The money is political symbolism. Maybe when you realize that you can see that stimulus is ineffectual. People have been awake to the trash that gets stuffed into bills in Congress for much longer than Trump has been around. Since Trump believes in allowing to republic to function as designed, we shouldn't expect him to exert executive power to force states to lift the restrictions preventing people from making a living. Therefore the next logical point is how to mitigate as much of the economic strain as possible. $2000 won't last 2 months for most people, nor should the federal reserve print/borrow trillions more to facilitate such a bandaid measure.
