Rosie O'Donnell: Trump's 'mental illness' will lead to 'landslide' election loss in November

 

Comedian Rosie O'Donnell predicted President Trump would lose his seat in the White House this fall in an election that would not even be close. “I firmly believe that the heart of the nation is bigger than his mental illness, and people will rise to the occasion and vote him out,” O'Donnell said during an interview on stand-up comedian Marc Maron's podcast. “That’s what I hope.” O'Donnell said the 2020 election was "gonna be a landslide and take him out, that's what I have to believe." A frequent critic of Trump dating back years, O'Donnell once predicted Trump would be arrested before the end of his first term. "Yes, I certainly do," O'Donnell said when pressed on that assertion. "I believe in America, I believe in our political system, and I believe we will right the wrong of the tyranny of Donald Trump."

 

Trump was famously asked during a 2016 presidential debate about allegations of calling women "fat pigs." "Only Rosie O'Donnell," Trump quipped. During her time as co-host of The View, O'Donnell said Trump was not the self-made businessman he was selling to the people but rather a "snake-oil salesman on Little House On The Prairie."

Pelosi acknowledges holding up additional funding for coronavirus small business loans

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitted to delaying a replenishment of the Paycheck Protection Program that would provide an additional $250 billion to small business owners. The PPP was established as part of the $2.3 trillion CARES Act created to offset the economic consequences of the COVID-19 virus by providing financial relief to companies and workers, but its funds ran dry last week. Pelosi, 80, explained in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday night that the holdup was a result of her request for "data" on how the money will be allocated.

 

“Before you know it, boom, all of the sudden, [the small business relief fund] they were already out of money. And when the secretary came and asked me for $250 billion, a quarter-of-a-trillion dollars, in 24 hours, I said, 'Well, we want to see the data on how that is spent,'" she said. “But also, we want to make sure that we are — as long as we are going to the floor, that we do so in a way that makes sure that everyone can participate in the program." The California Democrat also accused the Republicans of rebuffing her party's efforts before recently caving. She said that the Democrats' efforts got additional provisions allocating “about $120 billion more" for "small businesses … geared to our under-banked communities, women and minority-owned businesses, Native American, rural America, veterans, small businesses, and the rest.”

 

Her explanation echoed that of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's, who has faced similar questions about the delay from Democrats. “So, we Democrats said, ‘Yes, we want to put more money in [for small business financial relief], but let’s set aside some money to make sure it goes to the rural areas, to the minority areas, to the unbanked.' And the $60 billion for the disaster loan was our proposal, and now the [Trump] administration is going along with that,” he told the network a day earlier.
