President Trump in a video posted to Twitter on Tuesday night demanded that lawmakers amend the coronavirus stimulus package they passed Monday to include $2,000 checks for individuals instead of $600 checks while also insisting that wasteful and unnecessary items be cut from the year-end spending package that was attached to the pandemic aid.
The president, meanwhile, doubled down on his baseless claims that he won the presidential election in a magnificent landslide and attacked the two most powerful Republicans in the U.S. Senate because they ve acknowledged that President-elect Biden won the election.
Trump s broadsides against his own party, unproven election claims and 11th-hour stimulus demands after essentially being absent through the entire negotiating process continued his pattern of sowing chaos in the waning days of his presidency as he s failed to publicly accept that he will be leaving the White House in less than a month.
