Trumps top economic adviser seemed to have a difficult time explaining the specific details behind the presidents latest executive orders, which were aimed at providing coronavirus relief measures after negotiations stalled in Washington.
The executive orders would cut additional government unemployment benefits provided during the pandemic from $600 to $400, and offer a payroll tax holiday for millions of Americans, which Mr Trump said he would make permanent if reelected in November.
But none of that was entirely clear when Larry Kudlow, the White Houses director of the National Economic Council, spoke to CNNs Dana Bash on Sunday morning.
Mr Kudlow asserted the presidents orders on unemployment benefits would actually provide $800 to Americans who lost work due to the pandemic even though Mr Trumps measures would offer just half of that amount.

Kudlow has what Trump considers the most important qualification, blind loyalty.
