Donald Trump pledged Wednesday to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections, an extraordinary gambit to reverse his party’s sagging fortunes in November.
The dubious promise would likely cost more than $1 trillion and require congressional approval, and would further exacerbate the country’s nearly $1.8 trillion annual budget deficit and concerns about inflation.
Trump’s proposal would be legal because the payment would go to everyone regardless of how they voted, or whether they voted at all, said New Mexico-based attorney John Day.
“This is a campaign promise,” Day said. “It’s not a payment to individuals to try to get them to vote in a particular way.”
Just going to ignore the “if Republicans retain control of the House and the Senate”, huh, AP?
Man, between this, the $5000 DOGE checks that will never come, and the $2000 tariff checks that will ALSO never come? We’re all rolling in it, boys!
It’s raining imaginary money!
Could America sink any lower…yes, the answer is always yes.
THAT’S BRIBERY
Lmao
Payment upfront mohterfukka
Even if we win I won’t pay! 🫲🍊🫱
Just like the doge checks and the tariff rebates. And and
“dubious”
It’s a fucking lie.
So Trump wants to redistribute wealth from those tha pay more in taxes to those that don’t? Hmm, there’s a word for the redistribution of wealth but I can’t remember what it is. I do know that Republicans have waged wars over it at the request of conglomerates though.
If you think you’re going to receive $5,000 if Republicans win the 2026 election, then you don’t realize who made you need the extra $5,000 in the first place.
The guy who never pays people what he owes them says once again that we’ll get a vague mystery check sometime soon? I’m going to go ahead and hold my breath for that.
Republicans: lol hes just joking.
Fuck trump
Since when does a Trump pay a debt?
[x] Doubt
Weren’t yall promised money from tariffs and doge and shit. Got any of that money yet?
Fuck the noise. His maga 30% will turn up at the polls. Theres more people who see and recognise his bullshit, only they refuse to tackle the problem by bothering to vote. Stop getting distracted.
