Just remember: Trump gutted USAID, slashed our public health workforce, and withdrew from the WHO. Whether it’s the pneumonic plague or Ebola, we’re less prepared to track and respond to outbreaks. We deserve better.

If the money Trump claims to pay is tied to an election result, it isn’t a “cash payment” or “dividend” or “rebate” or “stimulus.” It is a bribe. Plain and simple. Calling it anything else accepts a false premise and helps Trump and Republicans cover up how corrupt it truly is.
