What's this?

For the record, Trump wants to outborrow Nancy.

President Trump on Tuesday made yet another appeal for Republican lawmakers to support an economic relief package higher than the $2.2 trillion proposed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who cited Tuesday as the final day to agree on a deal before the elections.

"It’s very simple. I want to do it even bigger than the Democrats," Trump said on "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday. "Now, not every Republican agrees with me, but they will. But I want to do it even bigger than the Democrats, because this is money going to people that did not deserve what happened to them coming out of China.”

Such a deal remains highly unlikely. Trump has been pushing for weeks for Republicans to "go big," but GOP senators remain opposed to a price tag near $2 trillion.
