It extends to yours:

– Unless Republicans have a death wish, they should approve the $ 2,000 payments as soon as possible, writes Trump, who also emphasizes that “it’s the right thing to do.”

– $ 600 is not enough, Trump continues.

This comes after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell halted attempts by Democrats to get a quick vote to increase support for the crisis for Americans.

Unusual situation

Just before Christmas, parties in Congress agreed to a $ 900 billion crown crisis package. Then the president sat on his hind legs. However, he reluctantly signed the package on Sunday, after being persuaded by Republicans and vowing that Congress would address his demands, including the one-time increase in support.

The conflict has led to an unusual situation: Trump and the Democrats are working for the same result.

A day ago, the House of Representatives, where the Democrats have a majority, agreed with Trump to increase the sole support in the crisis package. Now it is up to the Senate to decide.

House agrees with Trump

Trump’s party has been plunged into chaos and conflict over his demand for increased support, writes The Guardian, while the AP news agency writes that the president’s demands have caused a deep divide among Republicans.

An increasing number of Republicans have given their support to the proposal, including the two senators who will participate in the new elections in Georgia on January 5. However, the majority of Republicans in the House appear to be skeptical about the spending increase, although they do not want to challenge Trump.

“Chaotic”

Rather than allow for quick clarification, McConnell wants the Senate to start a process to consider larger payments, as well as other demands made by President Trump, the New York Times writes, which also notes that McConnell said nothing about how or when the Senate must evaluate the president’s demands.

McConnell’s decision to bundle all of Trump’s demands could destroy the possibility that some of them will be approved, the newspaper writes.

While Democrats support larger payments, they are unlikely to support a hasty overhaul of the legal shield social media companies currently have. Democrats will also oppose anything that could be seen as an attempt to undermine the outcome of the presidential election.

McConnell has led Congress to “a chaotic end of the year” and is preventing the prosecution of another priority issue, Trump’s veto of the defense budget, the AP news agency notes.

Colleague of the Match: – Furious Attacks and Wild Conspiracy Theories

– Weak and tired

The House of Representatives voted to override Trump’s veto. The number of votes was 322 to annul the veto and 87 against. This means that about half of the Republicans chose to vote against Trump and join the Democrats in voting.

The Senate, which also requires a two-thirds majority, is expected to vote the same way later this week. Nor does this fall on good ground for the president, who reached out to his people on Twitter.

– Weak and tired Republican “leadership” will allow the poor defense budget to pass. (…) A shameful act of cowardice and total submission of the weak to Big Tech. Negotiate a better proposal or get better leaders, NOW!

He also referred to the Republican leaders as “pathetic.”

– I managed to elect many senators and congressmen and congressmen. I think they forgot!

– You must stop the campaign of chaos

Towards “big technology”

The president also reached out to Democrats and “big tech,” that is, big tech companies.

– Get rid of section 230. Don’t let “big tech” steal our country and don’t let the Democrats steal the presidential election.

Trump has demanded that Congress in the budget process should crack down on social media like Twitter and Facebook, which he says oppose him and the Republicans. Trump wants to end a clause in the 1996 law that protects IT giants from being sued by those who feel harmed on social media.

This is one of the reasons for his veto on the defense budget.
