*NO deal with Pelosi. Trump doesn't say specifically why and no one has followed up yet.

*NO deal with Pelosi. Trump doesn't say specifically why and no one has followed up yet.
*Trump buying a lot of oil
*Trump suspending student loan interest
*Trump declaring nat'l emergency freeing up ~$50B disaster aid
*Trump waiving regs on hospitals/docs/etc.




Trump did not take a question about the House bill -- panning it -- until after the market closed for the week.

a total farce.

Trump gives out ridiculous disinformation, e.g. doctors told him "this whole thing will flow through and be gone."

"flow through?"

And saying hold ups in Congress on legislation to deal with the crisis are because "Democrats are not giving us what we need for this."

Maybe the worst part was turning it into a commercial for his various corporate pals, followed by praise from administration members for what a trmendous job has done to protect the nation.

And, of course the usual lies.

but Trump wanted more. He will never agree to anything, he is so fucking scared that Pelosi will get the better of him. By him doing this, she just did. She will pass the deal on her own.

Hearing that one of the holdups in passing the coronavirus bill is Republicans wanting to add some kind of abortion restrictions & remove paid sick leave. If so, that’s a damned disgrace.

On the other hand, I think he's just a reflexive asshole and this probably isn't based on anything at all.

Pelosi and Mnuchin need to just ignore him.
