President Donald Trump Tuesday said he was the person who canceled the deal to pass coronavirus legislation in excess of $2 trillion after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi included "a lot of things" that had nothing to do with people who have been put out of work because of closures over the spreading coronavirus epidemic.
"I canceled the deal," he said in a Fox News virtual town hall. "I said, 'I'm not going to send that deal.' Nancy Pelosi came and put a lot of things in the deal that had nothing to do with the workers, that has to do with an agenda they've been trying to get passed for ten years."
Trump said he told Vice President Mike Pence and several other key Republicans that there was "no way" he would sign the deal.
"We almost had a deal the day before," said Trump about an agreement between the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
"It was really a good, solid deal," said Trump. "All (of a) sudden they start throwing all the little green new deal stuff in. The board rooms, what they look like. 'We want clean energy, we want all this stuff. Let's stop drilling oil.' They had things that were terrible. Windmills all over the place, all sorts of credits for windmills. To kill the breeze and ruin the real estate, right? A lot of problems."

They didn't have a deal yesterday. Or the day before.
Hmmm... He conflates nothing... He understands and is rightfully disgusted by the legislative process...
He is a master troll who is our best hope for any possibility that the citizens of this Nation will ever being free again...
No, no he doesn’t
Ok, come back to me in a day or two, when he has SIGNED THE BILL INTO LAW, and explain to me in what fashion he cancelled it.
Over 1400 pages would be a little hard to tear up on camera. You wait and see she will get a bunch of it eventually. Can't wait to see what they cook up today.
Not a deal. Nancy’s poison. He probably told all of them it would be vetoed immediately if it did make it to his desk.
It’s almost like Trump took her plan and tore it up. With the whole nation watching...snicker!
“The worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it. That makes the other guy smell blood, and then you’re dead.”
That's not what he said. Regardless, the Senate has to come to some agreement and then reconcile with the House. Then Trump can cancel the deal.
“Just leave it right there on the floor at their damned feet.”
Should do a public tearing-up of her add-ons.
Since the DOW is doing so well, Pres Trump may just cancel the deal altogether
Looks like Nancy brought another pile of horse poo to the table
It would be far better than untethered money that would go for reducing credit card debt, marijuana etc, and other things that would not bump start the consumer economy.
Doing so well? Dow is down 4500 points in March alone.
The House hasn't even voted on anything yet.
It's also gone down 2000 within the past few weeks.
Wait to we get back our GOP Majority in the Senate and then pass the original bill.

Geez, we KNOW that. She still brought another pile hoping that it would be voted on.
I thought I was freak about details.
