Trump has promised to give $5000 to every American who votes for him in the mid terms.
This will cost trillions of dollars. It is not legal to give cash but he could reduce taxes which is.

I notice that Trump didn't join the other Presidents in the 9/11 tribute.
Biden was there, despite his serious cancer situation.
Trump was at the Pentagon, slumped asleep in a chair, as usual.
Yes, there was Sleepy Joe, but is Dozy Donny an improvement?

It's as well Mr Trump wasn't at the tribute ceremony because it would have been all about him. As usual.

A coward president whose rich daddy moved Heaven and earth to prevent his son being sent to Vietnam.

It’s not a gift to his voters— it’s for everyone who voted- so Democrat voters would get it too assuming the Republicans won.
I can’t see how it will happen as far too expensive.

He’s promised to give every adult citizen of America $5,000 if they win. Even more expensive!

The thing is, if he really wanted to help the citizens of the USA, he has the power to do it right now, because Republicans control both houses.
I hope the citizens recognise it for the scam it is.

This must surely be illegal in the USA, as it in other democratic countries.

Maybe I should have typed theoretically democratic countries.

His bribe is illegal. Not that anyone will do anything about it.

When one has spent 40 years corrupting government, there isn't much to hold one back.
