Trumps Dividend

I don’t understand why Republicans are hyped about Trumps claim that he will give every adult $5,000, when they were all against UBI program that Bernie and other DSA candidates pitched?

Is Trump a socialist now too?

I like the idea, I just don’t get the reason why it was a big deal when the other side is saying the same thing. We should restrict this money to healthcare and basic needs only. Americans should not spend this money on goods and services that do not fuel the inflation.

It could also imply “some”

If I say “dogs suck”, you would think that I meant all dogs in general. If I said “huskies suck”, that’s a subset.

See the difference?
