President Donald J. Trump has signed into law H.R. 133 and announced the signing Sunday. The act provides COVID-19 pandemic relief and averts a government shutdown.
In an official White House statement, Trump affirmed his responsibility as president “to protect the people of our country from the economic devastation and hardship that was caused by the China Virus.”
After sending strong recommendations for changes in the bill, Trump said he is signing it “to restore unemployment benefits, stop evictions, provide rental assistance, add money for PPP, return our airline workers back to work, add substantially more money for vaccine distribution and much more.
“On Monday the House will vote to increase payments to individuals from $600 to $2,000. Therefore, a family of four would receive $5,200. Additionally, Congress has promised that Section 230, which so unfairly benefits Big Tech at the expense of the American people, will be reviewed and either be terminated or substantially reformed.
“Likewise, the House and Senate have agreed to focus strongly on the very substantial voter fraud which took place in the November 3 Presidential election.
“The Senate will start the process for a vote that increases checks to $2,000, repeals Section 230 and starts an investigation into voter fraud.”
The president’s statement ended with a promise and a pledge: “Much more money is coming. I will never give up my fight for the American people!” {eoa}
