She's Concerned Again! Susan Collins Calls Trump Stimulus Announcement 'A Huge Mistake'

President Donald Trump’s surprise announcement about stopping stimulus negotiations until after the election sent shockwaves through DC, and even concerned some Republicans.

Senator Susan Collins put out a statement saying, “Waiting until after the election to reach an agreement on the next Covid-19 relief package is a huge mistake. I have already been in touch with the Secretary of the Treasury, one of the chief negotiators, and with several of my Senate colleagues.”

why we can expect him to revert back to negotiating.

Otherwise what is to keep them from having a talk about the 25th Amendment?

Maybe this is his ploy to have that off the table.

I think the GOP is set to turn on Trump. When he's costing them real $$, they'll figure out how to toss him under the bus.
