I mean, they're calling it a bribe. But it's much more like a swindle.

Trump's been promising big checks in the mail any day now since his '16 run. Except for the COVID Bux, he's never delivered.

He also literally told people to cheat and vote multiple times.

Last I checked, real Americans pledge to the constitution, not a person, including the president. It’s always projection with them.

quite the turn from the previous "...we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote." (The Dipshit in Chief, DJT, July 2024)

"Bribe" implies the money was ever going to be paid to anyone

It's a bribe even if you never get paid.

Liberals screeching and gnashing their teeth at the thought of a politician actually offering a material benefit to voting for them.

This isn't a stimulus. It's literally a bribe. A stimulus has no strings attached, this has a prerequisite, and paying to get someone to vote for a candidate it's explicitly illegal.
