The more faithful ones expect it shortly after their America 250 check, their tariff rebate, and whatever TF the other one was. One was $2000, one was $3000, and the America 250 one was $1776.

If somebody owed me $6776, I wouldn't trust a single thing out their mouth until they started making good on what they owe me. Just saying.

    He randomly brought it up like 2 times, and none of them were this week. He's already forgotten about it.

    Link for those who have forgotten that this was a literal quote. Was it just a joke? No. It's a joke, AND ALSO it's how he actually feels.

    That's not what "gimmick" means. They mean "Lie"!

    He also framed it as “if they win”… so seems illegal.

    If you vote for me and we win, I’ll give you 5k.

    Note: And it’ll likely only be certain states.

    If you're stupid enough to believe that you'll get a check you might want to sit this election out

    It's like a billion plus in discretionary funding they have no idea where to get.
