    Wait.. so he called out the dems by bluffing, and the dems called out Trump by bluffing back and no one wants to give money, and they'll and up to giving over 3 times as much as they wanted to give? Am I understanding this correctly?

          No, because Mitch McConnell is still in the equation and he's consistently been shitting on the idea of stimulus checks too

            If Trump says he's giving everyone CovidBucks and McConnell kills them, Kentuckians will lynch him. Chuds are already pissed he accepted the election results.

            But then if McConnell gets his way then the Georgia races will probably favor the dems and so the dems would have the senate majority. In any case whatever happens in Georgia will be interesting.

          Eh... still plays into Trump's hands I think. Because she's saying that she and the Dems were depending on Trump's demands for the stimulus checks to make up their minds on how much to give in said checks. She's saying that Trump didn't show his hands so this could easily be flipped against her so as to say that, if they could, the Dems would only be willing to give $600.

          It won't work, because Trump demands a stand-alone bill. And that's not going anywhere in Congress.

              My gut says this is an attempt for Trump to solidify his populist support before attempting to use force to remain in power

                There’s a part of me that feels like that would be worth $2k considering how shitty Bidens been so far.
