President Trump appeared to threaten to veto the COVID-19 stimulus package that Congress passed almost 24 hours earlier, telling lawmakers to boost checks for Americans to $2,000 as well as "get rid of wasteful and unnecessary items" in the spending bill
Trump said "throughout the summer, Democrats cruelly blocked COVID relief legislation in an effort to advance their extreme left wing agenda and influence the election..."
"it's taken forever" to get a package and the bill passed "is much different than anticipated."
"It really is a disgrace," he added.
Then reeled off a list of disgusting 'pork' (read the details here) that has been piled into this record-breaking 5,593 page bill.
As Axios notes, many of the items Trump listed, such as foreign aid, which were not related to COVID-19 are not part of the coronavirus relief package. These form part of the government funding bill, which was passed alongside the coronavirus relief package.
Then he took a shot at Biden and the election
"Send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package and maybe that administration will be me and we will get it done."

No, we do not need a paltry sum from our government to help us. We need governments to stop spending money they dont have for the benefit of countries that want to see us destroyed. While I could give a shit less about Israel getting their money, I am a bit unhappy that they seem to be re-investing our tax dollars in buying US Treasuries.
We have the best government foreign money and foreign interests can buy.
