Trump doesn't think things out. He reacts. This is petty vindictiveness, plain and simple. I'm not sure how it would make the Dems look bad, when they had a much larger bill sitting on McConnell's desk since may. I believe they even passed one that offered the $2ooo PER MONTH. Yes, this is to get back at not only McConnell, but al of the other Republicans who are starting to peel away from him.
