    Same place the tariff rebates came from: nowhere.

    You know what'd be better? Electing DSA candidates all across the country, taxing all the billionaires and megacorps, and redistributing that wealth unconditionally to everyone as $5000 UBI checks every year

    It reminds me of Batman the first Tim Burton one in 1989, in which the Joker promises to give away a ton of money in the town square (so he can kill them all with poison gas).

    I'm also reminded of the anti-union signs that suggest getting a game console instead of paying union dues.

    Probably coming from all the taxes they've taken from us and which we will have to pay back next year anyway, so this is just a gimmick for his idiot followers again.

    ~270,000,000 adult Americans X $5,000

    $1,350,000,000,000.

    Right.

    Oh, just another Trillion to the debt of $40T… no big deal, right? Man, who do we have to write to write off that debt? No one is buying it, and we have to buy it home. It’s an ouruborus of debt at this point.

    Will Mexico pay for it, too?

    ... by the way, how are you doing on releasing those tax returns? Any progress?

    Also, I'm still eagerly awaiting your massive health care bill that you said you'd release.... 10 years ago.

    Still waiting on those tarriff refunds! And lower egg costs. And lower gas costs. But I'm sure it's being worked on and likely held up by those dirty dems!

    This reeks of desperation, that means he's scared. Don't let up, get out and VOTE!

    It's not desperation, its not his money and if it actually happened, it would hamstring the incoming Dem president in 2028:

    “Only I can make this promise to you,” he said, adding that the Republicans would have to win both the House of Representatives and the Senate for the money to be paid out.

    And not only wouldn't it be his money, it wouldn't even be "real" money. There's not a trillion dollars laying around for this (literally what it would cost).

    Since Trump's first term in 2016, the debt has doubled from 19 trillion to 40 trillion. This will get tacked on and the debt will be used as an excuse not to fund social programs.

    Reminds me of the time when Joe Biden promised $2000 COVID relief checks, and then when Dems won Georgia, those checks magically became $1400 instead.

    Don't trust a politician (and especially Donald) when they promise shit like this. This is the third time he's gone to this well. (Remember the imaginary DOGE dividend and the tariff rebate checks?)
