Pelosi: Trump executive actions 'are illusions'
By Zack Budryk - 08/09/20 09:34 AM EDT

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Sunday that a series of coronavirus executive actions announced by President Trump are “illusions” rather than lasting solutions.

“What the president did is unconstitutional slop,” Pelosi said on “Fox News Sunday,” adding that rather than effectively getting more money to the unemployed and halting evictions, “these are illusions.”

Host Chris Wallace countered that Trump made the announcement amid an extended impasse over the next round of coronavirus relief in Congress.

“Having no bill at all, not coming to any agreement wasn’t going to provide any of that either,” he said.

Pelosi defended Democratic leaders’ efforts in negotiations, saying they had offered compromises.

“What the president does doesn’t even accomplish anything he sets out to do in the categories he did, but we said to [Republicans], we’ll come down a trillion [dollars], you come up a trillion [dollars] and we’ll be able to have an agreement that meets the needs of the American people,” she said.

“Congress doesn’t want to govern. Trump can lose in court on these EOs. That doesn’t matter. When he governs and gets hit by court, looks heroic. The fight is what counts.”

Or, Trump can roll into a ball and let the rats take the initiative playing the same old PR game.

Biden claims the payroll tax action is an attack on Social Security. Maybe Biden and Pelosi should agree on talking points before shooting off their mouths.

I think that is why Trump appeals to me so much... you may block him from one side but he will continue the battle from several different angles and not give up..
