CNN reporters fact-check President Trump’s remarks after he signs four executive orders targeting the economy.
The other three orders he signed include a payroll tax holiday for Americans earning less than $100,000 a year, as well as extending an eviction moratorium and deferring student loan payments."I'm taking action to provide an additional or extra $400 a week and expanded benefits, $400. That's generous but we want to take care of our people," Trump said at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
When asked by a reporter why $400 instead of the previous $600, Trump responded,"This is the money they need, this is the money they want, this gives them a great incentive to go back to work."He went on to say,"there was a difficulty with the 600 number because it really was a disincentive." Democrats are likely to challenge the executive actions in court.
