Dude is off his rocker, someone probably got a hold of him and told him this is akin to being with Kurt and a Shotgun.

i guess not before tanking the stock market mind you.

Question is, do the Democrats now hold him or cave?

He's effectively made his own bed and instead of holding the American people hostage, its now the democrats. Personally I hope they dont budge but they probably will. feck him.

Keep it up Donny. Every move he makes at the moment seems to be alienating sections of the electorate. Yes he'll hold his shrinking base, but now he's down significantly among over 65s, female voters and voters that dislike both candidates - all significant sections that he won in 2016. I am increasingly confident of a Biden landslide.

Biden's up in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and even Florida, the campaign is pumping money into Texas as Trump pulls money out. Even fecking Ohio is tied.

CNN's SSRS poll is amazing reading (fivethirtyeight has SSRS at B/C rating and 0-1.2 Dem bias) and was conducted mostly after Trumps positive test (Oct 1-4)

It probably goes without saying, but Trump absolutely did not write those three tweets last night himself.

It's definitely someone very arrogant too writing them because they're sooooo snobby, but it's almost like they reach a certain point and go "Oh feck, I'm meant to be Donny here" and all-caps some random words. :D

Yep, she is listening ... but only if each stimulus cheque is signed "Virus Super Spreader-in-Chief"

what an ad
I can't imagine Trump wiped a single one of his children's asses when they were babies (with the exception of Ivanka once he started finding her attractive, so approx. age 8 or 9). There's no chance he'd ever pick up a dog's shit.

Hmm..... so him calling the golden showering Russian prostitutes "Ivanka" makes way more sense now.

Sounds like a lot of money saved, hopefully they can distribute it across the Fortune 500 and ensure the CEOs get their bonuses.
Don´t worry it´s nr 2 on the list just beneath giving money to Trump owned enterprises.

Well he's just put a noose around his own neck politcially.

American people dont stimulus in two weeks, they need it now.


Edit: Trump is off his absolute rocker and I get the impression none of his staff care anymore after the position he has put them in...

I feel that they're going to let him eat his own head now.
Trump's position is pretty clear, even if it's the wrong choice. He wants the stimulus checks to go to households now because surely that will get him a bump, and possibly because he thinks it's good for the economy. Pelosi wants to stack on a load of stuff on top of that, which won't get through the Senate in even a slightly revised form, so put that big plan on the backburner and force through this one component for now. He's been pretty consistent on that one too.

Pelosi holding out for the big win when that offer is on the table has upset a few folks on her side of the aisle too, because it's so obviously necessary urgently, and the idea that she can just win this negotiation in spite of the stubborn opposition looks a bit like hubris at this point.

It seems Trump's big hang up is giving money to states, because he can only see blue and red, and helping out democratic states would be a concession too hard to stomach. Which is stupid given the economic analysis from Republican and Democrat economists point to it being one of the most effective measures last time, it's even more necessary, and it's a relatively small sum compared to features of the previous bill.

So saying he won't give stimulus to households isn't true, and probably won't persuade voters given the contrary evidence (in a fairly complicated process).
