Nope. The Dems had him between a rock and a hard place. Took three years of trying, and then this virus appeared out of nowhere. They saw their opportunity to keep people unemployed, and they took it.
Why ELSE would you demand that unskilled workers making $1600 a week get $3500 if they remain unemployed? Because the Dems WANT people unemployed, at least until Election Day. Even the NYT wrote a piece questioning how high the unemployment rate needs to be in order for Trump to lose. (I think they're wondering if they overshot.)
Why can't procedures be implemented by the states that employers identify employees that refuse to go back to work.

You mean per month?
$3500 a week?!? Where. Even here in NJ it would be ~1300 a week max.

LEt's be problem solvers.
The suggestion is Trump is powerless.
I'm sure that will happen. The enhanced unemployment payments are coming to an end. And when they do and people look for jobs, I'm pretty sure employers will be checking work history to see if they refused to go back to work when offered a job and instead chose to sit home and collect UE. I would expect those that abused the system will have a hard time getting a job when this is over. Especially at a time when government actions have destroyed a large percentage of small workers and it becomes a "employer's market". The deadbeats will be the last to get hired.
Nice try, but the Leftists had Trump over a barrel - delaying the bill until they could get their demands met. Trump knew people needed money, and Dems essentially said "give them TWICE what they could earn or they get nothing at all."
Last time I checked, Republicans controlled the presidency and the Senate.

My mistake. Pre-coffee. I meant $1600 a month working an unskilled job vs $3500 a month being unemployed.

Asi explained, the Dems were refusing to put forth a bill granting the $1200 emergency relief unless it also bribed people to stay unemployed. Trump was in a no-win position, thanks to the devious Democrats.
Was Mnuchin not in the room with the Dems? Too bad the Rs are getting run over by greedy dems.
Those lazy ass Dems should be as clever as the beauty shop owner. Get a $18,000 small business loan/grant. don't pay your employees a cent. Then defy the area order stay shut.
Then all the rebels can give you half a million bucks.. That's easier than applying at the bank.
Trump has no power, no great deal making skills and just a puppet for all the bad, evil people in the world?
That's sad.
Well the bolded is correct. The president does not have the power to write and pass legislation. that is what congress does. The president can only sign it, veto it, or do nothing.
Maybe this will help ya.
Man, some people like to say Trump is a dictator or wants to be then they complain that he isnt one.
