“Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits,” he said. “It’s one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and the Senate, $5,000 to every adult. And we can do it and the Democrats can’t, because the Democrats don’t have any income, and they’re gonna drive us in[to] a depression. They won’t have any money.”
Bitch you already promised us a tariff refund check.
$5k sounds awesome as an incentive to let you murder people and grift and destroy everything. Where do I sign up?
Impose tariffs, make all of us pay it, then dangle some refund in front of your poor white trash voters to get them to vote again.
Hey, c’mon… They can’t read. They aren’t curious. They have no intellectual ability. Give 'em a break for being stupid fucking morons who condemned us to this shit, y’know?
Sarcasm. Fuck those people. I enjoy knowing that they keep getting fucked by this admin as much (or harder) as the rest of us. I only wish we didn’t have to suffer with them.
I worry more about the rich white trash already in power.
It’s the government’s money, not republican’s money. A different party inherits the government and therefore can do what you’re proposing. They’d be in the same situation.
So, here’s the deal….
Everyone here can opine on how ludicrous this is, agree with one another about how fucking stupid he is, and circlejerk over how annoying it is that he does this dumb shit-
But he does it because he knows people are going to believe it. It’s not about wether or not he will make good on the promise- it’s only about getting the idiots to dance when he commands them to.
He is buying votes with our money, and it’s going to work like a fucking charm.
Think of it like this:
You know how during trials, some lawyers will say shit that is objectionable, and then stricken from the record? This is entirely on purpose. The jury can’t “unhear” it. Once it’s said, it’s done and it’s effect is now in play.
So, the moment that vapid disgusting bag of child-raping gelatinous flesh opened his shithole of a mouth, all the mentally challenged minions that fall at his feet bought it at a premium.
He’s not paying them shit. But they believe he will and as a result, will do exactly as he says.
We’re already in a recession you dumb fuck
I would say it’s beyond at this point.
“Profits.” what a POS.
It’s a rambling of a senile old man, why the media is reporting that instead of ignoring it.
You say “yes yes”, nod and put away the cameras…
LOL somehow only Republicans are capable of this because Democrats bad.
This statement is literally unconstitutional. Plainly, unambiguously, no mask, no nuance, just unconstitutional.
The Treasury handles all of this accounting and congress directs spending. The Executive does not just get to use revenue received from its activities as a slush fund. Basically all of the US Government’s revenue is collected by agencies under the Executive. Claiming that they can simply take tariff revenue and turn it into dividend checks is the exact same constitutional argument that he could take IRS revenue and turn it into Bitcoin.
It’s so plainly illegal, and it demonstrates exactly why the current SCOTUS obsession with extremely strict standing requirements is a flawed concept.

I know that this is all Trump’s blowhard bullshit, but the logic (and we know there isn’t any) could easily be: If we have the money, and it’s not his money, but money made from tariffs, then there’s nothing to stop the Democrats from also giving everyone a $5000 check…
Bro, tariffs are paid by us.
You’re promising to give us our money back? Like you can do that? Maybe just fucking do it right now?
Nobody should vote for republicans this guy screws everyone over all the time. If republicans win they will tariff harder and take even more away because their policy approach is fuck you that’s why.
But hey maybe we’ll get some more asshole racist ai video entertainment or whatever.
Yes, tariffs are paid by you, but do you believe that someone stupid enough to vote for the orange-haired monkey would understands this? For them, the farm shop or Walmart just raised prices because things got more expensive.
Except those tariff refunds go back to the companies (even though taxpayers pay), like Nintendo for example, and then they can decide whether or not to refund. Most won’t.
Don’t forget the massive chunk he added to the national debt. He stole America’s wallet, ran up the credit card, and now expects forgive and forget because he handed back $5.
And the sad thing is, it’ll work on a sizable chunk of the US electorate.
“Because of
tariffstaxes, I think I can bribe the stupider among you with your own fucking money.”–donnie dumb dumb
It’s gonna work on a good third of the voting American public, tho
The hell did he say?
Dumb things, the three largest democratic states have higher gdp and larger discretionary state funds than all of the red states combined. Republicans don’t have the funds if anything.
I’m going to buy soooooo much iced coffee, eat hot chip, and lie
