More than a week after Congress reached a stimulus deal, President Donald Trump has signed the $900 billion COVID-relief bill.
The President, who has spent most of his time since losing the November 3 election pushing false conspiracy theories about his loss to President-Elect Joe Biden and golfing, delayed signing the bill complaining that the $600 in direct payments in the legislation was too small.
He also chaffed at portions of the bill that called for ridding any military base of a names of Confederate generals and other figures who fought against equality.
