Trump speaks at GOP midterm convention in Dallas

Trump claims he will send $5,000 to every citizen if Republicans hold on to control of Congress

Trump has claimed he will send every citizen $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the US House and Senate. He provided no details about where he would source this money from or the legality of the incentive.

“So if the Republicans win, you win with us … it will be called the Trump dividend,” the president said.

You are the biggest sucker in the universe if you believe this one.

Despite the fact that hes been saying $2k checks since before he got elected, which have never materialized, there are morons out there that will absolutely believe it.

“$2k if you elect me!1! $2500 for all the doge money we saved!1! $5k if you vote red in the midterms!1!1” Pretty soon it will be $10k if we let him win a third term.

People are so fucking abysmally stupid. The fact that the offer has to be $5k now due to rent increases, price increases, inflation, etc. is more telling than the fact that hes trying this bit again in the first place

At least it's fucking interesting. It's about time they did something that at least registers as not the stupidest, cruelest idea humanity can muster. Will you have to look very hard to find that they extract the $5000 from the orphan crushing machine? No! But at least you get a brief moment of a headline that isn't diarrhea forever.

On the other hand, this is extremely funny because this act of desperation shows that he's at least somewhat aware of how unpopular he is and will be cooked in the midterms.

No wonder he was praising Indian elections 2 weeks ago lol.

money up front

At least a down-payment to show you're serious. A good $1500-$2000 now usable before the election and the rest later.

He should promise everyone GTA 6

Will this be another Biden bux situation?

I wonder what the lives of people gullible enough to believe this are like, from their perspective.

its funny how he is now resorting to bribing voters now

also related mini-slop. there is a crosspost of this article in another instance and there is a bluemaga complaning that it shouldnt be shared because its helping trump by reporting on his bullshit https://mander.xyz/post/58018689

with opposition like this who needs allies lmao

Why are you fuckers promoting this shitstain?

Should I feel guilty?

lol no, he is mad that people are reporting on anything about trump

We're gonna finally revalue the Iraqi dinar when we win the midterms folks, believe me!

Sign up now to avoid missing this once in a lifetime offer. Orrer ends soon! The maths works perfectly! This $5k figure exactly covers all the businesses that have gone under, rises in fuel bills, food bills rent increases and every hospital or doctor visit anyone could ever want or need! Trump made everyone a winner!......... /s

$5000 could pay for some one-way airplane tickets to Chengdu

I'm still waiting for that tariff check.

not to mention joe biden still owes me like $2k

This is extremely illegal, but who's going to stop him?

It's only illegal if he actually intends to pay people.

He would never.

Also - isn't it very roughly a trillion dollars?

Didn't he say something about there not being any money available to the people because the US is in wartime? Funny how the money just pops up into existence like that.

It is, but just the act of saying this is wildly illegal.

Trump is protected by the "no one is going to do a goddamn thing about it" clause

In the GOP SCOTUS's immunity ruling they declared that criminal law doesn't apply to the president.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that shit. Jfc this reality sure is something.

Some dem pols (Jim Clyburn etc) have a prospective plan to stop the toxic GOP justices. It's "packing" the court so it's expanded vastly to 13. Of course that creates the razor-thin dem majority of 7-6. In theory - a dem president and congress could start work on that idiotic plan in 2029 and then actually do it that year. ~5 years later with a GOP president and congress - news could break that Sotomayor had cancer that she hid (aka "did not disclose). She didn't want to resign and take one for the team.

The cancer got far worse. It's has spread to her brain and soon enough she resigns. Within weeks it's 7-6 for the GOP again! So it's time to vote harder again!

Pack the court to an absurdist degree, simply amend 28 USC § 1 as follows:

The Supreme Court of the United States shall consist of a Chief Justice of the United States and ~~eight~~ 800,000,000,000,000,000 associate justices, any ~~six~~ 600,000,000,000,000,000 of whom shall constitute a quorum.

lol

lmao

It's interesting that he understands so much better than Democrats how politics works

Republicans are shrewdly caring less and less about optics, but they have democrats still clinging to it to their detriment; democrats still think they need to appeal to people who'll never vote for them

He never pays his bills. 🤣

Didn't he literally send people 2k? And the dems promised 2k and didn't

Not that both sides should be [redacted]

I got 1500 not 2000 if i remember correctly

something something dems buying votes with social programs

Cool, but if you want to buy my vote, you also have to send me the money that Biden owed me too.

10k minimum

They're never going to pay this out.

mexico will pay for it.
