Trump Caves, Finally

President Donald Trump has signed a $900 billion pandemic relief package, ending days of drama over his refusal to accept the bipartisan deal that will deliver long-sought cash to businesses and individuals and avert a federal government shutdown.

I don't get what Trump thought he might achieve with his fit of childish pique. His own peole negotiated the bill, then he threw them all under the bus at the very end, before ultimately caving in. He says wants changes, but the second session of the 116th Congress ends in six days, so that's not happening.

Other than looking like a half-mad douchebag, what did he manage to accomplish?

  1. Either it was Trump's last "look at me and see what I can do"... or he and his friends are (again) able to anticipate market reaction. Dow/S&P are up almost 1% at the bell.

    Oh what am I saying. It was both. And a chance to hit back at Republicans who are finally tiring of his denial of reality.

  2. The trumpanzees aren't happy about this. The plan was to shut the government down. Then take over. Giving the demoncrats free money isn't part of the plan. But he knows what he's doing, it's 11 dimensional chess.

  4. He was counting on Steiner's panzers but the traitors all around him in the Reich Chancellery bunker lied and lied to him. Where is that lout Fegelein? Once golfing so bravely, now quaking in his bunker, the constant shaking and babbling and verbal diarrhea never ceasing. Soon it will be time for the black capsule and the the Walther PPK 9mm kurtz to the cranium for madman Q. Sic semper trumpia.
