    It's amazing the hoops you jump threw to tie this to Biden.

    Biden's finance advisor?

    Really?

    Lets not start making **** up like OAN and Newsmax.

    Summers has no real influence on this administration and he is just one of many who could possibly have Bidens ear.

    I would like to take what you say seriously to get more perspectives on different issues but if you are now gonna go full trumper I can't take you seriously.

    He’s mad that congressional GOP wouldn’t back him to overturn the election. He’s mad that he’s seen as mostly sidelined in the deal. He’s probably extremely mad that America rejected him for a 2nd term.

    It’s amazing that the guy demand unwavering loyalty has zero care for those loyal to him and yet people still remain loyal to him.

    https://www.seattletimes.com/nation...ul-setback-as-president-shreds-stimulus-deal/

    ...

    Mnuchin had described the bipartisan deal as “fabulous” one day before Trump called it a “disgrace.”

    “Loyalty and assistance to President Trump generally gets rewarded with humiliation. This is how it ends for a lot of people who work for the guy,” said Brian Riedl, a conservative policy expert at the Manhattan Institute, a right-leaning think tank. “Secretary Mnuchin has been completely embarrassed.”


    At 12:59 p.m., Mnuchin tweeted a congratulatory message to congressional leaders, thanking them for their vote to approve “additional critical economic relief for American workers, families and businesses.”

    “I want to thank President Trump for his leadership,” Mnuchin wrote in a news release accompanying the tweet.

    Six hours later, Trump posted a tweet of his own, calling the bill a “disgrace” and demanding sweeping changes. He made no mention of Mnuchin, and aides say the two have barely spoken since.

    ...

    Trump decided to risk torpedoing the effort while raging against congressional Republicans on Twitter for not supporting his effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

    ...

    As the $900 billion stimulus package moved through Congress, Trump grew increasingly upset at media coverage that made him out to be largely sidelined in negotiations, two people briefed by White House officials said.

    ...

    He’s just angry at everybody and wants to inflict as much pain on Congress as possible,” one person briefed by White House officials on the matter said.

    The decision to torpedo the deal also reflects Trump’s willingness to undermine Mnuchin despite the treasury secretary’s largely unwavering deference to the president for four years.

    Well, at least he's consistent. If you are not nuke-attacking, you can't be an attacker.

    Which was probably the point of this charade, shotgun approach to some pay back for not voting enough times for him.

    All of this distraction from a terrible bill. Trump shouldn't have signed this trash until the money was ONLY going to Americans.
