It's all downside for him if he signs, all upside if he doesn't.

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 Hitler Trump, 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.
