Pelosi Stuns! Responds To Trump’s Ultimatum To Put Americans First Or COVID Bill Is Dead On Arrival

All eyes are on McConnell after President Trump hammered the Coronavirus relief bill and called it a disgrace.

I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000, or $4,000 for a couple,” Trump said in a video posted on Twitter.

“Congress found plenty of money for foreign countries, lobbyists and special interests while sending the bare minimum to the American people who need it,” Trump said.

“They were only given a deduction for others to use in business, their restaurant, for two years,” Trump added. “This two year period must be withdrawn, which will allow the owners to obtain financing and get their restaurants back in condition. Congress can terminate it at a much later date, but two years is not acceptable it’s not enough.”

Many were shocked when Pelosi agreed to cooperate with the President.


There is all sorts of nonsense in the current bill, Congress snuck in $8 million to Joe Biden.

Oh and here’s this nugget Rep. Ilhan Omar is excited about, it extends green cards.

I don’t want to hear one word from Senate Republicans complaining about these payouts to Americans. They didn’t have any problem with recklessly spending American taxpayer’s money overseas they shouldn’t have a problem giving Americans their money back.

The bill itself should be vetoed and President Trump should demand a clean bill but chances of that happening are almost impossible. As the President said this bill is a complete disgrace it’s wonderful to see President Trump continuing to fight for Americans.

The amount of spending going on though is insane and if you want to know what a Joe Biden administration is going to look like just read the current COVID “relief” bill. Except for next time (unless Republicans successfully contest the election), no one is going to be there to stand for the American people.

To show we aren’t nitpicking below is a list of countries receiving aid:

  • $169,739,000 to Vietnam, including $19 million to remediate dioxins (page 1476).
