Media - Trump Is NOT PUSHING FOR A $2,000 STIMULUS CHECK - He If Golfing

Don't even pretend he has lifted one finger to give Americans $2,000 each. That would be work.

I just saw a host on MSNBC say Trump "was pushing for" the check.

He isn't.

Not one bit.

Telling Lindsey doesn't move the needle.

It was just a cruel joke, like pretty much everything else he does.

He is in total "Hurt America For Rejecting Me" mode.

Just like he's done everything he could to prevent a response to this virus. Its all the opposite , because he's so compromised by putin he can't. Now he and putin has many GOP compromised too. Everything trump is doing is weakening this country for putin and him to use to their advantage.

PERCEPTION is everything to the Trumps. If they can get you to believe they are smart and heroic and generous WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND THE TIME OR RESOURCES TO ACTUALLY BE ANY OF THOSE THINGS, then that is precisely what they will do. So he claims (passive-aggressively in this case), "Well *I* would have given you more money..." and then wanders off to hit the links again.

perception is everything for too many Americans these days substantial facts be damned.

They skim off the cream and don't bother to find out what's under the surface.

At least, that's partially to blame for the current state of affairs.
