As much as I agree that most of blame for THAT circle jerk belongs on Nancy Pelosi, it wasn't an incredibly bright thing for the president to say. I imagine a bunch of folks told him so... but he does what he does. I often wonder if he really WANTS to win again. Not sure he ever thought he'd win the first time.
The joy ride in the parking lot, the balcony stunt taking his mask off, telling the world to not worry about Covid and now this, is seriously waaay out there.
I don’t know if it’s desperation or self sabotage.
Face it, Trump knows he's absolutely toast. He's getting torched in the polls. His debate was disastrous. He's pursuing a scorched earth policy at this point, throwing a tantrum like a little baby while millions of Americans suffer because he is incapable of being an effective leader. Trump needs to stick his pride in his pocket and take in on the chin like a man. Stop punishing Americans for his failed and pathetic presidency.
Read between the lines of the tweet. Trump only says there will be a stimulus bill if he wins. When that doesn't happen he will be more than happy to screw over the nation once. He will feel no need to sign a stimulus bill after he is soundly rejected. America will likely have to wait for relief until Biden takes over in January.

The polls are meaningless like they were in 2016 when it indicated Hillary having 90% of winning. Also only Democrats think that Biden won the debate.
Wow. With tens of millions of Americans out of work, struggling to pay bills and put food on the table, Donald Trump has politicized an economic stimulus that could help the American people.
Wow.
Never has Trump done something so indefensible. I doubt there's a single Trump supporter here on C-D that would agree with this strategy.
I don't agree with the strategy.
I also disagree, based upon fact, that there are "10's of millions of Americans" out of work right now because of COVID and the Government's response. We were just short of 160MM employed, now we're just short of 149MM.
How many more people would be employed with continued $600/wk unemployment vs $400?
How many more people would be employed with an extra $1200 (make sure to use the stats)?
How many people were laid off from state and local governments because they haven't yet spent $150B?
Their bank account balance is not your business, lots of people need help out there, as well as Trump supporters. I bet you and some of the others on here, didn't send your stimulus back.
I got less than $800, and I gave it to non-church charities helping the poor.
Pelosi and Mnuchin has a deal. McConnell scuttled it. And Trump threw a tantrum and took his ball home
The Market will drop 10% this week and they’ll pass the 2.4 billion package next week.
The fact is denying local aid is defunding police, schools, DPW, FD’s, Libraries and things people really like
