Trump, being President, can't issue $5000 checks even if he wanted to. Which he doesn't. It would come from Congress. They spend money. Notice they aren't mentioning they'd do this? Because they are not immune to criminal prosecution like the President, and they KNOW this is a bribery offer

The wives of both our President and Vice-President are immigrants. That wouldn't be odd in any administration except this one because they are rabidly anti-immigrant. It's almost as if they don't believe in what they "preach"

To Trump, only the offer to give you $5000 has any value to him. He's trying to bribe you you to go out and vote for his party. Giving you the money after you've done what he wanted, isn't in his interest so you aren't getting paid. Like contractors he's worked with in the past. It's his MO

I keep saying this, but it's feeling more and more true. Trump wants the GOP to lose bigly in the mid-terms so they are in the desperate position he needs them in for 2028 when he tries to run again. He is forcing them to cozy up to him now, knowing how deeply unpopular he is. To drag them down.

If I'd paid for a car and was still waiting on delivery after two years, I'd be angry. I'd be even more angry if they told me it would only take them two more years to deliver the vehicle This is what happened to GOP voters. They were sold something and are being asked to buy it again, undelivered

I don't think it is just high gas prices dooming Trump. It's that his followers are watching him flail fecklessly trying to figure out how to low gas prices. He might as well be waving his arms and chanting to lower gas prices. They've finally realized he doesn't know how to do anything

Every reason we think health insurance is good, single-payer is better. Larger pooled costs and more bargaining power with health care providers. The difference is one has to earn profit enough to justify itself. The other has to work.

Trump wants to make this election all about him. He's on the ballot. His words. What candidate would bar MS NOW, CNN, or Politico while trying to run a campaign? Not a sane one. Not one who felt that they had a good sign to show off. Trump wants the GOP to lose now so they will need him for 2028

"I don't do politics" worked well when the political differences were if we needed to raise corporate taxes or income tax to pay for Medicaid expansion "I don't do politics" ended when one of the two parties said half of humans aren't human. "I don't do politics" agrees with that party by default

Trump could get his Senate and his House to pass his $5000 dividend today, if it were anything but a bribe. The only reason he'd wait until after the election is if it were to bribe us to vote his way. Trump also never follows through on a deal if he doesn't have to. You'd have already voted, so...

It's baffling that SCOTUS already rules that Trump has no authority to implement emergency tariffs, yet he's using that as his sole tool in a trade war against Canada. Almost as if SCOTUS only has power if it enhances Trump's authority and is ignored otherwise

If Trump had been out of the public eye since June, you'd want answers. No direct communication or even anything pretending to be from him for over 2 months. You'd demand answers But not for Mitch McConnell? Gut check. It isn't because you don't feel you deserve an answer. You do It's political

Trump imposes high tariffs. The companies universally pass the cost on to us. SCOTUS declares these tariffs unconstitutional. Refunds go to companies who pass none of it on to the consumer. This was a massive wealth transfer from consumers to companies while providing ZERO additional benefit to us
