QUESTION: If Trump is going to call off limited quarantine why is 2 trillion in aide needed?

Looks like Trump wants the aid passed by congress then calls off the limited quarantine and then takes credit for a spiked economy.

Is this far fetched?

1. Trump brands himself as an anti-socialist. He's trying to avoid looking like one,

and will send hundreds of thousands to their deaths rather than look like a socialist. So he DOESN'T want to give money to the common worker or citizen. He'd rather bypass the issue and pour money into corporations, and pretend that there is no such thing as corporate socialism. If depopulation is the price to pay for good Dow numbers, then so be it. Deaths mean nothing to Trump.

2. So you think he'll wont sign the 2 trillion package? I really wish congress would stop and think ...

... and put the stipulation that if Trump calls this all off in 8 days then there's no need for 2 trillion in aide.

3. (1) Trump can't.

(2) If he tries by withholding aid, and what he says is taken literally, that's still weeks away. And still is "maybe."

(3) A lot of damage has been done, and there's no reason to think that in a few weeks he'll do what he says now he might do later.

And it's an open question if that much debt at once will be worse than the problem, or that the changes being demanded in addition to what's required will have any long term effect. Neither side is letting the crisis go to waste, and both are doing the "we all need to work together, so do the only moral thing and line up behind me--eat your peas, idiots, and listen to your superiors." Politicians are greedy for power everywhere, not just in Turkey or Bolivia.

and he almost ran from the podium

6. +1, I'm thinking this is what he has in mind ... screw people getting sick he's going to

... spike the economy with this package.

I'm still wondering what they're going to allow with the 500 billion slush fund ... democrats can't allow this.

5. $45i has a $1 bet with the Mar-a-Lago social club that he can rape the US Treasury

one more time and get away with it before the election.

7. I don't think anything is far fetched when it comes to him.
