President TrumpDonald TrumpMcConnell: Senate to return Dec. 29 for potential Trump veto override voteCongress passes .3T coronavirus relief, government funding dealNo. 2 GOP senator: Efforts to overturn election would ‘go down like a shot dog’MORE berated Congress over the recently announced COVID-19 relief package and called on both chambers to send him a new bill with an increase in stimulus money for Americans.
The president expressed dismay with the $2.3 trillion package, which includes a $900 billion in coronavirus relief and $1.4 trillion to fund the government until October, saying the bills spending goals were misguided.
[A] few months ago, Congress started negotiations on a new package to get urgently needed help to the American people. Its taken forever. However, the bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated. It really is a disgrace, he said in a video posted to Twitter, citing $85.5 million for assistance to Cambodia and $40 million for the Kennedy Center in Washington as among the priorities with which he disagreed.
Despite all of this wasteful spending and much more, the $900 billion package provides hardworking taxpayers with only $600 each in relief payments, and not enough money is given to small businesses, and in particular restaurants, whose owners have suffered so grievously.”
