There weren't very many moves for him to make, unfortunately.

Sign Outright, and look like you're giving up the fight

Veto Outright, and MSM / Congress plays the parade of Trump hating on COVID / unemployed people, removing some hope of normies supporting the Jan 6th+ maneuvers

Or This Move, which delays the poison past Jan 20th, disperses the good parts immediately, and forces Congress to consider Trumps remaining good ideas and take the hit from rejecting them outright.

This move was the best option, and is another reason why pedes cannot jump the gun on 24h rumor mongers who live their entire lives off of clickbait and hype.

I agree. It's definitely a controversial move to make, and I ended up posting a new thread just to try giving some understanding on it. I'm not in the room, so I don't have all the info going into it, but I know walking in that this was not a bill Trump wanted to have on his desk at all, and the blame for all of that crap rests solely on Congress.
