foxnews.com:

President Trump doubled down on his demand Friday for increased coronavirus-related stimulus checks to working-class Americans.

Trump again tweeted his demand for $2,000 checks rather than the $600 proposed in the mammoth spending bill approved by Congress earlier this week. "Made many calls and had meetings at Trump International in Palm Beach, Florida.

Why would politicians not want to give people $2000, rather than only $600? It wasn’t their fault, it was China," the president wrote on Twitter.

President Trump’s last-minute about-face on the size of stimulus checks for most Americans to help deal with the economic harm caused by the coronavirus pandemic has turned Washington upside down only days before a new Congress is sworn in. Trump’s negotiators had agreed to $600 per person in stimulus checks and had gotten that measure through both the Democratic-controlled House and the Republican-controlled Senate before Christmas.The bill the payments were wrapped into was a typically flawed mixture of needed spending and slabs of Jimmy Dean-sized pork. But Trump’s White House had itself requested much of the pork — including the foreign aid he’s now railing against — and never called for $2,000 per person checks until the bill had
