Trump’s threat to veto a $900 billion COVID stimulus package on the grounds that the $600 payments to individuals was too paltry was ostensibly a plea for more generous government help for average Americans after an incredibly painful year. But it also seemed aimed at creating havoc for top Republicans on Trump’s way out the door.
