Axios reporter outlines how easy it will be for Democrats to win Trumps game of chicken on the COVID stimulushttps://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/axios-reporter-outlines-how-easy-it-will-be-for-democrats-to-win-trumps-game-of-chicken-on-the-stimulus/
President Donald Trumps economic adviser Peter Navarro quoted the Lord for giving his boss the supreme authority to write whatever laws he sees fit. But it doesnt seem to have delivered Trump the omnipotence to fix his COVID-19 stimulus problems.
Speaking on an MSNBC Sunday evening, Axios reporter Jonathan Swan explained that Democrats shouldnt have a difficult time messaging around Trumps decision to go at it alone and issue a series of executive orders.
There is a real problem here, which, you know, weve sort of talked around a little bit but havent addressed directly which is if you actually think about it, its not that complicated an argument for Democrats to make, said Swan. Their argument is this is a crisis. This is a pandemic and more money is required. We need the $600, you know, extended into next year via unemployment boost and vastly more money to the states, et cetera, et cetera.
He noted that Republicans could try and make the argument that its fiscally irresponsible, but its not likely to be an argument that could work for republicans since theyve ballooned spending with a tax cut that failed to deliver what the GOP promised.
