Put me down for no. It would certainly have to be fact-checked for a start. He is highly likely misrepresenting some things.

And he is most certainly doing his typical bullshit grandstanding with his call for more than $600 for individuals.

Is he really going to veto this bill as it stands? He implies as much.

Wouldn't put it past him as i've said a number of times he will do all he can to make Biden's job more difficult.

And his suggestion that he could be the next president. What do you say about that reckless and irresponsible stupidity.

Oops, almost forgot. i wonder how much of the money going to other countries he mentioned has been voted on before, just not yet spent.

You know very well that every bill ever passed contains various payouts to bullshit causes and pork barrel projects that each Congressman or Senator wants for their own personal agenda or glorification. The most notorious one for doing this is Mitch McConnell. How else can a worthless asshole like him get reelected by people living in poverty?

But the question is which person (Republican or Democrat) put those items in the bill, in the first place? That is, if we can even trust Trump with what he claims.

Because we all know that Trump only mentions things that promote his personal agenda and doesn't bother with providing all the facts. Here's an article that goes to the heart of the matter with regards to what the bill contains that's meaningful which Trump didn't bother to list in his little rant.

Here are two people that agree that $600 is not enough to mater.

Nancy Pelosi

And John Ossoff.

Maybe these two DEMS can get a new bill to the floor.

And wouldn't it be nice if they could somehow get the money to people who need it? Instead of people like me? I gave mine to my sister who is on SSD and lives with chronic pain in nearly every joint. Even $1200 isn't going to make much of a difference to people who really need help. One month of rent and food and it's gone.

And let's not forget that Biden has called the present relief package a down payment.
