  1. You can tell President Trump is lying. He first said he would pay a $5000 check to anyone who voted Republican and of course somebody must’ve whispered in his ear and now he’s claiming every American citizen. Nobody’s gonna get paid and even if they did, it wouldn’t be Democrats. So they would be using Democrats tax dollars to pay Republicans.

  2. Lady go sit down, democrats on Minnesota just allowed the stealing of Billions of taxpayer money via Feeding programs and Medicare fraud…ySo did ALL of the money the democrats gave to things like Studying Butterflies in the Rainforests and Teaching Trans People how to
    Prepare meals!!!it’s always something when everyday people get money but crickets when people in high places steal it!!!

  3. More of Trump lies. If he was going to give it, he would do now. All these presidents have added to the national dept so the common person may as well get their part as we are a part of the cost any way you look at it.

  4. Do you mean a President can state what sounds like a clear bribe and nobody thinks to call that part out. Why do you media lot just normalise all the nonsense he does. America is truly broken.

  5. Why would anyone believe him? How many checks has he promised and not delivered on? Where’s the tariff checks? The doge checks? And, even if he wanted to, he would have to have the votes which he doesn’t.

  6. Except blacks , Latinos, Mexicans an people of color. Got ride of every black high ranking politician he could fire. It’s not that he’s a racist his allergic to melanin.

  7. POPPYCOCK!! SPECIFICALLY set aside Tariff's Income and bonafide DOGE Recoveries. It is that simple. Separate those $$$ AWAY frm Gen. Budget "Deposits". Refund TO INDIVIDUAL ADULT CITIZENS NOT CORPORATE BUSINESSES, WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE AND WAS THE WRONG DECISION!!! WALMART..COSTCO ETAL!! CONSUMERS DO NOT WANT PIDDLY ASSED "DISCOUNTS" VIA RETAIL PRICE REDUCTIONS!!! THOSE TARIFF $$$ CAME STRAIGHT OUT OF CONSUMER WALLETS….BIG BIZNESS'ES ONLY BEING THE COLLECTOR FOR THE GOVT!!! YOU GOVT FUKKRS NEED TO STOP THE BIG LIE!! Adult Citizens over age 30 Refund the full $5k pp. Those age 21-30 with full time jobs $2500. This is Fair based on Consumer spending…Tariffs "contributory time and exposure" and DOGE recoveries. CONGRESS has to Approve POTUS 47 idea and plan…even if he's Bullshitting the Public. We will believe it when the checks and DD's arrive!!! To the Govt…QUIT FUKKNG AROUND AND GIT 'ER DONE!!

  8. BS. Both parties abandoned fiscal responsibility long ago. Besides, democrats have already done the math on giving 1 trillion to Americans saying it will inject 1.6 trillion into the economy.

  9. So does Obamacare, welfare, snap, college grants, illegals,NGOs……..the list goes on and on, yet, no one cares. If their daycare is paid for their happy, healthcare paid for their happy, their food paid for their happy, school paid for their happy. It goes on and on. It’s sick how people want to take and take while giving up their freedom by doing so. Let’s not forget about Obama phones. That made me sick as well.

  10. Democrats and their news media scream bloody murder when tax money is given to tax payers but say nothing when foreign scammers are caught scamming or worse they complain about the scammers being caught.

  11. The Trump administration owes every American citizen $12,500 each. From every promise that they’ve made to give us money. That equals a grand total of $5,312,500,000 more than $5 trillion. He is either going to pay us while he is in office or he’s going to pay when he’s out. I don’t pay about my money, and there are hundreds of millions of people just like me.

  12. People just can’t be that dum to think trump will give money for votes which is bribery but it’s like saying I’ll give you 5 dollars only once but you have to lose everything else 😂😂😂

  13. We shouldn't even be discussing his proposed illegal activity. It's one of many distractions away from the Epstein files and his unpopular war. He'll do or say anything to keep those two things out of the news cycle. Posting videos about his nonsensical statements help him keep the important things out of the news.

  14. BALANCE OUT HOW MUCH IS(was) SPENT ON FEEDING AND HOUSING FOREIGNERS (legal or not) OVER THE YEARS?! AND U WANT TO ARGUE ABOUT GIVING THE TAXPAYERS THAT HAVE HAD TO SUPPORT THIS OVER THE YEARS AND CURRENTLY!😢
    DISGUSTING

  15. But when the dems did it, it was to strengthen the economy???! Funny how the left can twist stuff around so badly. I’ll also add that at least it’s American taxpayer money going to Americans instead of to other countries for ridiculous BS

  16. It’s a lie. Where is the last DOGE $5,000 DOGE dividend (2025) they promised before ? Never came. Where’s the $2,000 tariff dividend (2025–26). Never came. Now he’s at it again. Really??

  17. Absolute Lie!! Fake News Media Puppets for the Globalist Elite /Scripted Agenda to Destroy America & Depopulate, Keep people enslaved & Brain washed! This so called Debt done by the Deep State & Globalists! Fraudulent.
    Treasonous!

  18. Btw, YouTube click bait mongers are jumping on Drumpf’s iffy $5k snake oil sales, but only contingent as all his other money carrots. Anyone who hangs with this salesman pitch deserves to be disappointed.

  19. Lies…. the Donald is keeping all the money for himself. We, the people, will never see nothing. He destructive for amerikka. Actions speak the loudest. Sad but true. 😢

  20. What a fucking retard. It won’t add a penny to national debt as this is inflationary. They are printing new money. This will decrease the value of the spend but bolster revenues to decrease debt with new cash flow. Did you learn about economics from the guy at the vape shop? The only reason you have a job is because you are a contrarian that drives views. But you are still as dumb as a box of rocks
