He'll 'generously' offer to send out $2,000 to every American household for medical expenses (which of course would be a tiny fraction of what would be needed to replace insurance).

But inevitably he will send it only to those who 'deserve' it (meaning just the registered Republicans, or only to 'red' states).

That's what he would propose if he even had any wits about him. But right now he is flailing defensively, straining his weak intellect trying to think of something that will save him from the huge shutdown hole that he dug.

Things are going South for him (to my utter delight!) and his support is cracking in many spots.
