Ok, but by what mechanism? The GOP congress isn't going to go along with simply bumping the checks up. They would request some reduction elsewhere in the bill. But there is not going to be any renegotiation on that, time is up on this congress.

It's 600 or nothing, Trump's braying about 2000 is just sound and fury. If he actually gave a shit he would have included this demand earlier in the negotiation. Mnuchin could have told Mitch this was a necessity. Now, who will the American people blame when this goes to shit? Probably just the "dysfunctional government" and not the person responsible, DJT.

You are totally correct. Trumps action is just BS. Let's just hope he actually delivers a real veto and doesn't just let the clock run out.
