      Trump specifically said everyone gets the 5k. He’s a lying piece of shit who breaks laws every day but this is a bad example of that.

        You’re saying there’s a reason he couldn’t just give the money now? That’s the difference. There’s no reason he wouldn’t get it passed through right now he’s just trying to buy votes.

            Ok so there’s no reason he can’t just try and pass it now and he’s just trying to buy votes. Thanks for finally agreeing

              You would hypothetically get the 5k no matter who you voted for. Thats how government policies work. Whoever wins makes decisions for everyone.

              Idk what you’re not understanding.

                In the article you posted he just admitted in his own words that he won’t do it with the dems in the house. He does have final say in what gets passed in the end. He literally won’t “do it” unless they win. That means even if it was tried to be put through by dems he would spitefully veto. That’s his offer. He isn’t trying to pass 5k for people and dems are shutting it down he’s buying votes with a lie. Idk what you’re not understanding

                  Well, we can try it when he’s indictable but he can always make the defence that he wont because he can’t.

                  The only way this could be clearcut illegal is if he said only Republicans get the money.
