President Donald Trump on Saturday signed a series of executive orders aimed to expand coronavirus economic relief to Americans.
The president's four orders extend unemployment benefits, provide a payroll tax holiday, defer student loan payments through 2020 and extend the federal moratorium on evictions. "We're going to save American jobs and provide relief to the American workers," Trump said at a press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Democrats have insisted they will not support a bill that does not extend the $600 per week benefit. Senate Republicans released a bill that would set the payment at $200 per week through September. Then, it would change to 70% wage replacement.
Taxes will increase regardless Demonrats want a tax increase People will be filing bankruptcy / coronavirus Companies are filing for aid

It means we're fucked! If trump wants to thin out old or sick people well he's on the right track with it. The answer you seek is impeachment was an option go for treason. Why look at the state of our country how many people died and nothing but heartaches.
This man is DESPERATE to win re-election
What a horribly dishonest way to frame this. These acxomplish next to nothing and he tanked the negotiations to look like he's doing this.
We're Nettie k hungry facing eviction s and those rich useless fucks are still arriving about giving us some money now I believe their on Bactrim again
$600 very important for us we need it so badly please
He’s shoving this down American’s throats whether we think it’s good enough or not.
The Democrats are holding are money hostage over politics!!!
Where is it? Where is my tax refund When is the plug going to be pulled on the swamp!!? This is all BS!! And now we're all starving as the rich get even more richer!!!
Good!💪💪💖
Congress needs to get their crap together, meanwhile Dems are holding us hostage
thanks mr fake president for bankrupting america as you bankrupted 6 times your own co
They mean nothing....stop 'reporting' them as if they will actually help.....
I think he should also allow people to start collecting full retirement benefits at age 62 so that the high risk population can stay home and not work anymore. Give the senior community a break, let them stay home.
solusnan1 Good enough for toilet paper
Trump is draining Social Security!
TRUMP DEFUNDED MEDICARE... During a pandemic that is mostly affecting people on Medicare... leaving medicare to fail for everyone. Essentially Trump said 'Screw them all, I can afford to pay for myself'. Bottom line, Trump gave his corp a 8% tax break.
Hey Republicans, stop playing chicken with our lives and get to work.
The Treasury Department said Monday that the deficit hit $864 billion last month, an amount that surpassed most annual deficits in the nation’s history. The gap for the entire previous fiscal year was $984 billion. The previous monthly deficit record was April with $738 billion.
enough of your conspiring with this corruption, normalizing this insanity. These EO are about tax payer $$$ and Congress controls that. We need SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer and Media to stop allowing GOP corruption! Why haven’t nytimes MSNBC CNN gone after Mitch?

So anyone get the $400 yet? Are your meds half price now? Or y’all still waiting? 🤔
Translation: no one is getting any money. Have a good night.
His deal is such bs! Only those who make $100 or more get the $300 and those who got under that doesn’t get anything!
He wants to kill Social Security & Medicare if re elected. How fucking scary is that?
The picture 👆 of trumps stubby finger and thumb above sums it up. The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer under trump.
It means he is getting rid of social security. We understand his tactics.
Why does Congress Suck so much 🌭?
Fuck that shit, I’ve been paying into Social Security and Medicare for years, if he does away with them both, I want all the money back that I put into it.
Does it mean another stimulus payment?
All it means is there trying to stop SS Medicare Republican robbers of peoples money
Tricky move to gain votes after realizing is loosing the presidential powers due to erratic and aggressive decisions about pandemic era
But where's the money that I was awarded TWO MONTHS AGO?!!? It isn't fucking working, there's too fucking many of us. UI UBI UniversalBasicIncome
Why would you give Police department a pay cut they only make $69k to $116k The police chief only makes $116k Protesters say defund the police and the Democrats actually do it . Are the protesters and the Democrats in the same loop
So weak and ineffective, pathetic
Ummmmmm nope. Only Congress.
I doubt it. Means nothing. It's a paper with his signature it's all for show because he's desperate
The tax holiday is for the people MD Unemployment. Trying to turn it around sorry it didn't work.
Best president ever
Instead of continuing to pillage and add to our deficit, how about he puts forward a plan to stop the fucking pandemic from spreading?! Absolutely no leadership.... WorstPresidentEver
Dems not coming to an agreement in Congress, they are the majority vote.. is the cause of a limited executive order from the president. demshateamerica
I expect better, CNBC. How about reporting the actual facts and not just clickbait headines. Do your damn job or shutter your doors. The media is part of why we're in this mess. It's time for accountability and integrity.
What it means for my money is that I’ll still foot the bill. Doesn’t really matter if it’s Congress or executive fiat.
I wish he would sign an Executive Order saying the Bears have to extend Allen Robinson’s contract.
