day, Trump reveals his true nature as the narcissistic dictator he is
Stop LYING
RetirementRight It’s actually $300, but this is bs
Dems: Trump & the GOP don’t recognize the American people’s suffering. We need the weekly assistance. Trump: approves $400 on his own. Dems: Nooooo!
everyone keeps saying he doesnt have the authority are prob mad they arent getting the extra money
oh, sure honey, i'm rich and have a big house in the hills, trump's just some drunk at a bar making more promises he'll forget about tomorrow morning when he wake's up.
Sp500 , down Jones , nasdaq monday maximus . Manipulator want this
Interesting take on an unconstitutional move cutting $200 per off the relief package.
Capitalist Socialism.
This is total bologna using fascist regimentation terms even Hitler would be ashamed of; maybe inbred to the end of inbreeding byzantines like ie pretending they help those in need ie those without while they help their regiments of their special people now downtrodden only.
I think he was able to do this because his federal storm troopers only stole about more then this from me yesterday near the whitehouse at the WW2 monument. It was my hemp supply I'd been running R&D with & evolving & evolving other stuff with containing evolutions of cures...
I think the story actually is that what he did was illegal
People obviously have no idea how social security and Medicare works... the sad thing is those are going to be the same ones depending on it 🤦🏾♂️
Which he can’t do lawfully - law and order
Fell short, disappointing. Watch the dump on Monday $spx
Time to take that azz to court. Republicans gave big business BILLIONS in PPE meant for small business but want to pinch pennies w/American families?
Good move. We have a Disfuctional Congress 👏👏👏👏👏
Well done
Is this a joke?
I think this will help the stock market Monday lol let’s all eat. 👍
Thank you Mr. President.
Mean nothing
Trump is a fraud, and so are his EOs.
Don’t like Trump, but that plan sounds to me quite good for the market on Monday
🤔So my question is when will SpeakerPelosi and HouseDemocrats file an emergency injuction with the dc_courts to cease and desist the POTUS ExecutiveOrders?
Only 75% of it or $300. a far cry from $600.
No, is spinning the truth. Again. Trump CUT the benefits from $600 to $400 (with states now having to pay 25% of it) to the unemployed in the midst of an out-of-control pandemic COVID19 and highest unemployment in the US since the Great Depression.
All states now can Legalize sports gambling and marijuana here we come!! Get that chedda!!!
Smoke and mirrors.
Unfortunately, it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on. Legally he can’t do it. Once again the asshole is conning the American people
It’s $300 and the States have to cough up the other $100. My state is almost insolvent in the UI fund account.
More defaults on the horizon
Democrats f**king up! Win win for Trump
it’s going to court I’m sure .. sooooo it’s a “nothing burger”.. favorite quote of the grifter family... and thanks for nothing
Democrats f**king up
400 to 600 your splitting atoms over 200 but trump showed leadership
Extremely contractionary order& Even 400$/week will not last
Can't have people living off the gov. and taxpayers forever. Good to wean people off to encourage them to go back to work
Another shameful CNBC headline. It's not providing anything. Symbolic gesture only.
He has zero authority. This is DOA
Where will he get the $?
Wrong
TRUMP and GOP games ! but ... glad people will get this.
Just in time 😅. Though I was going to have to go back to work.
Trillions in coronavirus relief but not a single damn penny for Covid tests.realDonaldTrump does not care how many Americans die as long as his idiot virus narratives aren't proven false.
It's not $400, it's $300. In a typical 'con man' fashion; tRump takes credit for $400, but puts it off on someone else to come up with the other $100.
Lots of green candles coming for Nasdaq Monday! Bulls on parade!
He has no power or authority to make these payments!
He cut it by 1/3
Prat
Only Congress can appropriate moneys...
metalgirl2418 ‘I’m just a Bill, I’m only a Bill., & I’m sitting here in capital hilll.....’ anyone who watched ‘Sesame Street’ .. knows this nit can’t do this ..AMERICA IS STILL A DEMOCRACY & he wants to play King! VoteTrumpOut VoteBiden2020
So unemployed people in the US will get paid weekly,wow
Funny, I saw a young man begging for a handout on the corner at a stop sign. His sign said losc$600 a week , unemployed and need some help. Across the street was a huge sign at Unitye stating now hiring. Guess how much he got from me? President is wrong!
😡😡😡😡😡😡
WRONG!
Where’s that money coming from? China?
His executive orders are a bunch of fluff, to make him seem like he is helping, lets see if you people get the 400 dollars,
He’s now put the DNC in a crazy corner - if they stall or challenge this - they’ve just given the 🖕 to the American people - wow - checkmate trump2020
Of course this is $200 a week less than you are getting if you are on unemployment currently.
He is not waiting on Wicked Icecream Nancy to do something. He is not career politician, and he will get my vote in November
Thank god we have a decision finally - enough of this in fighting - Americans are sick of it DNC
He also gutted Social Security and Medicare with the stroke of a pen.
Oh GOLLY! Thank You, Your Highness. You are SOOOOO munificent! 💩
More table scraps...enjoy them, while you can!
FuckTrump
Executive overreach.
Well he doesn’t control money, Congress does.
The good thing about this is that everyone gets a fair cut , those who are working can get that payroll tax relief ,those who are not working get a reasonable share of financial support , and a relief for students loans too. If Congress disagrees it should get back to work.
Lol extra?
Excellent, awsome
I would not want to be the politician that sues to stop the money going to the 40 plus million who needs it, instant job loss in my opinion
How long is it supposed to last? The end of the year, like the other EOs, I assume?
