Nate Silver Tweet: Wait, so Trump not only rejects stimulus funds

[Claustrum]

Wait, so Trump not only rejects stimulus funds that would probably have helped his re-election chances, but *also* does so in a way to make sure that he personally will take blame for it?

Link to tweet

I agree with him there.... The drugs have impair his judgement is sounding more likely by the day. But then, he never had good judgement to begin with.

[LymphocyteLover]

1. His psychopathy is getting worse

God help us

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. He may think he is using hard-knuckles negotiating tactics, but won't work & will cost him dearly.nt

[Thekaspervote]

3. More to come from the maniac on steroids!! Further tanks other gop races as well...too bad

Indeed a sad day thou for those that need the relief !

[tinrobot]

4. He's given up on winning.

He is now free to cause as much damage as he can before January.

You know, for spite.

[NoMoreRepugs]

5. RUMP on steroids having the nuclear codes is a scary thought.

[Johnny2X2X]

6. He's going to talk this back

And tghen he'll say it was just a tactic to get people back to the table, and when a deal is struck he'll say it worked.

[Claustrum]

10. I don't see this happening unless they move up to the 2.4b that democrats want

So they didn't have to throw the gauntlet down if they were the ones to move. Just not going to work......

[Johnny2X2X]

49. He walked it back

Of course he did.

[regnaD kciN]

15. It takes two to strike a deal...

...and, at this point, there’s absolutely no reason for Democrats to lift a finger to get anything passed, knowing he and his party will get the blame.

The only circumstance in which I could see a deal being struck would be if Trump gave Democrats everything they want – plus agree to withdraw the SCOTUS nomination until January.

[Johnny2X2X]

17. There are millions of people who need help

And they can't wait until February for it.

[MissB]

19. I think the market realizes that

Trump just threw the economy off the cliff.

I know, stock market does not equal economy.

But it’s reacting to the grenade he just threw at the already struggling economy.

[crickets]

42. +1

[aggiesal]

43. Yup, he just threw a grenade in a 10 gallon bucket of paint ...

then left and locked the door behind him.

The explosion and paint will hit everyone, and he thinks it won't hit him.

I call him Pendejo45, because he's an IDIOT.

[Dr. Jack]

7. Trump is either delirious or he doesn't want to win

Im leaning more towards drugged out and delirious since this is dumb even for Trump.

[Tommymac]

46. McConnell took advantage of this and hung Trump out to Dry. It's over.

McConnell is a monster, but he is very savvy politically.

Just one whisper in the deranged Killer Clown's ear and McConnell is snuggling into his warm little security blankie.
Talk about political cover when it comes time for MoscowMitch to pay the piper in a few years.

And IMHO it also shows that Twitler's handlers have had it with him. All the way up to the top hand job man Putin. He will deliver them the Supreme Court. He is not needed any more.

[yardwork]

8. The president is unwell and incapable of fulfilling his duties.

[Binkie The Clown]

9. Everyone who knows how to talk him down from his rage is in quarantine. nt

[Claustrum]

13. Was there anyone that can talk him down before? I haven't seen it for the last few years n/t

[dhill926]

39. Supposedly Hope Hicks....

but she is indisposed...

[dalton99a]

11. Millions of his fans are counting on that $1,200 check

[indyblue]

16. Plus my $200 Medicare drug card,seems like I'm using more lately!

[Johnny2X2X]

20. They thought it was already on the way, the $1200

I think Trump is going to say that unless he wins you won't get a dime until Biden is in office, so vote for him or wait 3 extra months.

It's a massive mistake.

[MissB]

22. On one hand, I welcome the mistake

On the other hand, this is going to destroy lives.

[SergeStorms]

30. That's exactly what he's doing.

"Vote for me and you'll get your check" (with my name written all over it, like it's MY money). "If you vote for Joe Biden you get squat" (except for a responsible and capable leader).

[cbdo2007]

12. He wants to lower vote percentage to cause a greater constitutional crisis when he steals it.

Imagine if it's a blowout by 70% to 30% with Biden winning and Trump still steals it.

