Note that he never promised those dollars to be US dollars. Re-watch it if you don't believe me. It could be e.g. 5000 Guyanese Dollar. They even have a nice 5000 dollar note, which would buy you a McDonalds "meal".

The sad thing is that many right-wing voters genuinely believe every word Trump says, and that anything he says that doesn't come to pass is due to someone else interfering in his otherwise 'sound' plans.

This generates more incentive for the politicians to keep the people poor. The poorer the people are, the cheaper winning a vote is since less money will be enough motivation to sway them

Not that anybody but billionaires will ever get paid

Each week the government said less about the findings of the board of inquiry which was to decide how the $5000 per person could be wangled. It became easier to answer malcontents with a cuff from a Minute Man than by repetitious statements from Washington.

And I'm sure he'll follow through on that, just like all his other debts.

Now do it every other month and call it UBI. Oh no we can’t have that? That would be communism?

Could America sink any lower....yes, the answer is always yes.

Weren’t yall promised money from tariffs and doge and shit. Got any of that money yet?

It’s not illegal if your above all known laws.

Republicans: lol hes just joking.

Fuck trump

In other words, Trump feels the only way that Americans will vote for candidates who support his unpopular agenda is to bribe them.

Payment upfront mohterfukka

Buying the presidency seems so american, /s. Good news though, if he is desperately trying to give money away you know his election toppling plans are not very good. Be ready america and watch those polls with your video phones come election night.

Antifa hasn't paid me a cent, yet. I'm not trusting this guy.

Also, for a bribe to work, you need to pay first.

Multiple problems with this.

For one thing, it's blatant corruption. Attempting to bribe the voters with taxpayer dollars? Using federal funds for partisan activity?

Aside from that, didn't he make promises like that last time, which he never delivered on? How stupid could his base really be? (please don't answer that. I know they're dumb as hell).

Lastly, if we look back to his last term when he used federal money to write checks to every american adult, the effect it had on inflation as well as the national debt was enormous.

So yeah, fuck this with a rusty spoon.

eh I think people should only be reminded about what happened with his promises of lower grocery prices and how much richer the billionaires, including himself, got since he took office

January 20th, 2029, I will instruct my treasury secretary to issue $10,000 checks to every US citizen, if I am elected President.

If they win they'll pay in some worthless crypto. Mark my words.

Narcissists just proiect their values on other people, and disregard what the people actually need.

Source: my mum is a fucking narcissist.

I can imagine all kinds of idiots falling for this, even if legally questionable and he's about as likely to come through as he did for his promises on child care in 2016....

I have someone in my family that said they were voting for him in 2016 because of his child care promise. I often think of that when I reflect on him and Pence and other idiots in his camp all repeating that slogan and getting their republizombies to parrot it: "promises made, promises kept".
