I will have to say that I agree with Trump that all the unnecessary wasteful pork that has been added to the bill should be eliminated. I do not agree with him that direct payments should be increased. The majority of direct payments do not go to people who need the money -- the money allotted to these payments should be given to the unemployed or under-employed (due to COVID). This is a more appropriate way to target the money to people who really need it.
I agree with everything you have said here.
