Wait a minute. Trump didn't create that bill: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (H.R. 748), also known as the CARES Act, is a law intended to address the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. In its original form, it was introduced in the United States Congress as H.R. 748 (Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019) by Joe Courtney (D-CT) although the Senate changed the content of the bill, and the bill was amended and retitled before it was passed.
