A new attempt to restart economic relief negotiations between the White House and Democrats ended just minutes after it began on Wednesday, with President Trump appearing to cast doubt on the whole process by announcing a deal is not going to happen.
Just a few days earlier, he had suggested the he was open to a new round of talks.
In declaring the whole process over, Trump used a news conference to criticize Democrats proposals for funding election preparations and the Postal Service as part of a broader spending measure. Those were among multiple issues that divided the parties during two weeks of negotiations that initially collapsed Friday before a failed attempt to revive them Wednesday.
The bills not going to happen because they dont even want to talk about it, because we cant give them the kind of ridiculous things that they want that have nothing to do with the China virus, Trump said at the White House during an evening news briefing, using a term criticized as racially insensitive.

Trump's history of "negotiating" involves either threatening people, refusing them to pay them for services already rendered, or siccing lawyers on them until they give up. He doesn't have a clue how to actually make a deal with someone who won't cave to those tactics.

People are desperate for economic help, and shouldn't be held hostage because of the USPS. The USPS is important, but needs to be fought for on a separate battlefield.
It's bad enough that Americans are only getting $1200, compared to what people in other countries get. But now, even that small amount is being held hostage.

(24,259 posts)GOP says only $1T, Dems passed a $3T+ bill in May but said they'd come down to $2T and meet the cons half way. The 'CONS refused to negotiate and, as usual, are blaming the Dems for not caving in to the 'Cons unreasonable demand of only $1T.
