President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans have taken the opportunity to outflank Pelosi and House Democrats on the payments, leading to anger from the left.
“I truly don’t know how to describe how maddening it is that Republicans and Trump officials are to the left of Congressional Dem leadership on this issue,” tweeted activist Jordan Uhl.

Most saying that the Trump Administration is more left on the issue than Pelosi.
It's absolutely shameful that the most senior member of the Democratic party is refusing to consider universal cash payments for Americans in this time of crisis. @SpeakerPelosi you are further to the right than Trump on this issue. Get your shit together, now. #PeopleVsPelosi

Progressives got into the mix as well. One user had this to say: “Trump’s stimulus proposal doesn’t go far enough, but it goes further than Pelosi, Schumer or Biden want. Why I’m a progressive, not a Dem.
