Remember when he said he'd end the Ukraine war in 1 day? Lmao

Or that time he said would release the unredacted Epstein files and then refused to release it even after Congress passed a law saying he had to release it?

Amazing that people are still deluded enough to believe anything he says.

Lmao. There is no 5k check coming, he’s just going to laugh at you and other people that can be manipulated so easily.

How’s that doge check? How’s that Ukraine/Russia war being over in 1 day? How’s that no new wars (check Iran)? Epstein file situation… or when he tells you inflation and many prices like oil are lower than Biden?

If you vote Republican the economy is guaranteed to get even more fucked for you than it already is. If he really were actually serious about getting rid of income tax or giving you $5000 he'd just do it.

If you want your cost of living to improve you need to get the Republicans out of there so we can get rid of the tariffs and end the pointless and stupid wars that are driving up costs of living and bankrupting this country.

Vote however you want. There won’t be any money no matter who wins. He’s lying like he always does. He could give that money out now if he wanted to, but he isn’t going to.

Even if republicans win you won't get. It would screw up our already screwed up economy. Just a lot worse.

He would need approval from Congress. It wouldn't pass the Senate and then he could blame democrats for you not getting the check. I dont know why that angle isnt highlighted more in the news stories.

u/aznoone 5h ago

But if say on aca or anything similiar could that $5000 bump you up to no subsidies costing you even more?

Put one hand out for all the checks Trump promised. Every day they dont arrive, shit in the other hand. Watch which one fills up first.

Lol. If income tax was ever removed. That 5K will turn into 5 bucks. Inflation will absolutely explode and the stock market will implode. It's dark and brutal and the end of the country. But.....I'm vindictive and willing to see it happen just to watch Bezo, Musk, Thiel and all them lose their collective minds as at that point they're rubes just like the rest of us as they can't afford all the shit they own because it's all leveraged against stocks that are worthless.
