The President is trying to have it both ways by calling for a new round of stimulus checks, knowing that it won't happen unless the Dems renegotiate a Relief Bill. He's trying to put the onus on them, meanwhile, the Bill stays stalled.
Coronavirus stimulus checks: President Trump calls for 'direct payments' to 'all Americans'
Yahoo Money -- President Trump called for additional stimulus checks to be sent to Americans amid stalled talks with Democrats over a new bill to address various issues related to the coronavirus pandemic.
Both Republicans and Democrats agree that another round of stimulus checks should be included in any legislation, which is stalled after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) ceded the GOP-side of negotiations to the White House and Trump attempted to bypass negotiations with unilateral action on a looming eviction crisis, student loans, extra weekly unemployment benefits, and payroll taxes.
The president tweeted that he had directed Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin "to get ready to send direct payments ($3,400 for family of four) to all Americans." The tweet added that Democrats are holding up the stimulus payments, though there are several actual disagreements unrelated to stimulus checks.
According to experts, the president could not legally include this popular relief aid in executive orders or memoranda like he attempted to do with other issues.
