More Desperate Stimulus Talk From WH - Trump Really Wants This

...sidling up to Speaker Pelosi, but it's his twitch, Mitch, who he'll need to convince.

Mark Knoller @markknoller 25m
On getting a stimulus bill, Farah says WH “ready and eager” to make a deal, days after Pres Trump pulled the plug on negotiations. Now she says he’s willing to agree to a package of as much as $2-trillion, previously too much. Expects some progress in the near future.”





...he's isolated and increasingly.desperate.

there is a HEROS bill already sitting on his BFF Moscow Mitch's desk. He could have one to sign as early as tommorrow!

Suck on it you orange hemorrhoid!

...he thought he could end negotiations and come roaring back like a hero with his $1.8 bid.

No one bit on that, and he floundered around talking to Limbaugh for 2 hours, and came out of that to silence on his proposal and lights out in McConnell's office. He's trying to get them to answer the phone right now.

Well, Trump has agreed to it. Now what.

We know Mitch is not a man of his word but what does this mean. Trump has not power over Mitch?

...we're going to see if McConnell actually abandoned him, or if just doesn't like visiting the WH.

I think he is done with Trump, he won't put his neck out for a loser, he sees the polls, Trump is toast, buying a couple votes ain't gonna help.

who want to keep Trump in office should send us all $5k.

People still won't vote for him but we'll take the money as payment for our collective emotional distress over the last four years.

His reptile brain can only hold one thought. Somebody told him the cutting off negotiations unilaterally tweet was killing him politically...now the turtle has to call him and remind him how nasty nancy pelosi is... flip flop flip flop... carp out of water just like he appears after climbing a flight of stairs with a mask.
