• Such a deal..

    From Rob Mccart@1:2320/107 to ALL on Fri Sep 11 05:53:00 2026
    So apparently Trump has offered to pay every adult US citizen a
    $5000 'Dividend' if the republicans win the November elections..

    I assume he's not talking his own money since this would cost
    something like $1.23 TRILLION and, at that rate, I doubt it's
    coming from even just the Republican Party so it makes you
    wonder where the public will assume this money is coming from?

    Obviously if this were even remotely legal, the funds would
    just increase the US debt to later be a burden on taxpayers so
    it's really their own money.. Get it now and repay it later..

    But it's just another of those things that you have to stop
    and scratch your head about..

    Another Trump first..
    Publicly buying votes with taxpayer money.. B)

    I had not heard this one yet!

    I suspect it would be restricted to registered Republican adults. :D

    I am sure it will be as true a promise as the DOGE refunds and several other things that have never happened.

    I am not at all surprised at this point, unfortunately. :(

    "Trump's $5,000 midterm 'dividend' is at least his fourth promise of cash for all Americans. None
    came to pass."

    "First it was a "DOGE dividend." Then it was a promise of tariff checks. Then government healthcare
    refunds were on the way. Now, President Trump is promising Americans another payout, this time if
    Republicans win in the coming midterm elections.

    I certainly HOPE Americans think about that (false) promise.

    T has truly turned into a clown.

    He has done it so many times I couldn't remember what the other ones were. Thanks for the reminder.