IT'S A TOTAL TRUMP LIE! HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES LED BY PELOSI & THE DEMOCRATS ASKED FOR A CONTINUATION OF THE $600 TO THESE VERY NEEDY AMERICANS! TRUMP & REPUBLICANS THINK THAT'S TOO MUCH B/C IT WOULD MAKE THOSE SUFFERING AMERICANS LAZY & NOT WORK!
The idiot doesn't understand that the Congress allocates funding. He's so used to ripping off the Federal government that he thinks he can share other people's $$$. TrumpIsAMoron
Not one chance in hell that he has legal authority to dispense money.
TRUMP CONTINUES ACT'G AS A 'NEO NAZI DICTATOR'! SAYS HE'LL DECIDE WHAT $$$ HE'LL ALLOW AMERICANS DESPERATELY NEED'G HELP AGST PANDEMIC & FAIL'G ECONOMY! STEPS OVER CONGRESS-the 'VOICE OF THE PEOPLE'! DOES SO AT HIS RESORT W/HIS 'KIND OF FOLK/RESORT MBRS'!
Maybe he should stand on the street and hand out cash.
How dare Trump help the unemployed! Hilarious seeing the Dems try and spin this
It's better than nothing, I guess
NO HE DID NOT. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER.
Turns out the party of Trump loves their welfare handouts and socialized Obamacare after all.

From what appropriated funds?
— Give FACTS!Say it’s a hoax because it is! Trump does not have legal power to do this!
Gotta love the kids who don’t get everything they want for Christmas
I don't even think we should refer to trump as Mr.-he certainly has not earned it-he never cared about US-ALL the LIES were for HIM to get ahead-if only we had listened to his PAST misdeeds-instead we believed a handful of republicans-SUCH A MISTAKEI nytimesbusiness CREWcrew
Open all businesses now. Small businesses are being destroyed for political bs!!!!!!
So basically at this point trump has accepted deafeat and he is just throwing shit at the wind
$400 a week is about like making $12 an hour on a 40-hour week after taxes who could complain about that if you don't have any skills or education
Fed's are at 300.00 month, state 'pitching' in the other 100.00.... fro the 400.00 total Trump say's.... Trust me, 95% of the state will not participate in their 100.00 share....So it will be 300.00 week extra.
So people will complain they don't get any money Now they're complaining they get some money
And the federal government is responsible for 75% and the state 25%. If the state u live on does not have the funds u get $300 😳
Trump slashes unemployment benefits by $300 a week. Better headline.
Still nothing for essential employees? Lol
Not enough
TrumpLandslideVictory2020
He had to make sure it was equivalent to $10 hour cuz him and his GOP flock like senatemajldr were mad some people were getting paid more under unemployment.... they don’t even want people to make over 40k in a year. They think less of those ppl!
He has no authority to do this
President can shift money from something else that's been funded he oversees, but can not spend 'new' money. So is it coming from the wall, millions in golf security/hotel days, or from Melania's renovations? Would he really sacrifice a few golf days for the unemployed? Nah.
if there wasn’t an election going on he realDonaldTrump would say “it is what it is” but this is nothing but grandstanding
GOP leaders need to condemn this. Distance themselves and focus on the senate. This goose is cooked
You are fools ! You are an enabler. You act like a stenographer!! Your constitutional duty is to educate headline should say bullShit is bullshit. Do your constitutional duty
There are some dumb democrat donkeys in this twitter feed!🤣. All 🤡🤡🤡
How about some tax breaks for others over the limit like you do for your companies realDonaldTrump
Thank you Donald Trump
The president can't appropriate funds. This will likely not stand in court.
He could also sign an EO to play starting quarterback for Alabama... neither will happen.
No thanks to AOC and Nancy - the lesbian coalition leaders of the United Liberated front of Garbage Pail Kids.
A positive thing yet Democrats are furious lol. Poor things.
Democrats always find a way to lose.
He’s cut unemployment checks to $400
False headline. States would foot 25% of the $400. States that don't have the cash now anyways. He wants to defund your social security and medicare and is trying to sell this to you as a generous tax cut. He also wants to defund police and teachers by withholding $ for state.s
I'm curious to know what the fiscal hawks in the Senate will think about this.
PUT ME IN COACH. I AM READY TO PRINT!!! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Congress is a joke. I'm glad he trying to override them. Our citizens need emergency money now.
Great precedent for President Biden. Looking forward to quick EO’s from Biden including amnesty and citizenship for illegals, increasing SCOTUS with 2 more seats, assault weapon ban and more.
the left now complaining about giving free money to people. ffs they are a shambles. thank Pelosi for making trump look like a hero
realDonaldTrump bgarlinghouse Ripple
*to cut unemployment benefits
Sadly, many of the people that are hurting the most are not even getting unemployment.
Wow so Trump just cut the weekly unemployment benefit, and 3 months before an election!
POTUS TO THE RESCUE. 4 executive orders that AMERICA needs!! Can’t wait to see who opposes this!
Trump exceeds constitutional authority in futile and dopey attempt to pander to his golf club membership.
He doesn’t have the authority to do this. Please note this essential fact in your headline.
Stop spreading bullshit. He's cutting it by 200-300 , and his EO is not even legal
Trump spits on constitution, removes congress from power of the purse, setting up future EOs funding whatever presidents want
Trump vows to defund Social Security and Medicare. That is the headline you should use.
Democrats spent time trying to give foreigners money.
Believe TheDemocrats, SpeakerPelosi and SenSchumer can live with most of these, not to sure the GOP can, this will blow another huge hole in the budget. D's need to just roll with it. Then when JoeBiden wins presidency he can use EA for tax and spending priorities.
$400 is one night at a Sofitel.
Extra? He cut it.
