How do republicans make sense of Trump wanting to push for another round of stimulus payments yet pretends COVID isn’t a crisis?

I mean which is it? Is it a crisis? Trump definitely doesn’t act like it. He is only pushing for more checks because he desperately wants voters to like him. It’s pretty pathetic.

Republicans generally complain about this kind of socialism yet they won’t with these stimulus checks for two reasons:

1) Trump wants it so therefore it’s a great idea.

2) Welfare like this is obviously excused by republicans because, well, they are people who are getting it lol. It’s not like any republican will say no to their check. They only complain when other people get free monies. They will gladly accept their check yet continue the double speak of COVID being no biggie.

 
If it turned out that all the news was false and all of Covid19 was an absolute hoax (and mind you, I'm not saying that I believe this to be the case in the slightest), that wouldn't change the damage that the shutdown has done to the economy.

Trump is pushing for more stimulus payments because people are broke, not because they're sick. Whether or not Covid19 is as much of a health crisis as they say is irrelevant to the reality of peoples' finances, and Trump's opinions on the matter don't dictate whether or not state governers are going to shut down again/extend ongoing shutdown rules. Don't confuse the concept of "related" with the concept of "directly causal." It'll fuck your perceptions all up.

Because they are broke huh? So Trump arbitrarily decides people need money huh? Not because of the virus?
 
That's right. Let's print everyone a check for a million dollars. Let's enjoy ourselves as we burn down in flames.
Trump definitely wants a bigger check. He wants more than the democrats are offering. You should be full of faux outrage but you aren’t because it’s Trump.

Lol. It doesn't matter. Shrub, brown buffoon, and orange man pillaged the treasury. We got endless wars, trinkets, deficits, massive debt. What do you care. Oh wait, you're betting on retard joe.
 
Covid is a crisis...Dems helped to make it one...bigger and bigger and bigger...and then they sent in the rioters that infected who knows how many people....businesses need the nations help right now....we are always first on the scene with aid to tragic events all over the world...now its time we help our own citizens....if you libs and debt fearing republicans want to make this a bad thing you do so at your own peril......its time to help Americans....agree or disagree?....

The virus didn't take everybody's money away, genius. The shutdown did. Viruses, in the biological sense of the word, don't have the capacity to raid your bank account or lift your wallet.

Sure, the governers shut down because of the virus, but since Trump isn't the one deciding on whether or not to shut down, the fact that he doesn't consider the virus to be the threat that the MSM does isn't in any sort of confliction with his recognition that the economy is in the shitter.

Stop being willfully dense about this, I know you're not as dumb as you're playing.

Lol so what you are saying is that it is the fault of democrats that people need more stimulus checks? Wow that is just precious lol.

Lol so let’s pretend we never did a shut down and every thing was just normal from the beginning. Just how much bigger do you think the death toll would be? I mean right now it is 130k. If we did NOTHING to slow the spread. How much higher would it be?

No not at all....I blame the virus and the infestation of the virus by folks in the streets not social distancing....businesses were just reopening and the protest started and shut them back down....now the virus is back....and they have to close again....so I support more checks to American small businesses...why don't you?....why?....don't you care enough?....

WTF does that have to do with what we're talking about? Our argument wasn't about whether it was right or wrong to shut down the economy, and at no point in anything I've posted in this thread did I venture an opinion on that matter. I said that the economy is where it is regardless of whether Trump acknowledges the threat of the virus. Even if he believed that Covid19 didn't exist and the whole thing was a lie cooked up by China and the Dems, it wouldn't force him to believe that the shutdowns had never happened and that everybody was still going to work like normal.

Honestly the proposition that it's somehow impossible to simultaneously believe that the threat that the virus poses to our health is greatly exaggerated, AND that our reaction to it has hurt the economy, is so insanely God damn ridiculous that I'm having trouble believing that you actually believe it. These two thoughts aren't even REMOTELY contradictory.
 
Well it's either help those who got fucked from this stinking virus..........or Declare War on China and the Globalist and nobody will care about the damage done from this ChiCom whore virus.

I say lets just go to War and say fuck it............Sarcasm noted for idiots too dumb to get it.

First off I disagree with the lock down and the stimulus.

Second, I don't care about Trump.

Third, if the government forces a shutdown of the economy, then it is somewhat logical that the group causing the damage, should pay for the damage, does it not?

The real solution is stop all the nonsense, and end all restrictions on the economy.

The point I am obviously making is that the economy and the virus are completely intertwined issues. Therefore Trump wanting new stimulus checks is hypocritical if he wants to pretend the virus isn't a big deal. If the economy was never shut down, we'd still be in the shitter because many more people would be currently dead than 135k.

Let's pretend we never did a lockdown and from the beginning carried on like there was no virus at all. Just how much bigger do you think the death toll would be now if we never did any shutdown whatsoever? Would you really believe it would be 135k which is what the current death toll is?

It's simple, you give the public, a few handouts until such time as they can get back TO WORK!
