This most likely won't happen. If it does, it'll be taxpayer money anyway. Nothing has been gained from tariffs that could be used to fund this, that just doesn't make any sense.
Seeing a president communicate the way he does is truly a national embarrassment.

So if we take a ballpark of 300M people x $2K...
$600B in bribes available, but fuck giving people food support and healthcare...

Yes, you're taking it directly out of our pockets, jenius.
$2,000 x 350,000,000 people = 700 Billion Dollars btw

I won't turn it down if it shows up, but Trump can fuck right off.

Trump promises a lot of things. Like, SO many things.

Yeah a lot of voters going into the last election had the idea they were going to get immediate government rebate checks - even before he was inaugurated, somehow. $5k was the number I kept hearing. It was all based on a rumor but it spread like wildfire. This shit works, unfortunately. It's like the lotto that they actually won once.

If you picture them with action figures in their hands when they’re speaking, it makes sense.
It’s like you asked a class of evelyn year olds to solve these problems
