1. I hope they correct the misperception that Trump was the one who provided the covid stimulus checks.

I heard on the Charlemagne Tha God podcast yesterday that some black men support Trump because they think he sent them a covid stimulus check---because Trump's signature is on the check. Of course, it was the Democrats who pushed for those payments while Republicans voted against them. Then when it passed by a hair with almost all House Republicans opposed to it, Trump caused a delay in their issuance by insisting his Geiger counter looking signature was on the check. And his Treasury Secretary obliged. So Trump got credit for a popular measure Republicans opposed.
