Politico proposes that Congress’ laugh ‘at Trump’s bizarre, embarrassing’ COVID-19 relief capitulation
President Trump has been complaining for almost a week about a ‘shameful’ $ 2.3 billion COVID-19 relief and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s spending package in 2021, only to sign it and get nothing back not? ‘The editors Jake Sherman of Anna of Playbook and Anna Palmer were amazed on Monday morning. “Trump was taken to the cleaners.” After this ‘bizarre, embarrassment’, Trump only proved that ‘he had no observable strategy and no hand to play’, Palmer and Sherman write. “He folded and got nothing but a few days’ attention and chaos … Zip. Zero. Zilch. ‘ Trump has issued a statement insisting he gets promises from Congress, they say, but “he will never get the expenses he asks for, like a zero chance,” and his support for a vote on $ 2,000 stimulus checks will only get the Republican Party on its way out the door. “This is probably the most appropriate code for Trump’s presidency, and a neat summary of his relationship with Congress,” Palmer and Sherman added. “He never wanted to understand the place and was disconnected from his job. They will laugh for a while – er, brainstorm – at your genius about this one, Mr. President.” Palmer also notices Trump’s horrific optics on emergency loans, unemployment benefits and rental assistance from his golf resort in Palm Beach, while Vice President Mike Pence is on a ski vacation in Vail, Colorado, and Mnuchin is a private jet to his vacation home. in a Mexican resort near Cabo.> I see it’s the holiday … but Trump in Mar-a-Lago, Pence in Vail and Mnuchin in Mexico, is such a dramatic split-screen of pain and suffering that so much Americans at the moment feel it comes down to the fact that we can only afford food and housing. >> – Anna Palmer (@apalmerdc) December 28, 2020 Maybe there is something appropriate.
