TEXAS REPUBLICAN: PROCESS ON COROANVIRUS RELIEF BILL WAS DISGRACE TO TAXPAYERSTrump argued that the relief bill in its current form, which is included with $1.4 trillion in omnibus spending, has "almost nothing to do with COVID." "They were only given a deduction for others to use in business, their restaurant, for two years," Trump added. "Maybe that administration will be me," Trump added. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, and Rashida Tlaib, D-MI, both issued tweets noting that the pair "already co-wrote the COVID amendment for $2,000 checks, so it’s ready to go."
