What I believe has happen is trump had McConnell stall getting relief to the people and small businesses , and cities and states so he could use it for another political publicity stunt by putting his name on the checks, and brag he got this done for us when really he's been behind stalling it, with McConnell's help. Trump also claimed he was going big, he said, really big when in reality he was cutting what Nancy wanted for this stimulus package, and still is, and trying to give more to the wealthy in it. trump is a fraud , along with mitch McConnell. If trump , Mitch , and other republicans are voted out we will see a farer stimulus package in Jan. to help speed up recovery of the economy, and a real covid policy to defeat it. VOTE!!!!

(23,727 posts)I'm asking for $2.4 Trillion Dollars to bailout poorly run, high crime, republiCON businesses, money that is in no way related to future income tax. I made a very generous offer of $1.60 per Democratic households and, as usual, Nancy Pelosi is not negotiating in good faith with my coworker Putin. I am rejecting their proposals to help the American people.

After he wins the election, there will be a package.
Markets dropped like a rock.
These drugs seem to be working as we were warned.
He probably has someone shorting the market until he announces something. I wish I knew how to play this but I'm just waiting until sanity returns.
Trump sucks.
