“Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits,” he said. “It’s one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and the Senate, $5,000 to every adult. And we can do it and the Democrats can’t, because the Democrats don’t have any income, and they’re gonna drive us in[to] a depression. They won’t have any money.”
Bitch you already promised us a tariff refund check.

His so-called logic is so bad it makes my head hurt.
- You already control both chambers. You could pass it now if it wasn’t an obvious bribe to get people to vote for your party.
- Nothing about the Dems winning midterms stops the tariffs being in place. Literally your entire legal argument is that you don’t need Congress to approve them, so logically the Dems controlling Congress wouldn’t stop them if that was true. So they’d still have the money.
How do people actually fall for this shit? How?!
Measles have returned because people believe vaccines cause autism. That’s your answer.
Some children were left behind
Yeah, there is a Reason Education Sucks.
You’re right, but I wish people would stop using a movie that preaches eugenics as a point of reference.
“They’re going to drive us into a depression”
…Unlike the depression that’s already forming because of his fucking stupid and disastrous economic policies?
Yeah, I’ll take my chances with the party that has consistently brought economic stability, rather than the party that is ruining the economy (again) and flagrantly trying to buy votes (after they’ve already made similar promises and failed to deliver).

He’s flat out saying he considers the tarrif money “his” if a Republican government has access to it but a democratic government wouldn’t…
And obviously ignoring that the “profits” are from a tax on Americans buying shit

Gotta remember who he’s trying to bamboozle… Not the bright lights, the dim ones
Ignoring everything else wrong with this, it’s government money. If it actually existed it wouldn’t just vanish when a democrat gets elected.
I mean, if it were from tariffs it just might because Democrats would actually follow the law and stop the tariffs and refund the illegally collected money. Unfortunately that would go back to businesses not individuals.
Although Trump was already ordered to pay back the money so either he ignored the courts or the money already doesn’t exist.
Trump explaining where all the tariff refunds went
“Because of
tariffstaxes, I think I can bribe the stupider among you with your own fucking money.”–donnie dumb dumb
It’s gonna work on a good third of the voting American public, tho
We’re already in a recession you dumb fuck
I would say it’s beyond at this point.
He 100% thinks he gets to keep the tariff money.
“Profits.” what a POS.
Impose tariffs, make all of us pay it, then dangle some refund in front of your poor white trash voters to get them to vote again.
I worry more about the rich white trash already in power.
LOL somehow only Republicans are capable of this because Democrats bad.
Ah yes tariffs, the Republicans personal revenue stream cumulating in a very accessible slush fund to burn whatever way that specific party wishes, up to and including bribing voters.
Makes me wonder why no one else has ever thought of this? Oh, because it’s not a political loophole, just blatantly fucking illegal.
It’s the government’s money, not republican’s money. A different party inherits the government and therefore can do what you’re proposing. They’d be in the same situation.
The hell did he say?
Dumb things, the three largest democratic states have higher gdp and larger discretionary state funds than all of the red states combined. Republicans don’t have the funds if anything.
It’s a rambling of a senile old man, why the media is reporting that instead of ignoring it.
You say “yes yes”, nod and put away the cameras…
Mmmmm those sweet sweet taxes for profit
