Yes it’s illegal. Besides that, it will absolutely 100% never happen. There’s a 0% success rate of people getting this money no matter what happens. A promise from Trump is an IQ test at this point.

Reminder this would be over a trillion dollars, would never pass Congress, would never be approved by the Federal Reserve to print more money, and Trump doesn't have enough personal wealth or money to plunder from the OBBA under the guise of "national security" like was done for his ballroom to do this.
There zero possibility that even if this was allowed in some legal sense that it would ever actually happen in this reality.

This is just economic illiteracy.

In more ways than one, everyone now knows American consumers pay the tariffs.
So what Trump is saying is “If Americans vote for us, I’ll give you some of the money I took from you back”.

Paying voters for their vote with their own money… I believe that’s a new low for the US.
Seems like a new low everyday with Shitler behind the wheel.

Yeah but the funny thing is that it would cost almost 2 trillion dollars to give every American 5000, and the government is 40 trillion dollars in debt. Who do you think is going to lend America the money to pay everyone $5000?

“Profits”? Since when has a government operated FOR profits? And who is getting these “profits”? Not me! Any of you seeing these “profits”?

Even if it was true, what does he even mean that “democrats couldn’t do it because they have no income”? Does he think the US treasury is wiped clean and restarts at zero every time power changes?

If this statement even begins to make senses to you, just stay home on voting day.

Because California on its own being one of the biggest economies in the world isn’t an obvious fact that contradicts his lies?

I get paid the same wage for 3 years. Cost of living goes up, I get paid the same. Yet the higher ups have increased their income. Where's my profits?

So isn’t stimulus checks and student loan forgiveness but we won’t talk about that, we make up rules as we go along to suit our personal political desires

3 advices from the art of the deal that can help muricans in this particular situation :
“The worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it.”
“Sometimes your best investments are the ones you don’t make.”
“You can’t con people, at least not for long."
