You know what this reminds me of, Joe Biden promising to pay off student loans – Much more than 5K to Ages 18 and up . Isn't that the age you can start to vote?
1. 5k Before. Like today preferably. 2. The vote, ill think about it.
BRIBARY
I Keep Telling My Friends , Trump Will Not Get A $5,000.00 Check 😂😂😂😂!!!! Guy, Is Unfortunately Making Plans On Saving & Spending It 😂😂😂😂!!!!
Reasonable person, we're talking about Drump supporters 😅😅😅😅
Hakeem please stop lying! The cuts to healthcare and SNAP are to root out fraud, the rampant fraud led by Democrats and their supporters. If Dems support attacking fraudsters, we’d have plenty of money.
Trump didn’t start a war in Iran. He is ending a 47 year war.
Inflation is lower than it was under Biden. The affordability crisis IS real. It was caused by Democrats. Trump has reduced inflation. Dems continue to push costs higher!
Republicans don’t control the Senate. Sixty votes are needed and Republicans only have 53 votes.
So many lies in your story!
Hakeem needs to start providing real answers to actual questions. I'm kind of tired of him giving his pre-recorded tape of the same answers to every question when asked for HIS actual opinion. Kind of losing folks looking for real leadership thinking and solutions based ideas.
We are sick of Trump lises about everything.
I'm a democrat, BUT I CANNOT STAND LISTENING TO LYING JEFFRIES
