President Donald Trump is slated to hand over control of the White House to President-elect Joe Biden in 26 days.

Trump tweets about COVID-19 relief bill

As Americans wait to learn whether Trump will sign a must-pass spending bill and COVID-19 relief package, Trump tweeted on Friday afternoon a reiteration of his demand that Americans receive $2,000 payments as opposed to the $600 in the current legislation.

"Why would politicians not want to give people $2000, rather than only $600?" he wrote.

The current bill took months to negotiate and was finalized just days before millions lose benefits if pandemic-era provisions expire. Then Trump demanded more money be sent directly to Americans.

House Democrats seized on Trump's demand on Thursday, proposing $2,000 payments in a measure that was blocked by members of Trump’s own party.

Trump has spent the past two days at his golf club, while Vice President Mike Pence is reportedly spending the holidays at Vail.

Shortly after his tweet on the bill, the president tweeted that he’s going to do a video call with troops around the world, but that the “Fake News” is “not invited!”
