Donald Trump is promising more payments to voters just ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections — this time, to more than 20 million seniors, giving them $90 each to help pay for Medicare premiums.

The announcement, made late Friday night by Trump on social media, comes after the president last month said about 1 million people would get rebate checks of $500 for Affordable Care Act premiums. He has also promised on the campaign trail to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections.

That pledge — which would require approval from Congress — would likely cost more than $1 trillion, adding to the deficit and worsening inflation.

    Yeah. As soon as we get the Doge checks, tariff refund and election bribe money. Is anyone still dumb enough to believe this? Sadly, I think the answer might be, yes.

    P.S. if and maga people will give me $4000 I’ll give you my entire $5000 Doge check when it arrives. It’s a really good deal
