A pretend populist -

He supported the 2017 billionaire tax cut.      It's the
same old minority-rule story - say one thing and do the
opposite.

Trump finally signed.

How the grinches stole Christmas -

Trump might sign to publicize his 2024 campaign
announcement.    But if Republicans keep the Georgia
Senate seats, they won't need any more recovery funds for
individuals, only major corporate donors.

It's not for the voters

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/12/23/jobless-claims-trump-stimulus/

It's not for the Republican legislators.

Is it because he thinks a big enough home run right

Some commercial real estate is never coming back.  Retail
and consumer travel might recover, but office buildings
and business travel have been permanently crimped by
zoom, which is much cheaper, as many large corporations
have noted.

Democrats for tepid recovery.

Can bipartisan agreement be reached about anything?
Too many Trumpists' top priority is to dig up or make up
voter fraud to prove Trump won.   Trump will set the tone
