Stimulus: Trump Sticks It To Congress (And Us)

CNN had this to say..
"The White House explicitly told Senate Republicans weeks ago that it supported pursuing the omnibus (all 12 appropriations bills tied into a single big package) and those negotiations took place for weeks.

The White House was fully aware of what was in the bill and what was agreed upon, though White House officials acknowledged late Tuesday that Trump himself had not received a detailed briefing on the package before its passage.

Most of the items the President listed off as problematic in his Tuesday night video weren't from the Covid relief piece of the package. They were from the omnibus. Most, if not all, of those items were similar to items in past spending packages the President has signed."


Here's the way I see it
(1) Most of those requests for foreign spending came from his own state department
(2) He had 10 months to work with congress and didn't lift a finger.
(3) While congress frets about some sort of deal over Christmas Trump and Melania are headed off to Mar-La-Go this evening. Where, he no doubt will take in a  number rounds of golf over the next few days.

Does anyone seriously believe he cares how much you or I get? He knew Democrats wanted $2,000 for individuals and made fools of Republicans trying to cater to his needs for over nine months. Nothing unusual about that. It's who he is. He likes screwing with people. It makes him feel self important.

The way I figure it he could give two nickels what is or isn't in the package. The reason why he threatens to kill the bill is because all his voting hoax whining wasn't getting him enough of the attention he craved. By sticking it to this bill that's all everyone now talks about. He simply can't stand it when the spotlight isn't always on him

There's nothing more he loves then making people run around like fools trying to satisfy his whims. Then sit back, go golfing and watch the chaos follow what he created. It makes him feel all powerful when he screws up everyone's best efforts.

Looks like Mitch now has a great big problem on his hands despite carrying water for him. Wonder how Mitch feels about that? How will he react?

A great number of people were worried what crap he'd pull his last days in office. Looks like this is one of them (and it's a whopper). Stay tuned he could make things worse. Especially on his own supporters who won't help him overturn the election. Another trait of his.

Now is the time even his most ardent supporters should concern themselves with what should be for the greater good of this country (and themselves). Will they?
