    Washington Examiner correspondent: Trump has 'the upper hand' politically after signing executive order


    President Trump gained the "upper hand" Saturday and helped his reelection chances by signing four executive orders aimed at delivering relief to Americans struggling with the economic fallout of the coronavirus, according to the Washington Examiner's chief congressional correspondent.

    "He definitely helped his cause by doing this, because what he's doing is two things," Susan Ferrechio said on "America's Election HQ." "He's taking away a talking point from Democrats who keep talking about the Republicans as being unwilling to help people."


    I think Democrats are in a tough spot if they sue over this, even though they may have, you know, a good cause behind them to do so with the payroll taxes," Ferrechio said. "It'll look like they're suing to stop unemployment, rental eviction abatement, other things are really important to voters. So I think the president, you know, if this were a chess move that, you know, he's got a little bit of the upper hand right now politically."
    Doing this by EO is different than doing this by an act of congress, and so a lot of this may unravel on its own due to legal technicalities that states have to respect especially with regard to distributing money.

    - He had a choice.
    - These EOs actually deal with budgetary issues, which is cons utionally reserved for Congress.
    - Obama EOs dealt with enforcement on a department run by the executive, which clearly doesn't have the cons utional deficiencies.
    - The American people put Pelosi and Schumer there, after Trump failed to keep control of Congress
    - The only thing "we" are fighting is the virus.
    - Clearly Trump does not give one about the people. To the tune of 200k people dead. He cares about winning an election.

    Verdict: 2/10, fake news.

    I think the student loan deferments are legal because it's through dept of education ( that's how water planned on doing student loan forgiveness) . Because it's a payroll tax deferment not holiday that one is legal too. The unemployment is, 100 % not legal though

    Yeah, not saying all his EOs are uncons utional, just those that have to do with the purse. Was pointing out that not all EOs are the same.

    Also, the last time Barry did the DACA EOs, he got sued by all the Republican AGs... so kinda ironic to now about reactions to EOs, tbh...

    Devos simply won't allow loan deferral. She is already a defying court order about loan payments.

    Why critics think Trump's executive order on evictions is 'deeply misleading' aka LIE


    it's a weak move that doesn't actually extend a moratorium.

    merely directs the the Treasury Department and the Department of Housing and Urban Development

    to consider taking action,

    the order instructs the two departments to look into identifying federal funds that could potentially provide assistance to renters and homeowners

    the payroll tax deferral order was overplayed, since taxpayers will still ultimately owe the money next year.

    if he’s elected again we’re going to see a new level of laziness from the Oval Office.

    Check quality of the sycophants sucking Trash's

    Trump adviser says God created executive orders to save Americans from 'divided government'

    Peter Navarro ...
    was courted to the role because Jared Kushner
    saw his name on Amazon

    His main recent career has been Saying Things On Television, most of which continues to be proven wrong.
    But he knows which policies do and do not come from directly from God,

    a remarkable power that has nonetheless proven unhelpful in formulating actual government policies.

    Trump asked the governor of South Dakota if he could be put on the federal monument of Mount Rushmore.

    He's really stupid.

    In your opinion what has he done, if anything, do deserve a spot on Mount Rushmore with Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and TR?
