I’m for the relief, but I would have preferred it gone through Congress.

Trump has set himself up here to make a really good argument that “you give the House back to the GOP and I can do really tremendous things”.

Schumpelosi have completely overplayed their hand here.

Mnuchin literally had $1.25 trillion on the table for them, and they act like, no that’s not enough. Meanwhile A. of course it’s enough and B. if it’s not there’s always tomorrow.

But if they think that this only hurts Trump, they’re making a mistake. Everyone knows there could have been a very juicy deal for the DEMOCRATS’ constituencies, and the Dems torpedoed it.

Only when it comes to screwing us over. I suspect that will happen soon, again.

It was more “better than expected” economic data released today.
