As Americans wait for another COVID-19 package, President Donald Trump said he may attempt to suspend the payroll tax via an executive order.

“Well, I may do it myself,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday. “I have the right to suspend it, and I may do it myself—I have the absolute right to suspend the payroll.”
