Trump promises to give $5000 checks to every adult citizen in the US if GOP wins house and senate.

Only I can make this promise to you. And here is my promise. If the republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate -- both of them -- because of our economic, tremendous economic success...like, in history, we've never had anything like what's happening, but because of our tremendous strenght and success economically: I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for five thousands dollars. crowd cheers. Bessent smiles weakly very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to its shareholders or like last year when I gave our great members of the military 1776 -- remember?

I haven't listened to him talk lately. This is pretty bad. It's just unreliable fairytales and the lies poets.

Do you think this "promise" would move the needle for anyone? I can't imagine anyone believing him, but I'm not necessarily in tune with how most people think.

I think I know people who don't really care about voting, but might toss a vote that way like a lotto ticket. I also know people who devoutly believe in trump -- but they will already vote that way and don't need to be swayed by money.

right, but the trump devotees already vote for him, so the needle doesn't move.

words are wind, I doubt trump feels it's a bad roi as long as he gets a few people.
