It’s basically the covid subsidies twice over… so, in theory it could be done… but realistically no it’s not going to happen, just like the tarrif refunds and the doge checks.
On the order of 1.5 Trillion. Never Going To Happen ™
I would believe Lucy holding the football long before Trump talking about giving anyone money.
It’s not his money. He has no problem spending your money.
Why spend your money when he can keep it for himself?
A Trump never pays his debts
If it’s from the government, yes, there’s nobody but taxpayers paying it - either by the Treasury, borrowing with interest or money printing that devalues everyone’s money.
Money comes from somewhere and the government is in effect a financial proxy for the public. He’s offering us our own money.
The billionaires certainly would not be paying for it.
If only ⅓ actually vote, that’s around 110m people (assuming all are adults of legal voting age). If about ⅓ actually identify as a Republican, that’s about 35k people. 35m x $5,000 = $175b. (Edited)
Considering Trump’s doubled his worth to over $11b (illegally) he could theoretically pay for it. Not that he will lol. But he made more than that on his crypto rug pull scheme, so… There’s that.Edit: there’s something like 340m people in the US, but obviously not all are over 18. I think I read a while back roughly a third of the country consider themselves more of an independent. That’s where I’m getting figures from.
Correction: 35 million people, not 35 thousand
Aw fuck thanks for catching my lack of 0s! Smh.
So $175 billion meaning he actually couldnt afford ir even if he wanted to.
