ICYMI: Trump walked away from the bargaining table to provide Americans relief.

He claims he will do “an Executive Order” instead.

Ah, ok. I have...questions.
The first question:

“Who are you fooling?”

Millions of Americans face evictions & you have no authority to stop them with an EO. You think you can reallocate federal budget. You have no authority to do that.
You say “probably we’ll get sued.”

I know you are used to getting sued and your Executice Orders not standing. Your orders don’t have much of a track record...
Would this be like your: your order that Twitter let you tweet whatever you want, your illegal immigration order, your order on drug companies,
your illegal order to make Internet companies liable for their content...
Or is it your illegal orders to change how the census works, your order repealing the ACA, your orders on “voter fraud”, your order to end ACA subsidies & cost reduction, your “0 tolerance” immigration order...
Or your illegal executive orders that hospitals disclose private information, your order eliminating worker protections, your illegal order on sanctuary cities, or illigal argument on collective bargaining.
You may feel all powerful sitting behind that desk but Article 1 says otherwise.
You say you will single handedly allow companies not to pay payroll taxes.

Will you pay their penalties when the courts find that you obviously have no power to do that?
Why do you want to cut how much Americans receive to $200 with a cap at 75% of their income at $600?

Any idea what it’s like to support a family of 4 on an income like that? An income cut that Americans know comes because you ignored this pandemic.
You keep saying you don’t want any relief today go to Democratic governors or mayors.

Do you understand all states have massive deficits (including red) & where the cuts will come from? Unpopular cuts to Medicaid & education.
You understand PPP expires this weekend?
You understand the funding for contact tracing & isolation in the House Bill is needed to control the virus?
You understand the House passed the bill in May and you allowed all of this relief to expire?
Mostly, understand this. You lost the House because you spent 2 years trying to strip Americans of their health care. So you don’t have the votes.

Now you want to strip people’s income & oversee cuts to Medicaid & education.

Do your job. Support Americans when we need it most.
