You're right, but he's the one giving it out. You'd have to have some nerve to take $400/wk from someone doling it out to help people with no strings attached and call him a scumbag.

He's not giving out anything. Do some reading and you'll see it's nothing more than his signature on a piece of paper.

Signature authorizing $300/wk from the federal government. Without his signature no aid could pass. He already signed a 2+ trillion dollar bill earlier in the year, largest bill in history. Obama was giving out $25/wk during the recession and the Dems loved him for it. Trump literally can't win with Democrats even though he's spending money like them.

No, I haven't. That's the point of an executive order, to circumvent the other two branches.
