Mnuchin Says Trump to Take Executive Action After Talks Stall
(Bloomberg) -- Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he’ll recommend President Donald Trump move ahead with executive action on unemployment aid, evictions and student loans after another round of negotiations with Democrats on a virus relief plan ended without any agreement.
“The president would like to make a deal. Unfortunately, we did not make any progress today,” Mnuchin said after leaving a meeting Friday with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer.
Because talks are at a standstill, Mnuchin said the president should follow through with plan to restore a few of the provisions of the last stimulus bill that have expired.
Trump said Thursday he is considering acting to extend enhanced unemployment benefits, restore a moratorium on evictions and forbearance on student loans and suspend payroll-tax collections if Republicans and Democrats can’t come to terms on a new stimulus bill. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Trump was likely to take action “over the weekend.”

Oh fuck off. The House had a bill passed in May. There was plenty of time for the other side to negotiate.

Negotiate in BAD faith and then have Ass Face ride in on his white horse to save the day.
That is how they will frame this. The evil and bad Democrats wouldn't do anything for the American people, so Donnie had to step in.
And where's Mitch???
I don’t like to sound alarmist, but the republic is in danger.