So silly
So no stimulus check, we have to pay back the taxes, ending social security, ending medicare and the unemployment relief is toothless. Sounds like he screwed us.
Someone tell navient. They’re still proceeding as though loans kick back in next month despite this EO. studentdebt DebtCrisisOrg unemployedGraduates
Trump is an employer of the People. Biden is unemployed and pays anarchists under the table.
you mean because congress didn't sell out to the thieves in office? trump is holding us hostage and i'm glad that congress is fighting against our attacker Your narrative here stinks, try harder
Finally.. Is that means my unemployment checks are safe?
Him signing doesn't matter because it's worthless just like the whole freaking administration.
Trumps executive orders, not legal. Only Congress can authorize the expenditure of Funds.
It's a disaster
It means nothing cause we don’t have our welfare checks yet. It’s called separation of powers. Mr trump is jus one guy. He did call for the killing of Middle East guy.
“If you can't make a good deal with a politician, then there's something wrong with you. You're certainly not very good. And that's what we have representing us. They will never make America great again.” ~ Donald J. Trump [06.16.15] TheArtOfTheCon
It means you ain’t getting it
After Republicans refused to help out the American people.
Trump: “Its actually not yuge, its only this big. But its fantastic.”
Yes Trump doesn’t have that power. But what everyone is failing to see, Is that now the focus is on Trump not allowed to do this & not on the people who need the money2pay for food, bills, etc. It’s just diverting our attention from the fact that people still are not being helped
Pelosi & Democratic House Members have gone on vacation till mid September. Her & Senator Schumer should have accepted the unemployment benefits extension offered & continued negotiations. $3.4 TRILLION DOLLARS for a progressive wish list during a global pandemic is unrealistic.
🇺🇸🇺🇸✌
Your headline is misleading.
This is really bad. This is just a way to cut social security and medicare if he gets re-elected.
Does it look like SpeakerPelosi cares?
Anyone who isn't already rich and that thinks FredsFailure is gonna help them is DEAD WRONG! This is an attemp to destroy SocialSecurity Medicare! Kill you and the FirstResponders and destroy the USPS! TreasonousTrump is a RussianAsset hell bent on the end of HumanRights
😫😜😖😢😢😚
'Go ahead and sue, so we can blame you for taking away money from hard-working Americans'. Wait, I thought you assholes assumed we were lazy bums that didn't want to work, thus implementing the '$400 get-a-job incentive'
The executive order is illegal and will be met with a lawsuit.
Isn't that how dictators usually work?
Yes, he always wants to act without congress. Number one: There are still three branches of government. Number two: Who holds the Power of the Purse? I still think this is a Democracy with a written Constitution, correct?
Congress did not fail to reach a deal. DonTheCon POTUS realDonaldTrump through stevenmnuchin1 refused to negotiate, yesterday, so Hair Führer could show everyone his Re-election Unicorn, today, and pretend it’s real. But you assholes at CNBC already know this.
Any one who believes that the unemployed with out a purchased home of their own due kept down by system of employment regulated control process is fool for speaking words they dont need it when extended weekly funds are striped from them to fund pockets of congress 8/8/2020 M M B
Trump is Awesome.....
400 Dollars per Week Trump. Saving Americans from those nasty 600 Bucks per Week Democrats.
Seems like a violation of the Appropriations Clause
Awwwww pish posh ...you took it all and dumped it on the governors...i heard you clearly! What's the matter? Lose all your balls playing golf today?
Trump can't legally appropriate funds for unemployment. This will likely get challened in court
Green Monday then , easy money 💰
Esto es Lotacota , igual que acá
MAGA
$600 is back for unemployed Yes or No?
Where are all those constitutional purists on the right now that he’s taking the power of the purse away from the House? Crickets.
Absolutely worthless
After engineering the collapse of relief talks by sending Mnuchin and meadows instead of letting senate Repubs do their jobs, now Trump wants to ride in on a white horse like the Lone fucking Ranger to enter an executive order to save the day. shitshow
This man is off his rocker, claiming the democrats blocked this shit. They had these plans- far more generous ones- months ago, and this egotistical maniac is up there claiming it’s all his/GOPs gift to us. He’s trying to defend social security and blame it on COVID/economy.
This tweet is very misleading. Please do your job.
Resign
He couldn't convince Congress to pass a law. He isn't as good at making deals as he claims to be.
Here come the trump victory laps from a manufacture-red crisis. Don’t you buy it America. Don’t eat this shit he’s feeding you!
Trump sounds very unwell, desperate.
TrumpDementia
After the republicans purposely refused to agree to a deal to give this political event to Trump.
NO HE DID NOT. He does not have the power to do that. YOU KNOW THIS (or should) - CALL OUT THE LIE. USE YOUR WORDS ...
That is not what this is, you hacks.
