He did not say where the money would come from.
How on earth are they allowed to put this promise on the literal white house website? This country is a joke and danger to both itself and the rest of the world.
Oh gee, maybe someone should drop into the night and kidnap him with a helicopter.
But who would do such a thing?
It’s not legal but they don’t care.
…or which kind of dollar it would be. There is e.g. the Guyanese dollar, which even offers a 5000 dollar note. It might even buy you a McD menu.
ah, so he lies again. Conman tries conning more: More at 10.
I can actually hear the cousin fuckers getting excited.
I love how he is literally just playing put scenes from Idiocracy in real time now
I would accept EU paying everybody in USA $5000 if you got Trump and his gang to the gallows.
Hasn’t he already promised us money that no one except corporations have gotten?
Surely this time will be different though!
Like 3 or 4 times I think
DOGE checks, tariff refunds, something about an Obamacare refund I think.
remember that 5k from the doge savings that he promised? Is that the same 5k?
Disclaimer: $5000 in TRUMP cryptocoins, which will be worthless 2min after you have received it.
Soon as my Doge check and my tariff rebate check arrives.
I promise everyone eleventy bajillion dollars if they don’t vote for him and his moron squad.
Someone could argue you can’t deliver those billions. That person might not be on Lemmy, but let me say this: if you vote for Trump and do get 5000$ from him, his batshit crazy politics will certainly cost you more than that. At the same time, if he loses and the US goes back to ‘normal’, you might not get elevently bajillion from this guy but you will get a more capable leader that takes economy advice more serious which at the end of the line will mean more money for everyone who is not a billionaire. It really is an easy choice. Don’t vote for Trump, you’re already finding out why you shouldn’t. Don’t do it please.
I didn’t say billions I said bajillions and I am just as likely to deliver on my promise as trump is, which is to say not at all.
But pointless sarcasm aside you are 100% correct.
you are 100% correct
And so are you.
It will come from the same fund where the tariff refund came from. In other words, the one in his addled brain. Problem is he ends up stealing from that one too.
Alternative title for this article should be: Compulsive liar lies again, and the media still, inexplicable, pretends he sometimes tells the truth.
In a functioning democracy such an election promise is a crime, but so are Super PACS and gerry-mandering and data scraping from voters via scam sites or abusing of entirely different public databases. Also, in a functioning democracy such crimes get prosecuted.
Functioning democracies have things like healthcare, and education, and workers rights, and…
It is a crime, but consequences are for the poors.

Not a crime crime. In fact, being able to make election promises with being criminalized is one of the most basic democratic rights. It is similar to how it is democratically correct that being a felon doesn’t technically disqualify Trump from running for President.
But in a functional democracy, such a promise should make the voters absolutely refuse to vote for Trump. It is the equivalent of deliberately taking on credit card debt for unnecessary spending, at a time where you are already almost bankrupt.
~270,000,000 adult Americans X $5,000
$1,350,000,000,000.
Right.
Don’t forget the economic shock that would follow. Everyone has a few grand in their piggy bank? Time to raise prices, buying power has just gone up. Then people complain they still have the same standard of living. Salaries stay the same. Prices won’t go back down. The dollar is worth even less.
Guess who wins there.
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.

Lock him up.
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
Could this be per offense? I wonder if that would set a new Guinness record for longest sentence.
228 million years seems plenty fair.
A bit lenient even.
