I travelled to the future and it didn’t happen btw
People are still waiting for him to pickup the check at that Cuban restaurant in Miami.
Shit. The GOP won?!
Didn't he also say we'd get tariff rebate checks?
Don't forget the DOGE checks...
By "we", he probably meant corporations. Not sure if any corporations effectively got "DOGE" checks, but they got tariff checks.

That was effectively forced by the supreme Court, not the administration. Administration planned to keep the money.
Shitpants talking shit
Weren’t we supposed to get huuuuge tariff rebate checks as well…so yah…this isn’t happening. Smells like desperation.
The very claim is illegal.
“You’ve made your ruling, let’s see you enforce it”
Where does political power come from?
I've spoken to multiple conservatives who believe this man is "saving America from socialism."
Those people are idiots and you should refrain from talking to them.
But when they're family… actually, you're right.
These are the same people who would kill their children to save their souls.
I mean, they're right, though I wouldn't use the word "saving". I'd rather be "saved" from raw, unbridled capitalism.
Oh another morality test for America, the last one was " will you vote for a corrupt rapist who has proven they are bad for the country, or a woman". This one is " knowing exactly how fucked everything you care about will become, will you still vote for it if a corrupt liar says they will give you money that they literally cannot give you"
A promise from the always does lies man!
Also, you've spent that and more on lost savings, higher gas, groceries, restaurants, fucking everything he broke.
Shoots you in the toe, cuts off both feet and then announces, "if you keep me around, everyone gets a single shoe!"
And if you're a loyal cult member all this time, do you have any issue with the gate here? Like... Why isn't he just giving you $5k today, or for the last election and and all the fascism you enabled? Almost sounds like he's full of shit and only a moron would believe anything he says.
Illegal election tampering. Impeach.
Or Trump agrees to add $1.7T to the National Debt if Republicans elected.
A classic anti-democratic and anti-socialist right wing argument is that people vote for the left because the left promises them government benefits.
Mitt Romney :
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president [Obama] no matter what... who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it... My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU FUCKING THINK GOVERNMENT IS FOR?????
......sorry, fascists just get under my skin sometimes. bleh.

Republicans when talking about min wage: "We can't give out money, or else inflation happens, learn something!"
Republicans when voting comes up: "HAVE FREE MONEY!"
Why don't they just give it now? They control all 3 branches.
Well, you see, Joe Biden...
Obama
Barack HUSSEIN Obama
They'll get it right alongside their DOGE checks. Which are coming any day now. Believe me.
I'm sad there are no repercussions. This shouldn't be allowed. Its not okay. Even saying it isn't okay.
Election meddling isn't okay.
It’s not ok that politicians on both parties are controlled by corporations. But here we are. Our political system is so bad I’m not even surprised they’d win with this lie
How about if he just stops fucking kids and protecting his kid-fucking cartel?
Democrats should counter that they’ll pay double whatever the Republicans pledge (min $10k, max $30k), paid entirely by a wealth tax on assets over $1 billion if they win a filibuster-proof supermajority.
Billionaires actually have enough assets to get to $30.6k per person, so Democrats wouldn’t even have to tax their assets above $1 billion at 100% to get there.
Another MAGA IQ test.
The check is always in the mail with this guy.
Trump is a lying sack of shit.
What a dam jackass. Why doesn't he just say we'll all get ponies and hot pants while he's at it?
Seems as democratic as russia.
Assuming there are about 250M adults in the US, $5K for everyone would ring up a bill of at least $1.25T. Im sure the party of no handouts and fiscal responsibility did this math though.
on the one hand this is stupid, on the other hand he was elected by stupid people, so upon reflection it will probably work as a motivation.

Free IVF for everyone!
Remember that promise too?
I have people in my family that said they voted for him in 2016 because they thought he was going to make childcare free or something. I tried to explain that not only is that not a conservative thing, but also that he's a total fraud.
I've heard you don't always pay your debts. I'll take mine in advance please.
So, socialism? (From those vehemently opposed to it)
Trump is the most predictable human to ever have lived because if he’s speaking you can be sure he’s not telling the truth. It’s a 100% guarantee.
It's a low-ball figure. $5000 would last us about a month. Rent, Utilities, Food & more, it all adds up. The election is for a period of 24 months, not 1 month. A reasonable monetary figure that isn't a lowball would be $120,000 ---> $5000 a month for 24 months.
Wait.a.minute that sure sounds like UBI, ya filthy (animal) socialist! ;-)
Make it $10K, and I'll consider it, but I want 50% up front.
(Fuck this treasonous pedophile, I'll take his money, and still vote for the most Commie candidates I can find)
