No additional stimulus until after election

[cptlo]

Ignoring if additional stimulus is a good idea or not, I don't see how this helps him win reelection. Isn't he taking full blame for no additional stimulus bill?

The stock market didn't like it either.

Trump may somehow blame it on Pelosi,... but this one's on Trump...

The reality is, it wasn't going anywhere regardless.

But the way Trump handled it will not play well. The haters are already attacking him.

Let's see if Pelosi folds at all, just to make Trump toe the line, it's politics,,, don't ya just love the way government works!!!

It’s like he’s decided he doesn’t want to do this anymore and he’s picking the worse possible way to do anything because he’s too proud to admit it. Of course Biden seems to trying to use lose as well. What a mess

He's saying now he paused it so the Senate can focus on the SCOTUS confirmation.

Political suicide but economically sound. The economy isn't suffering from a lack of demand, a condition for which stimulus is recommended by Keynesian economists. It is suffering from a lack of production, a result of making it illegal to work. Want proof? Our trade deficit reached record levels last month on strong imports in spite of tariffs. We're buying stuff.

Agreed

Maybe this was his plan all along....or someone told him how stupid the earlier tweet was.

One thing I have learned about Trump is that he has a reason for everything he does.
