BUY BITCOIN AND SILVER. Save yourself.
Can't eat digital money or silver.
If the crash is as bad as people say then having these things will not save you.
You think I'm going to trade you any of my food for silver or bitcoins? Hell no.

Without Trump mentioning it, people would have never had it on their mind and therefore the government wouldn't have done anything for the people.
You're on the right track. If President Trump had not asked Pelosi/McConnell to make the stimulus amount $2,000 in early December. We would only be getting $600 now, because $600 of the $1200 was sent out in late December.
But as it stands, $600 of Trumps $2,000 was sent out in late December, leaving $1400 remaining to be sent.
Joe Biden first said in January, after the $600 had already been paid, that he wanted to send Americans $2,000. But his mind is shot, so who knows what he was trying to say.

It's very nice of you to give Mr Trump exclusive credit for coming up with a common sense idea that everyone was already thinking. It's not like Twitter was talking about it for months beforehand.

In early-December 2020, Congress was putting together a second Covid-19 rescue-stimulus package.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wanted each American to receive $1,200.

----------------
Outgoing (lame duck) President Donald Trump said every American deserved at least $2,000, as a display of government appreciation, for their sacrifices during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The U.S. House willingly increased the original $1,200 to $2,000 as President Trump requested.

---------------
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), reduced the $2,000 to $600. The $600 deposits went out to Americans in late December.

In early January 2021, President-elect Joe Biden had a brain-storm. He announced a brand new Covid-19 Rescue-Stimulus bill that would cost $1.9 Trillion, and send a $1,400 payment to every American.

--------------
With Democrats now in charge of the U.S. House, Senate, and White House, the $1.9 Trillion bill was approved relatively quickly. President Biden signed it into law today, and the $1,400 deposits will start hitting American's bank accounts this weekend.
Source: www.yahoo.com...
-------------
If President Trump had not asked Nancy Pelosi to increase the direct payments to Americans from $1,200 to $2,000, the deposits coming to 90% of American accounts starting this weekend, would be $600, instead of $1,400.
Technically, President Trump is only responsible for $800 of the $1,400.
But the important thing to keep in mind is that the former President wanted Americans receive more money. He made this demand of Congress even though he had just lost the election, due to (allegedly) more Americans wanting Joe Biden as U.S. President than Donald Trump. Empathy, combined with not holding a grudge. A rare combination of emotions, coming from someone who had just been rejected (allegedly) 80 million times.
