Yeah, okay dude. You are a bit late on pretending to give a shit.
Of course, this will slow things down again and people will still be going without as they have been for months now.
He is veering all over the damn place...someone needs a tranquilizer dart to the neck.
He doesn’t ACTUALLY want to send people more money. He’s trying to throw McConnell under a bus.
In order for the current aid package to be changed at this point, both houses would have to re-vote. But most of Congress have already gone back to their districts for the holidays. If Trump vetoes the bill as-is, same thing - congress will have to vote to override. If Trump just sits on his tiny hands, it’ll take 10 days to become law, which will delay the aid. So one of the following will happen:
-McConnell recalls the Senate for the vote, which is going to piss off the membership.
-Trump pocket-vetoes, and can blame the delay on McConnell.
-Trump signs the bill, and can claim he tried to get more, and blame McConnell.
-McConnell and Pelosi recall congress and pass a bigger stimulus, and Trump claims victory.
This is typical shitty move on Trump’s part.
