PALM BEACH (AP) – President Donald Trump spent Christmas Eve golfing in Florida after throwing a grenade threatening to blow up a massive relief and government funding bill and force the government to shut down amid an epidemic.
Failure to agree to the bill could result in the rejection of millions of Americans on the verge of a check.
On Thursday, the first day of the winter vacation, Trump had no events on his public schedule, but traveled to his Palm Beach Golf Club, where he found CNN cameras on the links. No details of his day’s schedule were given to reporters, but he said, “President Trump will continue to work tirelessly for the American people as the holiday season approaches. Her schedule includes many meetings and calls. “
Trump’s departure came at a time when Washington was still clinging to his surprise, demanding eleven-hour demands that congressional leaders negotiate for months to give most Americans CO 2,000 Covid relief checks – his own party members agreeing for more than 600 members. The idea was quickly rejected By House Republicans, during a rare Christmas Eve session, putting the proposal in limbo.
The bilateral settlement was considered a completed deal and the GOP was approved by the White House. Leaders were reassured that Trump had backed him after he received drastic approval in the House and Senate this week. If Trump refuses to sign the deal, which is linked to a 1. 4.1 trillion government funding bill, it will force the federal government to shut down, in addition to delaying aid checks, to curb unemployment benefits and the most dire straits of boycott defense. Nationwide epidemic.
Republicans had the last raised middle finger of the president who is shouting about the damage done to President-elect John Biden on November 3 and trying to come up with new, increasingly aggressive plans to overthrow the Democratic election results. He was angered by colleagues such as his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, who flew to Florida on Air Force One with the president.
Republicans in Congress, who believe Trump’s aggression has been the focus of attention, have given their support to Biden’s victory, citing the futile claims of mass voter fraud before the congressional vote in Electoral College College on Jan. 6.
In Florida, Trump continued to rail against the results, complaining to members that they had been robbed of the election and expressing frustration over the year-end spending bill.
“At today’s meeting in Florida, everyone was asking why Republicans don’t steal weapons and fight as Democrats steal while running for president.” Trump tweeted that he was back at his private Mar-a-Lago club. “Especially in the Senate, they said, where you helped 8 senators win their race.”
“I’ll never forget!” He wrote in another,
The statements stressed concerns that Trump is negotiating to punish legislators for what he sees as insufficient support loyalty.
Trump has provided no credible evidence to support his election claims, which have also been denied by a long list of officials, from former Attorney General William Barr to Republican governors, judges and local election administrators.
Meanwhile, a record number of coronavirus outbreaks in the nation have led to infections and hospitalizations and now more than 327,000 people have died. And millions are now facing the prospect of spending the holidays alone or struggling to make ends meet, without adequate income, food or shelter due to the economic toll of the epidemic.
On the occasion of the holiday, President and First Lady Melania Trump tweeted a pre-recorded video message in which she wished Americans a Merry Christmas and thanked the first responders and members of the military.
“As you know, this Christmas is different than the years,” said Mrs. Trump, who inspired “kindness and courage.”
Trump praised the dose now being given and thanked those responsible. “It’s really a Christmas miracle,” he said.
Meanwhile, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Munuchin are trying to defend the year-end law to stop the closure. Democrats will call House lawmakers from Washington to Washington on Monday over Trump’s $ 2,000 proposal, although he is likely to die in the GOP-controlled Senate. They are also considering Monday’s vote on a stop-gap measure to at least avoid a federal shutdown and keep the government going until Biden’s inauguration on January 20.
In addition to the relief investigation, the Covid bill was passed which would establish a temporary $ 300 for a week-long supplemental employment benefit, provide a new round of assistance for hard-hit businesses, restaurants and theaters, and provide funding for schools. And to assist in the distribution of covid vaccine.
