Liz Peek: Trump's big win on relief orders – here's why Pelosi, Schumer are so unhappy
Aug 10, 2020 2 mins, 0 secs

Washington Examiner chief congressional correspondent Susan Ferrechio says she thinks President Trump helped his chances for re-election by signing these coronavirus stimulus executive orders on Saturday because he took action in an emergency when Congress wouldn't act, which will resonate with voters!

Furious that Democrat leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were blocking a bill to help Americans through the COVID-19 crisis, President Trump stepped up and got the job done, all by himself.

Over the weekend, he issued four executive orders that would extend modified unemployment relief to millions who are out of work, protect many from eviction from their homes, provide continued relief from student loan debt and suspend payroll taxes for employers and those earning less than $100,000.

Pelosi called Trump’s measures “illusions”; sorry, Madam Speaker, for families in need, an extra $400 per week unemployment pay is absolutely real, and extremely welcome.

The president boxed the Democrats in – how can they possibly challenge his orders or take his mandated benefits away from people.

Instead of compromising on legislation that would immediately help Americans pummeled by the coronavirus, Pelosi and Schumer prioritized issues that had nothing to do with the well-being of the nation.

They pressed instead to ban ID requirements and signature verification for voters – measures that, as the president noted, would encourage increased fraud in our elections, and that Republicans would never accept.

Democrats know that creating jobs is Trump’s signature achievement, and also the most important issue to voters?

By blocking the next round of stimulus, they intentionally undermined the financial security of tens of millions of Americans.

They don’t care; their priority is beating President Trump.

That faux optimism is entirely manufactured, aimed at driving down turnout and fundraising from disheartened Republicans.  Democrats know their candidate’s brief surge is already fading.

What we do know is that Democrats were giddy to see Trump’s accomplishments – unemployment at a 50-year low, rising incomes and growth, a surge in manufacturing -- buried in the coronavirus rubble. They are terrified he might do it again, just in time for the election.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans are horrified by the destruction in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and other cities mismanaged by liberal Democrats.
