BREAKING: The president just pulled the plug on COVID relief negotiations until after the election.

[demmiblue]

Nancy Pelosi is asking for $2.4 Trillion Dollars to bailout poorly run, high crime, Democrat States, money that is in no way related to COVID-19. We made a very generous offer of $1.6 Trillion Dollars and, as usual, she is not negotiating in good faith. I am rejecting their...

...request, and looking to the future of our Country. I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business. I have asked...

...@senatemajldr Mitch McConnell not to delay, but to instead focus full time on approving my outstanding nominee to the United States Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett. Our Economy is doing very well. The Stock Market is at record levels, JOBS and unemployment...

...also coming back in record numbers. We are leading the World in Economic Recovery, and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

1. Drop dead you sick fuck.

2. "I got mine; screw everyone else"

That's pretty much his mantra on everything.

[The Magistrate]

3. He Won't Do It Then Either, Ma'am

Everyone knows.

42. Especially after he loses. He really won't care then.

[llashram]

4. I mean this is insane

lie after lie, after lie, after lie...

[Laelth]

5. The Steroids Speak

He’s feeling great ... feeling his oats ... playing Mr. Tough Guy, but he could care less about the American people.

It’s nigh impossible for him to pass a COVID relief bill when he’s a lame duck (after Nov. 3), so he’s engaging in magical thinking as well.

6. Stock market tanks right after his tweet.

[TeamPooka]

7. blackmail

[Roland99]

8. BlueWave is gonna keep getting bigger. This will devastate the GOP

People need help and they will see no republicans will ever offer that

[Jarqui]

9. which just sent the Dow Jones into a 400+ pt drop .. ..nt

[Turbineguy]

10. Those drugs seem to be working

as we were warned.

[C_U_L8R]

11. Doubling down on losing the election.

But hey, these steroids make you feel grrrrrrreeeeeeaaaaaattt !!!

[Thekaspervote]

12. Polls show it would push him up if he would pass a covid relief package

This is so very sad for those that need help.

It only further sinks his campaign and makes the senate more attainable

[kurtcagle]

13. Quelle surprise

Trump: I will hold hostage any recovery money unless you vote for me. Gotta get a dig in all those evil blue states that are violent and poorly run.

Bastard.

[aquamarina]

14. And the market just responded.

Red as far as the eye can see. For someone who is fixated on the market as a sign of his prowess, he just did the absolute opposite thing he should have done. He’s literally a fucking idiot (my apologies to idiots).

[RANDYWILDMAN]

15. Dumb move gonna backfire on him

He does not care about people, it's that simple.

[Grins]

16. Why, thank you!

For this new club with which to beat you!

God, what will the Lincoln Project do with this...

[belpejic]

17. This guy is insane

He's high AF and off his rocker. He's truly a danger to himself and to the rest of the world. If his family can't get him to restrain himself then it's 25th Amendment time. Seriously, this is getting scary. He's on a massive, drug-fueled power trip.

[aquamarina]

22. Pardon my ignorance but what does AF mean? Thanks.

[belpejic]

24. As f**k :)

[aquamarina]

31. Thank you!

[sunonmars]

18. Doing everything he can to lose the election, now another thing to batter him on.

[BusyBeingBest]

19. LOL. Who's stupid enough to fall for this dumbfuckery?

He'll gladly pay us Tuesday for a hamburger today.

[GusBob]

20. immediately after I win* No wonder the markets are tanking, its never gonna happen

[octoberlib]

21. He's a monster. He's also, really, really bad at politics.

[Yavin4]

23. "I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating..." My representatives???

I'm so old that I remember when congress had self respect and weren't agents for the president.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

25. Their is no limit to Trump's capacity for cruelty and evil.

None.

[Grins]

26. "... instructed MY representatives..."

He thinks they are his employees.

[Mariana]

47. Why shouldn't he? They sure act like it. nt.

[GoCubsGo]

27. Ramming Aunt Lydia through is all he cares about.

This is not going to end well for him.

[MissB]

43. Isn't she more of a Serena?

[LuckyCharms]

28. Oh so that means after he loses and is a lame duck...

He's gonna get right on that.

No worries DU, he'll be fucking dead by then anyway. The virus doesn't care about his politics.

[Raven]

29. It's a Hail Mary Bribe.

[wiggs]

38. It's clear he's not looking for more votes.That's not his pathway to stay in office, in his mind nt

[tinrobot]

32. He realized he can't win, so he's tanking the economy as revenge.

[duforsure]

33. He stalled it for months getting one done,

So he could use it again as a political stunt. Now he'll promise things he knows he'll never do, after the election, which will be lies. Trump never does what he says, and he'll try to push through more going to the wealthy instead, and less to us. That's how trump always does.

[Codeine]

34. Hear that, House and Senate Republicans?

You are no longer elected officials, you are the designated lackeys of the all-mighty Steroid Man!

Jesus fucking Christ.

[Hugin]

44. There is always the "Veto Proof" option.

But, that would require a compassionate compromise on the part of the formerly non-death-cult Republicans.

So, no.

[Grins]

35. Dow dropped 600 on the news

Our genius businessman president.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

36. cuz nancy said she didnt want manuchin on the hill.

and who can blame her?

[mshasta]

37. evil creature

he got the best care-now screw the rest

[gratuitous]

39. He didn't pull the plug, he took a hostage

Isn't that presidential?

[maryellen99]

40. He's knows he's dying and has decided to take us down with him nt

[duforsure]

45. He knows he will lose the election now,

So watch now he'll promise the world , but he's likely planning ways to hurt us now. He's done that in business for decades when he doesn't get his way. He's also mentally incapable of doing his job now, and pissed his health is failing him now. He is not well now.

[Sympthsical]

46. When he loses, he'll pout and refuse to do it

I love the whole, “Vote for me or else,” vibe he has going there.

[Politicalgolfer]

48. Time for Biden & Dem Candidates to Promise Stimulus

....package first thing if they are elected! You know after the election Trump will laugh in our faces, give us or states nothing & shovel every goddamn dime to himself and the rich😠

[Initech]

49. What a piece of shit!!!!

Seriously, Donny, fuck off.

[crickets]

50. The 25th Amendment wasn't really on the table until today.

People have been tap dancing around it, but even last night's Covida performance was going to go by with little challenge. This is different, though. What an idiot to bring this on himself in such spectacular fashion. Now it's only a question of how long and how far the people around him will let this go before invoking the 25th. Will the family break first, or will a few of the Republican Congress members find a spine and get involved? I hope they make up their minds soon, because this is ridiculous.

[demmiblue]

51. BTW, three days ago:

[mvd]

52. We have an evil, crazy, psychopath in the WH

I don’t consider myself that kind of person, but I honestly don’t care if he dies. No one should have tolerated this guy. If only more of the Repuke Party was like the Lincoln Project, things would have been different. And if only the media was stronger.