Remember this was never about Trump being a good leader, it was all meant by Putin to sew confusion and internal fighting in the US.

They desperately want people to take to the streets and riot, and the main way that will happen is if it is so shocking that we literally have to stand up.

[Claustrum]

14. How does angering everyone who is waiting for help going to suppress votes?

I am personally very angry and will make sure to vote him out.

[cbdo2007]

34. He isn't suppressing votes, he wants to lose by a big margin...that will make his

stealing it all the more impactful which will lead to riots and chaos.

He is trying to get people to vote against him so he can pull the ultimate FU move.

[Demsrule86]

27. That will never happen.

[The Magistrate]

47. Too Many Moving Parts, Sir

"In war, only what is simple can succeed."

[WyattKansas]

18. Oh, the stupid just hurts so much.

Come on tRUMP tell us how you really feel... That you want the whole country to honor you as the bigliest and bestest ever to be President and to only put your name on everything, your face on Mt. Rushmore, your name and face on all our currency, a going away benefit of 1 trillion dollars yearly retirement, you get to keep Air Force One with staff and crew, etc. etc. etc.

Come on... Come on... Tell us what you want.

[WSHazel]

23. Trump is playing 3D chess while we are all playing checkers

except he is also eating the pieces.

[Claustrum]

26. Maybe he is just profiting off the market like he was a year or 2

I hope someone investigate him and the people around them if they have easily traceable stock market purchase that trends with his tweets.

[flibbitygiblets]

24. He doesn't have the votes from either party, so he wants to make it look like it was "his" idea

Rule #1: It's always about him.
Rule #2: See rule #1.

[jorgevlorgan]

25. This might have been an agreement he made with the gop senate

To create separation between him and them, to lessen the fallout.

[Jon King]

28. Scorched earth....

He is going to burn everything he can to the ground on his way out. Hold on tight, it will seem an eternity until Joe's inauguration. Guarantee Trump will be first President not to show up for his successor's inauguration.

[CanonRay]

29. At the end of WWII, Hitler said that the German people should perish

His narcissism could not accept his own failure. Sound familiar?

[The Magistrate]

48. Exactly, Sir

Americans are not worthy of His Magnificence, and must suffer for it, even be expunged if they cannot see the Light!!!

[Traildogbob]

31. Has anyone informed Melania

Steroids make you dick tiny——-er. And on top of that, The gold mine is empty, it’s owned by Putin. All that damn diggin, oh God your nails. That mushroom will be nothing more than a spore. Now, get the fucking Christmas shit up you Ho, before O’Riley breaks down watching baby Jesus crying.

[Larissa]

32. World of hurt

Trump has seen the handwriting on the wall and wants to take everybody out with him every way that he can. It says a great deal that his own son publicly expressed concern about his behavior.

36. To quote Bob Cesca...

"tRump always makes things worse for tRump."

[berni_mccoy]

37. Speculation: McConnell put him up to it

McConnell is clearly using Trump. If he can use Trump to take the heat for the fact the Senate would never pick it up then that’s an advantage he will use.

[Claustrum]

38. That's a good point. But why is Trump doing it?

I think Trump thought it's good and McConnell just cheer him on while laughing in his head about how stupid the guy is. Trump isn't the type of guy that will take one for the team. It has to be his own idea.

[berni_mccoy]

40. He's on serious drugs and maybe asking his loyal sycophants for help

McConnell did speak with him while he was in the hospital. McConnell is surely playing Trump at this point to get what he wants. It sure isn’t Trump coming up with the list of judges.

[berni_mccoy]

44. Called it...

[Claustrum]

45. Kudos, I still can't believe how stupid Trump is to follow it

Turtle must have played Trump to think it's a good thing for him. Sucker......

Lets wait for the fallout for Trump and Turtle.

[kimbutgar]

41. He is so mad he is Losing his re election he is seeking revenge and wants to put more pain

On Americans. I guess his supporters are not affected by the broken economy and will still vote for him. If I supported a President who made this announcement I wold think twice about voting for them again. But I guess the cult members like the suffering of others and themselves if they are affected.
