Mr. Trump-- the first decent thing you've said in four years, and you fucked it up...

[TreasonousBastard]

After ignoring the problem for months and letting your stooge Mnuchin do the work, you come out and say 600 bucks is too little.

Well, it is too little, but you have now made even that amount more difficult to get.

It almost looks like that was the plan all along.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. He didn't intend to do a good thing. He was just trying to get even with Moscow Mitch

for acknowledging that Biden won the election. He knew Mitch would never go for it, and so put him in an impossible position, which of course the Democrats took advantage of. This predictably dick move by Trump might have cost the GOP the GA runoffs (we hope) and Mitch his majority leader position (we hope).

4. Or taking pressure off the Republican Senate for the Georgia election by allowing the bill to be

passed, while still trying to sabotage the start to Biden presidential term by not signing it. I.E., continuing to destroy America while trying to look as if he and the Senate really, really want to help.

[Demsrule86]

11. As far as I know he has not signed nor vetoed the bill...he intends to kill it.

Is there news that he has signed it?

[Arkansas Granny]

12. This! He knew he was throwing a monkey wrench into the works, but he just doesn't care.

He doesn't care that people are struggling to keep rent paid, utilities paid and food on the table. He's never worried about those basic necessities and doesn't have any empathy for those who are facing these problems.

All he sees is a way to fuck things up as he's walking out the door.

[Cha]

21. That would be just fucking brilliant!

[riversedge]

2. Never forget that Trump is a cruel manp-child.

[CurtEastPoint]

6. Child, hell! He's a GD MAN-BABY!

[Skittles]

3. he does not care about struggling Amercians

he's just fucking the GOP who did not sufficiently help him with the coup

[zentrum]

5. Need to look at everything Rump

…..does, as serving his con to make money.

He doesn't give a flying F about McConnell or Americans or any of it. But—he knows how to work the con. He knows his base hears this as him being their savior—as really caring about them.

Once out of office he'll hit up his loyalists for $4.99 a month to help him start his media outlet to expose the Democrats, Biden and the socialists who stole the election. This will gross him 1Billion a year, according to Michael Cohen.

That's what this is all about. The con is on.

[Demsrule86]

9. His base might wise up as they starve and are tossed out of their houses.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Have you seen what God has done to them?

That they will turn on Trump is wishful thinking, I think.

[Demsrule86]

18. I think Trump is on his way out...in all respects.

[tblue37]

10. I think that like Palin, he will soon find out he is old news.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. The Latter Grift Might Be A Possibility

But, I always am a little confused as to why thinks the asterisk knows how to make money.
There's no evidence.
There's evidence he knows how to lie his way to Kore loans he otherwise wouldn't get, but that not evidence he knows how to make money.
This was a guy who had $450 million in assets over 30 years ago.
The S&P fitted growth over that time is >11%. Money investigated then would be worth 26 time more. That would be $11.7 billion. The most inflated (lied about) net worth was $4.8 billion. Meaning his most braggadocios prediction was nearly $7 billion less than he would have had HAD HE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
The grift now is about covering interest payments on personally carried loans & his 4 yield shield is gone in under a month. Nobody would pursue action against unpaid loan against a POTUS. An ex-POTUS is a different matter.
He has to cover the interest, if not the principal, collection proceedings can be aggressively pursued.
He's not going to get richer on the grift, unless he actually gets that full billion Cohen's scheme suggests.

[C_U_L8R]

7. He intended to scuttle the bill.

Heck, he even could have signed it then gone back and campaigned for more money. But that's not what he wanted. Instead, he flung shit at walls and across the whole country.

[mtnsnake]

14. and then blame it on everyone else. nt

[Demsrule86]

8. The plan was to get nothing and let people starve...GOP monsters.

[mtnsnake]

13. He is way too evil to have been sincere about the $2000

It was just one more photo-op to build himself up in the eyes of the ignorant.

[pansypoo53219]

16. moron wants $2k to boost his 2024 chances, but he wants his NAME on it.

[MustLoveBeagles]

19. Right

As usual he wants all the credit for the hard work the Democrats did while he sits on his lazy ass and does nothing.

[occupant]

20. Missing treasure

What I'm curious about is the supposed flying "the Bill" down to MarGagO. Really, just flyin 5500 pages of paper down there? Someone or something else must have needed a lift down there. Maybe Hope Hicks? Maybe some of his posessions prior to the move? Maybe some original artwork that has been replaced by copies? This seperate flight for the "Bill" is a bunch of bullshit, especially if the asshole isn't thinking about signing it. Someone better inspect the White House for missing treasure...
