And how do you think the media would have spun that?
He can't win here. Plain and simple.
Vetoing this just allows the left to use
the mediatheir propaganda/indoctrination arm to spin it so that, "Look how little Trump cares about people suffering! Now look how - wow - Biden came in and worked with congress to take care of the people!He can't win. It doesn't matter if "doing x is obviously the correct course", when the other side has the ability to make it so that the vast majority of the public will believe the opposite.
Seriously? It's all downside for him if he signs, all upside if he doesn't.
Sign: Your signature is your approval and your complicity. Your supporters will think you've betrayed them. Your enemies still hate you. Another crack has formed in the foundation of your future campaign.
Don't sign: Your supporters appreciate that you signaled your dissent against this heinous bill. You might actually get normies on board, because the optics of the bill are so fucking bad. Your enemies still hate you.
Who cares about media spin at this point. It doesn't matter if he dies for the sins of man, the media will always shit on him. His supporters know that. Signing is the wrong move, regardless of how it plays in the news.
In what way? If he doesn't sign, the media spends the next MONTH+ running sob stories of all the people losing their homes, losing their jobs, etc. They will place 100% of the blame on Trump. "Why didn't he want to help these people in their time of need? How could he let 'the perfect' be the enemy of 'the good'. It was obvious to everyone but him that the people needed something"
Then, what you're going to get - which is what we are STILL likely to get - is the leftist controlled congress, getting a bigger deal done - once Biden is installed - and the media is going to absolutely fellatiate them (and themselves, seeing as its the media's preferred party) for how it took "Getting rid of
HitlerTrump, and handing the reins of power back to the left, to finally help the people!"You honestly don't think that's what the goal is here? Seriously?
And it does matter how it plays in the news. It's not just about Trump. The fucking media is using COVID, using the BLM shit, using Trump in order to try to destroy the GOP permanently - or split them into two - so that they can have permanent, one fucking party, leftist control of the government.
Dude. The media is a joke. The only people who trust media narratives are beyond hope. I guarantee you that Trump's decisions are not at all influenced by how he'll be treated by the news.
