Trump golfs while the country burns.
Bernie Sanders echoed what many people are saying when he called President Donald Trump is ‘unbelievably cruel’ for not signing the coronavirus relief package while he golfs in Mar-a-Lago.
‘What the president is doing right now is unbelievably cruel,’ Sanders told ABC’s ‘This Week’ host Jonathan Karl in a Sunday interview.
‘Many millions of people are losing their extended unemployment benefits,’ the independent Vermont senator continued. ‘They’re going to be evicted from their apartments because the eviction moratorium is ending. We are looking at a way to get the vaccine distributed to tens of millions of people. There’s money in that bill.’
This comes as Republican Senator Pat Toomey blasted Trump as well saying that he will be remembered as a president of ‘chaos and misery and erratic behavior’ if he doesn’t sign the bill.
‘You don’t always get what you want, even if you are the president of the United States,’ the Pennsylvania senator said in reference to Trump’s demand for $2,000 stimulus checks.
