President Donald Trump criticized the latest $900 billion COVID-19 relief bill overwhelmingly passed by the Senate and House in a video posted to Twitter on Tuesday night, 12/22. Trump complained about the 5,000+ page piece of legislation saying it is a 'disgrace.' Trump outlined various programs that are part of the bill he disagrees with including several that will be sending millions of dollars to foreign countries. He also wants the direct payments to individuals to be much higher than the $600 in the bill. He wants Congress to amend the bill and "increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000, or $4,000 for a couple. I am also asking Congress to get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation and to send me a suitable bill." He said, "Send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package. And maybe that administration will be me."
