US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he has instructed aides to stop negotiating on another round of COVID-19 relief until after the election. Trump tweeted that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was not negotiating in good faith and said he’s asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to direct all his focus before the election into confirming his U.S. Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett. President tweeted and said, “I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business”. The White House said last week that it was backing a $400 per week pandemic jobless benefit and dangled the possibility of a COVID-19 relief bill of $1.6 trillion.

President Trump initiated on getting back to the White House on Monday and promptly removed his mask despite likely spraying infectious particles in his wake. He kept the mask off as he entered the executive mansion into a room with several staffers. His aides posted a video in which he downplayed a virus that forced him to take a cocktail of powerful-but-experimental drugs and 2 rounds of supplemental oxygen when his vitals suddenly dipped two times on Friday and Saturday. Trump said in a video message, “Don’t let it dominate you. Don’t be afraid of it. You’re gonna beat it. We have the best medical equipment. We have the best medicines, all developed recently”.

Trump added, “Nobody that’s a leader would not do what I did. And I know there’s a risk, there’s a danger, but that’s OK. And now I’m better and maybe I’m immune. I don’t know. But don’t let it dominate your lives. Get out there. Be careful”. He tried to use the hot-button abortion issue to do so on Tuesday morning. President said, “Biden and Democrats just clarified the fact that they are fully in favor of (very) LATE TERM ABORTION, right up until the time of birth, and beyond – which would be execution. Biden even endorsed the Governor of Virginia, who stated this clearly for all to hear. GET OUT & VOTE!!! Wow. Joe Biden just took a more Liberal position on Roe v. Wade than Elizabeth Warren at her highest. He also wants to PACK our great United States Supreme Court. This is what the Dems will do”.
