According to a report from MSNBC’s Steve Benen, the only thing standing between desperate Americans and businesses hoping for more stimulus relief due to the coronavirus pandemic is Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

As his report notes, McConnell has drawn a line in the sand and is refusing to negotiate with Democratic leaders, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) even though they have a powerful ally: President Donald Trump.

Democrats are pushing for a larger stimulus package that will not only help desperate companies with the Paycheck Protection Program, but also one that covers “struggling states and municipalities, financially strapped hospitals, and families relying on food stamps.”

As the Hill reported, the president explained to lawmakers on Thursday that he doesn’t have a problem with that.

1. 'con splits are good

2. I think he's putting that BS out that he's siding with the Democrats,

And is likely behind McConnell's position to not give the people anything. He loves putting out propaganda over the truth. His claims are almost away's the opposite of what he says.
