trump realized his stunt not to sign the stimulus bill was backfiring on him,

Many trump supporters were getting hurt and starting to turn on him. Now if he doesn't get the additional $1400 to the American people done, like he's claimed he wanted, it'll not only hurt him, but all republicans, almost insuring GA will go Democrats controlling the Senate, because of trump.

We certainly hope that’s true. Make sure you give a donation to the 2 Senate campaigns of the Georgia candidates. Every little bit helps. Let’s work to seal the deal.

He never planned the $2000, it was just a way to boost the hopes of all who could use this money.
$600 will only pay a bill or two and maybe buy some food.
I think the whole intent of the $2000 proposal was to make him look like a hero who was defeated by his perceived enemies.

January 20th cannot come soon enough.

This was a pre-planned scam to make himself look good, but it didn't work. He needs money from his supporters for the next scam, he's running in 2024, when in reality he could be running again in 2021, from the law. We'll see how little he really tries to get the GOP to increase stimulus for the remaining $1400 in stimulus for the American people, which many are trump supporters needing it badly now too. trump screwed himself and the GOP by pulling this stunt.

It's about removing section 230 from the bill, which would benefit himself.

so that doesn't explain his failure to sign the covid bill. Seems that he just wanted to punish Congress and majority of Americans for not supporting his re-election and enjoyed ruining everyone's holiday weeked just because he is a malicious psycho and delaying the payments will make Biden's job even harder.
