JFC people are stupid.YES - Trump signed the COVID Relief bill (HR133)

After it is signed, he is sending the bill back to Congress using "RESCISSION"

"A Rescissions are a process available to the President to facilitate the cancellation of certain appropriated spending. The executive branch is legally required to spend money that Congress has appropriated, but the President may temporarily delay spending of budget authority (BA) the President views as not worthwhile, while asking Congress to consider cutting that spending"

In the WH statement, he worked a deal for Congress to investigate the election and vote on clause 230 and increase the payments to 2,000 per person. So, he delays the money in the bill or Congress has to re-work the bill.

Either way, unemployment is continued, Americans get some money and the government doesn't shut down
