(Washington DC) - In a video posted on Twitter at 6:15p central this evening, President Trump responded to the COVID Relief Bill, which had passed both the House and Senate on Monday by an overwhelming majority.  The bill was then sent to the President for approval. 

 

In the video, Trump demanded Congress to increase the stimulus checks to American's from $600 to $2,000 ($4,000 for a married couple).  He also blasted congress for billions of dollars of "wasteful spending", some of which was directed towards foreign governments.

 

Trump requested Congress to amend and send him a "suitable bill" that increases payments to Americans while removing the "wasteful spending, otherwise he would leave it up to the next administration to pass a COVID Relief Bill for America.

 

If Trump goes as far as to veto the bill, it would take a two-thirds majority vote by both the House and Senate to overturn the President's veto.
