Trump's Second Term

Andy_Ross said:
Trump: "We're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend. Congratulations.
Only I can make this promise to you: If the Republicans win the House and Senate, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000"

U.S. population of adults 18 and older: 270 million

270,000,000 x 5,000 =1.35×10¹²

1,350,000,000,000 (1 trillion, 350 billion)

See Shemp's sig.

Illegal, and astronomically small odds that Trump will ever be punished for it.

I wonder where this lands on the Susan Collins Scale of Concern

Didn't he previously say we'd all get checks because of tariffs? And again because of DOGE? I wonder how many people will believe the same lie the third time.

Embarrassingly more than we care to recognize. Remember, these ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ dolts taped tampons to their faces for like a week.

I thought expenditure was the responsibility of congress. Unless Trump means to pay out personally.

Is it legal in the US to offer people a financial incentive to vote for one party? In Europe it would be called bribery.

Congress under its current leadership lets Trump do almost anything he wants.

The Republican Midterm Convention last night, in Dallas, was a major, sold out hit, far bigger, better, and more important than anyone thought possible.
It was really something, streaming all over the place, and really big numbers, despite going up against the NFL.
The overall numbers beat the NFL.
The Arena, which was really nice, beat its own attendance records. The place was packed! There were thousands of people outside who couldn't get in.
Screens were provided.
I guess people LOVE TRUMP POLITICS!
I'll be there again tonight to close out the show. Exciting "Stuff!"
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

This is a case, though, where Congress is going to have to actively do something that he wants (or at least is promising). Since Trump's premise appears to be that America can afford it, but only the GOP can or will deliver it, I think every Republican congressional candidate needs to have their feet held to this fire Trump has lit, and asked incessantly between now and the elections if they will commit to acting to fulfill the promise he has made on their behalf . And no answers along the lines of "taking Trump seriously but not literally" should be accepted- this is a case where he cannot be taken seriously without being taken literally.

Sure Gramps, sure. Now ask Natalie for a bedtime story and your binky.

Remember in the past when he said he was giving you money or lowering drug prices by 600% and didn't do it. He was just saying it to own the Libs.
He really means it this time.

The ◊◊◊◊◊◊ up part is his base cheers the fact that he says stuff but doesn't do it. When you bring up the outrageous things he promises and doesn't deliver on, they get a kick out of it.
