And so it's come to this:

Trump is so desperate he literally just offered to bribe the entire American electorate on camera.

If anyone is tempted to vote Republican to accept the bribe, I would just say;

* He would never actually give every American $ 5000

* Even if he did he did, IT'S YOUR ****ING MONEY!!!!!

I just knew this would come up with these idiots. They don't listen.

1. The trillions of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ of social programs bennies over the past 60 years were not a "bribe"? :thatsright:  ::)  :thatsright:

2. Why do I know that if I bothered to find a transcript of last night's speech that Trump said and meant something very different from Chasstev365's pretzellation?

While I think this is a very bad idea economically, the legacy media has already settled upon their preferred narrative: This proposal is likely illegal. The bribe thing is laughably a bad argument, how about proposing free healthcare and free childcare, are those not bribes?

It isn't illegal according to tax laws which are of course quite convoluted and difficult to understand unless one knows an expert in the field (hint, hint).
