21. This is brilliant!

So what is Trump going to do now? Say that he can't find the money to pay back the families? How is he going to rave against Pritzker when Pritzker is advocating for middle class Americans to receive a check that Trump has already pretty much promised? He's going to criticize Pritzker for wanting Trump to do as he said he would? Won't that make him have to admit his tariff's aren't working? Will he finally issue those tariff checks?

Interesting move by the Governor, who I think is awesome!
