When Trump gave his speech where he asked Congress to give Americans $2000 instead of $600, and drop the pork and foreign aid, here's how Twitter 'reported' it:
Trump wants changes made to Congress' $900B covid relief plan
When the House Dems agreed to change the check amount to $2000, here's how Twitter reported it:
House Democrats push to send $2000 stimulus check to Americans
But they didn't agree to get rid of the pork or foreign aid. So the House republicans blocked it. Here's how Twitter reported it:
"House Republicans reject effort to increase stimulus relief checks to $2,000 despite Trump's request"
Note that they did NOT mention that Trump requested the $2000 at first, they just said he wanted changes. Then when Pelosi agreed to change the check amount, Twitter spun that it was House Democrats that did it. Never mentioning the pork or foreign aid.
Then when House Republicans block it cause they did NOT meet Trump's requests, Twitter spins that Republicans are keeping Americans from getting $2000, while never mentioning that Dems refused to cut the pork and foreign aid.
This is how the sheep stay hoodwinked.
