On Tuesday Donald Trump described the Covid-19 relief bill as a “disgrace” saying “I’m asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000 or $4,000 for a couple.” He also suggested that he would not sign the newly drafted bipartisan bill saying “throughout the summer Democrats cruelly blocked Covid relief legislation in an effort to advance their extreme left wing agenda and influence the election. Then a few months ago Congress started negotiations on a new package to get urgently needed help to the American people, it’s taken forever. However the bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated it really is a disgrace.” The President went on to detail a plethora of agencies that were sited in the intended bill to the tune of billions of dollars which he called “wasteful” and beneath the allotted aid for “small businesses” and Americans. He said congress found plenty money for “foreign countries” and “lobbyist” while giving the “bare minimum” to the American people. The President eluded to not signing the bill unless the changes are made threatening to leave it to the next administration which he said may be his own despite his recent loss in the electoral college.
