Trump was going to sign the stimulus bill on Christmas Eve as a gift to Americans but 'changed his mind,' costing millions of unemployed people $300

The critical $300 federal lifeline may now only last for 10 weeks instead of the 11 weeks that was sought when the compromise package was forged.the coronavirus relief legislation into law unless the stimulus payments were increased, which he did not disclose during the difficult negotiation process between Congressional leaders that resulted in the bipartisan rescue package this month.part of the $1.

"It's called the COVID relief bill, but it has almost nothing to do with COVID," the President said at the time, seemingly conflating the spending bill and the relief package.

My unemployment been gone since October. If I wasn't an entrepreneur by heart I would've been out on the streets. I'm good with realDonaldTrump not signing that bs bill. ⚓🇺🇸

Have anyone know where about the flu and the cold virus went? It has been missing for months. I’m about to call the police to file a missing report...

There was so much packed in this bill on top of the stimulus. This is yet another instance of Trump bashing for the wrong reasons.

Footage from that moment

Who was the last person he talked to before changing that Christmas Eve plan?

Good only for unemployed people that voted for him!

It may seem too miserable & petty to be true, but we should consider the very real possibility that he didn't sign the stimulus bill until the end of Christmas weekend because he wanted attention. After all, realDonaldTrump is a malignant narcissist.

Or maybe he didn't want to prioritize foreign nations over the American people or The Kennedy Center over local theatres?

Pos criminal slime , FREE THE CHILDREN LOCK HIM UP

The man is a disgusting OGRE.

He 'gave' the 'gift' of negative stimulus of -$300 for every UI recipient and the businesses they spend money on.

Oh please, just stop.

Oh please..give it a break already.
