I think the main take away here is that while Trump is proclaiming what he wants to do by executive order and make a public announcement, the DEMS are already planning on challenging him in court. The courts have not been on Trump's side.
Stimulus talks break down on Capitol Hill as negotiators walk away without a deal Negotiations over the next stimulus package intended to bolster the economy and help struggling Americans pay their bills have stalled on Capitol Hill with Democrats and Trump administration officials walking away after talks broke down on Friday and devolved into partisan finger-pointing.
No additional discussions are planned after nearly two weeks of daily meetings, and lead White House negotiators Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin say they are recommending President Donald Trump move ahead with a series of executive orders aimed at extending the federal moratorium on evictions, continuing federal unemployment benefits and suspending the payroll tax.
"(We) will recommend to the President based upon our lack of activity today to move forward with some executive orders," Mnuchin said Friday.
The executive orders are expected to meet fierce resistance from Democrats who plan to challenge them in court. Democrats warn that executive action taken will be insufficient to address the extent of the economic and public health crisis faced by Americans during the pandemic. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/07/politics/stimulus-talks-coronavirus/index.html
