WASHINGTON: Unemployment assistance expired this weekend for millions of Americans when the country’s outgoing president played golf, complained about fashion magazines discriminating against his wife, and continued his tirade against elections that his own party says lost.
The political stalemate in Washington, caused primarily by the president and the fiscally conservative wing of the Republican Party, meant that Americans were even denied the $ 600 stimulus aid in addition to the $ 300-a-week unemployment relief contained in a spending bill. what Triumph cheated himself while demanding a payment of $ 2,000, which Democrats.
But the domestic economic crisis that emerged from the Republican spat, which could also cause millions of Americans to lose their homes due to the expiration of an eviction moratorium, took a backseat on more frivolous issues. Trump relayed a complaint from a right-wing media outlet that “elitist snobs in the fashion press have kept the most stylish First Lady in American history off their magazine covers for 4 years in a row.” adding that the First Lady is “the greatest of all time” and scolding “fake news” for ignoring her.
That sparked a cascade of derision from critics who scoffed at her ratings or lack thereof, and reveled in the fact that the former First Lady Michelle Obama – who was subjected to racist ridicule by white supremacists – appeared a dozen times on the cover of fashion magazines. “In 26 days we will have a first lady, a president, a doctor, a real human couple and dogs in the White House,” read a tweet in response to Trump’s complaint.
Critics of the outgoing president also set him on fire for going on vacation and playing golf as millions of Americans head into a dark winter without financial help due to stagnation in Washington. Although aides to the president claimed he was holding multiple official meetings while at his home in Mar-a-Lago in Florida, photos surfaced of the president, belly hanging over his belt, playing golf on Friday. By one count, Trump has hit the golf course more than 300 times during his four-year presidency that will end on January 20.
Trump, however, is suggesting that he won’t go without a fight, tweeting “History will remember. Never give up. See everyone in DC on January 6.” That is the day a joint session of Congress chaired by the vice president is scheduled to formally count the electoral votes of the states and declare a new president elected. Since states have already certified that Joe biden has 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232, the event would normally be a formality, but Trump representatives are expected to create a scene with objections claiming the election was rigged.
“A young military man working in Afghanistan told me that the elections in Afghanistan are much safer and much better organized than the 2020 United States elections. Ours, with its millions and millions of corrupt mail ballots, was the election of a third world country. Fake president! “Trump tweeted on Saturday morning, continuing his tirade against an electoral process that he accepted when he cast him as the winner in 2016, despite losing the popular vote by almost 3 millions.
“The US Supreme Court has been totally incompetent and weak in the massive electoral fraud that took place in the 2020 presidential election. We have absolute PROOF, but they don’t want to see it, not ‘stop’ they say. Yes we have corrupt elections, we have no homeland! “he added, despite the fact that his campaign failed to defend his victory in dozens of cases he presented in lower courts, many of which were summarily dismissed even by judges that he and his administration had appointed. .
The defeated president lashed out at his own party and administration while arguing that he had won to fewer and fewer supporters. “The Department of” Justice “and the FBI have done nothing about the 2020 Presidential Election Voter Fraud, the largest scam in our nation’s history, despite overwhelming evidence. They should be ashamed … If a Democratic presidential candidate had a rigged and stolen election, with evidence of such acts at a level never seen before, the Democratic senators would consider it an act of war and fight to the death. Mitch and the Republicans do NOTHING, they just want to quit. come in. DON’T FIGHT! “he complained.
Trump also characterized “the $ 740 defense bill” (he forgot the billion) as “a gift to China, Russia and big technologies”, even though it was forged by his administration and approved by the big republicans. “It fails to end dangerous Section 230 internationally, it will not allow us to bring our troops back home (where they belong), it renames and destroys our national fortresses and monuments, and it makes 5G nearly impossible!” added.
