Corey Rayburn Yung @coreyryung.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I understand that people want Trump's ridiculous $5k check proposal to be a crime. But it's not. He is just describing (falsely) what will happen if the GOP wins. He is not paying anyone to vote. It's just a pathetic campaign promise. 1610211
Josef Petrák @jspetrak.name · 10/09/2026Not a crime. Just hypocrisy to cry about socialists and then do the most socialist thing you can make during elections. Sorry not sorryc Donald. 010
Robert Black @hurricanexyz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I don't think that's true? Like he's not saying "the Republican Congress will do this," he said "I will do it, to reward people for electing Republicans" (I think?) 140

Lesley McDowell @lesleymcdowell.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Yes, it's actually funny that it's not a bribe but he's making it sound like one! What it is, is an empty promise. He might as well promise gold unicorns speaking French for everyone. 051
Need Daily Bloom County @ndbc.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Offering a bribe for a vote is a crime even if it's never paid. 000
Corey Rayburn Yung @coreyryung.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Trump commits plenty of other crimes. Let's not miss the big picture with wishful thinking. 1352
Serendipity? @quasibooks.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It’s no crime to promise sunshine It is only if you hand it out And you’ll pay for it big time Trump’s just a ticket tout 000
K. Ward Cummings @kwardcummings.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Where is the $5k Trump promised each American from DOGE cuts? Or the $2k Trump promised from instituting tariffs?! Where’s that money?! 011
flynn71.bsky.social @flynn71.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I hope at least in the future we can consider prohibiting the president from directly tying Government funds to a desired election outcome. 100
dennisbmurphy @dennisbmurphy.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Don't give us your bullshit- he is trying to bribe for a vote 000
fraac @fraac.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It's a brilliant promise. The only reason politicians don't regularly give out $5000 is it would benefit poor people, and screw those guys lol. 000
David Hannaman @dagnabitty.bsky.social · 10/09/2026If it looks like a bribe and pays like a bribe it’s a bribe. 010
tj12345.bsky.social @tj12345.bsky.social · 10/09/2026No. He said if Rs win he'll sign a check for 5k. He said "The reason the Democrats can’t do that, is because they don’t do tariffs." He said it was continent on an R win explicitly. Why wouldnt he work with Rs and Ds to keep the tariffs and therefore still give $. why not give $ now? 100
Onemorebite @onemorebite.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Your argument is that since he obviously wouldn’t really pay, then it’s not a bribe? 120
