The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed Covid-relief legislation in May and again in October, but the Republican-controlled Senate blocked both. However, according to Trump, it was the Democrats who “cruelly blocked Covid-relief legislation,” implying that it’s the Democrats who came up with the “ridiculously low” $600 figure, when that amount was forced upon the bill by the Republicans in order to minimize costs. Combined with assertions by Trump that he won the election in a “magnificent landslide,” the President really is living in his own world.
