President Donald Trump took executive action on Saturday to extend the weekly enhanced unemployment payment at a reduced level.
He signed a memorandum during a press conference on Saturday afternoon as the negotiations between the White House and the Democrats collapsed.
The new payment will be $400 per week. The federal government will cover 75 percent of the cost while the states will pay the rest, he said.
I'm not sure yet, but I think this might mean that the states will cover the remaining $200 of the original $600 pandemic unemployment assistant payment (PUA). I'm looking into this right now. I'll let you know as soon as I find out. $400 is so much better than the nothingness Congress was giving Americans suffering because they are being FORCED NOT TO WORK because businesses are FORCED to shut down. Americans are unemployed due to no fault of their own. People have living expenses and bills that need to be paid and had income suddenly cut off and snatched away from them BY STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. (emphasis mine)
The president said that some governors might not be happy with the actions, suggesting that he didn’t negotiate with all governors before the announcement.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) didn’t immediately respond to an email request for comment.
The president also, via executive orders or memorandums, deferred payroll tax for Americans earning less than $100,000 per year from Sept. 1, authorized The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to offer eviction protections to renters and homeowners, and extended the term of relief to student loan borrowers from Sept. 30 to the end of the year.
The payment—which was authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and was $600 per week on top of existing unemployment benefits—expired on July 31. The White House and the Democrats failed to reach a deal on extending the payment.
The White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin started negotiations with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Aug. 1.
“At this point, it’s clear Democrats want to play politics with American jobs,” Meadows wrote in a Twitter post right before Trump’s press conference. “Since Democrats won’t step up and do their job, @realdonaldtrump will do it for them.”
At this point, it’s clear Democrats want to play politics with American jobs.
To workers all over the country: D.C. Democrats may not have your back, but President Trump does.
Since Democrats won’t step up and do their job, @realdonaldtrump will do it for them.

There are several areas in which the two sides disagree with each other. The Democrats want a comprehensive stimulus package costing $3.4 trillion, while the White House prefers a smaller bill as the first step in addressing the most important issues, including an extension of enhanced unemployment payments and eviction protections for tenants.
Pelosi and Schumer also want $915 billion in aid for state and local governments included in the bill, to which the White House offered $150 billion.
Pelosi and Schumer only interested in Bailout Money for poorly run Democrat cities and states. Nothing to do with China Virus! Want one trillion dollars. No interest. We are going a different way!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 7, 2020
Trump said on Saturday that many requirements from the Democrats are irrelevant to the outbreak, including bailout money for states and local governments, articles to ban voter ID and signature verification, and universal mail-in ballots.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are blocking measures supporting K-12 school reopening, additional money for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), additional money for hospitals, testing, and vaccines, and direct payments of $3,400 for families of four, he said.
The president said on Friday that he will use executive power to extend the enhanced unemployment payment and suspend the payroll tax.
He announced during an unplanned press conference on Friday that he would defer the payroll tax until the end of the year, enhance unemployment benefits until the end of the year, defer student loan payments and forgive interest indefinitely, and reinstate a federal moratorium on evictions.
The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, also known as novel coronavirus and caused the disease of COVID-19, originated from Wuhan city in China and has infected over 19 million people and claimed lives of more than 718,000 outside China according to government data collected by The Johns Hopkins University.
The Chinese regime claimed—which has been highly doubted—that there are only 88,649 infection and 4,681 death inside China.
It’s widely reported that the Chinese regime covered up the outbreak and refused to share information with other countries. As a result of the outbreak, countries around the world became more aware of the dangers of the Chinese regime and its socialist ideologies.

Ugh it's never good enough.— Global Awareness 101 (@Mononoke__Hime) August 8, 2020
I can't believe I'm listening to people berating President Trump's executive order he just signed.
DO YOU WANT THE HELP OR NOT?
He couldn't include stimulus payment in EO because it's NEW money.
He's REDIRECTING money ALREADY APPROVED for spending.
All of the rest of the economic relief for states, hospitals, schools, etc Congress will have to get their act together to pass a bill.— Global Awareness 101 (@Mononoke__Hime) August 8, 2020
Congress would be AUTHORIZING NEW MONEY TO BE SPENT.
I thank God President Trump is sending the people financial relief no fault of their own.
Democrats held another relief bill hostage to try to extort a massive bailout for blue cities and states totally apart from the CCP Virus.— I Have Not Yet Begun To Pounce - Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) August 8, 2020
So Trump is now signing an executive order to get around the Democrat hostage-takers.

Just think of it as DACA for Americans needing relief from unemployment and payroll taxes.— Razor (@hale_razor) August 8, 2020
ADDENDUM:— I Have Not Yet Begun To Pounce - Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) August 8, 2020
This is 100% correct.
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS HIMSELF OPENED UP THE DOOR FOR THIS WITH THAT DACA RULING JUST LAST MONTH.
Remember, TRUMP HIMSELF warned that this gives the President TOO MUCH POWER, if EO's **can't** be reversed by successors.https://t.co/3E8ZQPYg5Q
Why is the DACA executive order a valid thing per SCOTUS but not this?— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) August 8, 2020
1. President Trump had no choice but to issue the Executive Orders this afternoon, and given that Obama instituted DACA without legislation and John Roberts seemed okay with that, the president's DOJ will have strong grounds on which to defend them.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 9, 2020
2. But why would the Democrats and their media propagandists oppose the Executive Orders since they supported Obama's executive action on behalf of illegal aliens, and President Trump's orders actually assist tens of millions of American citizens.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 9, 2020
3. The president, and the American people, are sick and tired of Pelosi, Schumer, and the media playing games with their lives and their families, and they are sick and tired of legislative blackmail by a wildly radical House speaker from San Francisco.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 9, 2020
4. We live in different times, where we are fighting for our survival as a free and prosperous people against a loathsome enemy from within. Kudos to the President, the only person in Washington who actually wants to get things done on behalf of the people.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 9, 2020
Wow. Trump is going to terminate the payroll tax for those making under 100K. That's pretty awesome.— Notable Exception Patriot J ๐ฅ (@sirhottest) August 8, 2020

๐ AFTER NOT DOING SHIT for the American people because she wanted $915 BILLION to bailout states and local cities that were already in the crapper before the pandemic hit. She refused to budge. Nancy Pelosi has the nerve to say, that President Trump's Executive Action today "PROVIDE LITTLE REAL HELP for families." It's a HUGE HELP TO FAMILIES IN DIRE NEED. ๐
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) August 8, 2020Today’s meager announcements show President Trump still does not comprehend the seriousness or the urgency of the health and economic crises facing working families. These policies provide little real help for families.
Meager? Tell that to the person who needs to pay living expenses and bills. Who has been forced not to work because of Covid19 quarantine.— Global Awareness 101 (@Mononoke__Hime) August 9, 2020
