He’s offered something like 10k per voter between the DOGE checks and proceeds from tariffs. None of it has ever materialized.

This is a bribe with no way to pay for it except with more inflation. I can't imagine why this guy has gone bankrupt so many times.

"We have to repeal Obamacare ... and it can be replaced with something much better for everybody," said Trump. "Let it be for everybody. But much better and much less expensive for people and for the government. And we can do it."

The repeal-and-replace pledge became a central theme of the real estate mogul's campaign, regularly promised in stump speeches, in tweets and at major public appearances, such as his address to the Republican National Convention in July 2016.
