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

Hasn't he already promised us money that no one except corporations have gotten?
remember that 5k from the doge savings that he promised? Is that the same 5k?
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.
~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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
He is a professional troll, bully and a lifelong con man.
He did not say where the money would come from.
That's because it's a lie, just like the other times he lied.
Thank God. I already spent my DOGE and tariff checks.
/s
If I am elected president, I will give every American 50,000.
Literally just saw some dumbass online suggesting we pay for it by just adding it to the national debt.
The mere announcement was enough to tank the price of US treasuries: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-09-10/trump-payout-pledge-adds-to-bond-market-jitters-as-auction-looms
Seems other countries aren’t to keen to help finance Trump’s tension fart of an idea…
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.
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...
In a functioning democracy such an election promise is a crime,
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.
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!
And today, kids, we will learn how inflation works...
Guy can’t even get us lower gas or grocery prices and morons are gonna believe him
Even if they win he still won’t pay.
I cannot understand how MAGAts don't understand that. He just says random shit and hope it sticks enough to make him win.
I have a few coworkers who are all in on Trump no matter what and it’s always amazing to hear them weekly. Say the same thing that he says the war is over. Gas is going to be cheap renaming the lake somehow helps us since his speech about giving $5000 after the midterms he is so excited and so ready for their Donnie dollars.
Lucy tells Charlie once again that there is no way she will pull the football away at the last second and that he should kick the ball with all his might...
He did not say where the money would come from.
Same place the tariff rebates came from: nowhere.
Not to mention all the tariffs collected by him don't add up to 250m americans x $5000, not even close. In a way, I hope the americans believe him, so that they don't give the rest of the world any hope that the US can be reasonable, but on the other hand, jesus f christ we've all had enough of the sweaty tangerine
Gods, he thinks people are dumb. I mean, people keep falling for it but come the fuck on, man!
I hate to agree with trump but, Americans are dumb... they have elected him TWICE into office!
Anyone who believes Trump is like an abused partner saying "He is sorry he hit me, but he promises he's going to take me somewhere nice." GET OUT OF THERE!
If you vote for my party in the next general election i will give every one 10 Fantastillions
Add that to all the other "your cheque is in the mail" gambits that trump throws out there and american citizens won't need to work or contribute at all anymore! /s
He thinks Americans can be bought of with $5,000?
Oh God.
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.
