Donald Trump Biden reverses Trump’s last-minute attempt to freeze 0.4 billion programs and they don’t “miss” him on Twitter.
During the press conference, Psaki was asked if Trump’s absence from social media platforms had made Biden’s life easier, as the former president cannot mobilize GOP lawmakers to oppose the new administration’s initiatives, such as a COVID-19 aid package that’s in doubt.
“This may be hard to believe, we don’t spend a lot of time talking about or thinking about President Trump – former President Trump, to be very clear,” Psaki said. “That’s a question that is probably more appropriate for Republican members looking for ways to support a bipartisan package, and whether that gives them room. But I can’t say we miss him on Twitter. “

Biden will meet with Republican senators Monday afternoon pushing for a scaled-down coronavirus aid package as the government considers whether it should try to push through the much larger package without GOP support.
Trump has been remarkably silent during Biden’s first major policy battle in Washington.
Twitter and Facebook suspended Trump’s accounts after speaking to a crowd of supporters the day a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol building to try to stop the Electoral College’s vote count.
