President Trump has had enough of Nancy Pelosi’s grandstanding and political games, and has announced that he is putting an end to stimulus legislation negotiations.
…request, and looking to the future of our Country. I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business. I have asked…

President Trump has announced that until Nancy Pelosi brings a reasonable compromise to the table, or even a basic bill offering stimulus checks to the American people, he and Congressional Republicans are done trying to negotiate.
The president tweeted: “If I am sent a Stand Alone Bill for Stimulus Checks ($1,200), they will go out to our great people IMMEDIATELY. I am ready to sign right now. Are you listening Nancy?” Many on the left are ignoring this tweet, and choosing instead to only report that the president cancelled talks for stimulus legislation, effectively lying to the American people by saying the president doesn’t care about stimulus checks.

Despite potential political fallout, the president ordered Republicans to end their negotiations with the Speaker of the House. Although this news may be bad for Americans who need the stimulus money, it may be a rude awakening for those on the left who still believe that Pelosi is looking out for their best interests.
Nancy Pelosi’s proposals for stimulus legislation have included items that are completely unrelated to the subject of the bill. This includes money for illegal immigrants, banning voter-ID, bailing out poorly run Democrat states, and other frivolous spending.
Republicans have pitched a bill that focuses solely on providing relief for Americans and business owners. Democrats have continuously rejected this legislation, stating that it does not go far enough.
President Trump has instructed Republicans to halt negotiations on a stimulus bill until after the election, perhaps hoping that Republicans will regain control of the House, and maintain control of the Senate, so that passing their legislation will be possible. The president has instead told the Senate to focus all of their efforts into confirming his Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett.
