Upon departing the Oval Office for Ohio, I’ve notified my staff to continue working on an Executive Order with respect to Payroll Tax Cut, Eviction Protections, Unemployment Extensions, and Student Loan Repayment Options.

Payroll Tax Cuts = Social Security cut

Remember when Trump promised not to cut Social Security? Well, our social security comes directly from the payroll tax. If it is cut, that means that social security will be cut.

most people did not have $400.00 saved for an emergency. With the pandemic and unemployment where it's at, do you think that number has gone up or down?

the princess grafter thinks all that has to happen is for people to change course in their careers changing to a different non existent one.

Trump likes it when people call him "sir." You're four days overdue on your latest promise for a comprehensive health care plan you said was going to happen on Day One.

Jared the Failure is not included in this committee, too. He has done enough damage with the rest of his porojects. Are the golf courses closed today, so tRump can tweet?
