Mr. Trump is voicing concerns about the bill. I suspect it doesn't go far enough in giving everyone a free racing pony and a beautiful healthcare plan. Back to the drawing room, Mitch.

Covid relief: Trump demands changes to sign $900bn bill
The bill provides for a $600 payment to most Americans but Trump said he was asking Congress to increase the “ridiculously low” figure to $2,000, or $4,000 for a couple. However, it was Republican lawmakers who resisted higher payments.
“House Democrats have fought for months to provide relief to the American people, which Republicans rejected at every turn,” said the House majority leader, Steny Hoyer. “Now that the president has agreed to direct payments of $2,000, we will ask for unanimous consent to pass a bill this week to give Americans this assistance.”
The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, chimed in: “Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the president wanted for direct checks. At last, the president has agreed to $2,000 … Let’s do it!”
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also expressed support for approving the $2,000 direct payments.
