Yeah, where’s that DOGE check, and the other ones he’s lied about?
IMPEACH!!!!
Is that people still working and retired senior getting check first. Maybe just all voters in america. Where is the money coming from. The treasury dept. can't have that money lying around.
of course it is. most of what he says is made up. this is illegal. I wish he would just go away
Why would the government need to fund a campaign pledge?
No shx%$!!
Promise them anything, then give them the shaft! 😵
he really does have the face of a donkeys butt
Followed by communist commercial
Nice spin but BS
It doesn't matter if the payout is possible or not. What really matters, is that he's bribing you for your votes.
How low can you fall, Americans?
He still owes the tariff refund and doge checks he promised. It's up to $12,000 per adult now – $3.24 trillion total.
We’d see how filthy this man truly is. But even if Democrats win Congress back, Trump will still fight, stonewall, & gridlock then.
Of course it's made up. He's a liar.
If you believe Trump tells me you live in an alternate reality. Perhaps the Bizzaro world. Mass psychosis.
Trump stated his 5k promise because most Americans in his base are ignorant and uneducated and is tricking them again to vote for his corrupt GOP to regain theid rerms
Everyone with an IQ over 80 knows that this $5000 is BS and will never happen , but his cult members will believe it and it will incentivize them to go vote.
Everything about Donald is made up
Trump and promise are 2 words that should never be in the same sentence, well maybe if you throw in word "Broken".🤑😠
Moon knight moves
Why is this not the topic, other than how much in trillions it will cost US taxpayers?

The TRUMP A LOSER EVENT PROMISE is ridiculous because he currently has both Houses and if he thinks it is legal to pay $5,000 for an election result he owes all Americans for the 2024 results and should send the checks now.
The only houses tRUMP belongs in is a jailhouse or a nuthouse. I'm still dumbfounded that Americans voted him in. Every time I think Americans can't get more dumbed-down they prove me wrong.
OMG the Republicans are so desperate now, you can't get any more desperate than bribing citizens to vote for you. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep us in power so we can keep making money while the rest of you suffer!
Elon Musk did the same thing. Didn't he?
Sovereign Wealth Fund created.
Venezuela Oil deal benefits.
He’s negotiated a percentage for mergers.
He’s raised $20T; could 5% be a dividend to Americans?😊
This administration can't even pay our military properly. They just announced cuts to Navy service members pay. Can't afford to feed our troops properly. No money for healthcare, housing, jobs, or childcare. There's always money to give these oligarchs billions in government contracts, put gold on decoration, billions in contracts for his family and loyalists.
Elon did the same thing and is still uncharged
Bribery is a crime!!! As an elected official.
If bribing voters is allowed, then Democrats should up the stakes. If Democrats win, do I hear $6000. If trump veto's it, then payments will be made in 2 years.
