So this is where snap money has gone too
I’ll add that to my $5,000 DOGE dividend. Why do news outlets report what he says when he’s obviously lying?
Revenue
Because in theory that’s just what news outlets should be doing. He says something and they should bring that to the people. Whether or not it is a lie or the public considers it a lie is not news YET. We’re better of receiving this information even if we know it to be a lie because we should be up to date of whatever the turd is saying.
No, it really isn’t. That’s a press release. Or the Truth post Trump made.
News filters for worthy events, explains mechanics, and adds other context to help its readers understand why this thing is worth knowing and what it might mean.
I’ll bet money that he’s going to actually try to do this.
Remember when Congress voted to send Americans assistance checks during the pandemic — and Trump plastered his name all over those checks for shameless political points?
This guy 100% wants to send out “Trump” checks again.
Yeah, I think he both really wants to do it, and at the same time is absolutely lying about having done any actual work or planning to make it happen. Trump love nothing more than to just hang stuff out there, knowing full well he’ll capture the news cycle whether or not anything actually has a chance of happening here. But literally the entire country is now governed based on a large group of cronies and enablers trying to interpret his stray demented thoughts, so I’m not sure what we expected.
“When Congress voted” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Trump steals people’s money, then gives some back to them, and that’s supposed to pacify them?
How about not stealing people’s money to begin with?deleted by creator
and that’s supposed to pacify them?
Every single MAGAt will instantly forget any complaints the second they have a check in hand.
It doesn’t actually sound like anyone will get a check “lots of ways” probably means it’s never going to happen, but all the MAGAs will point to him just saying this and gushing about how generous he is
That’s weird, because the COVID checks were insanely popular and just giving everyone a $2000 check with his name on it would be great politics. I guess it’s good they’re doing it differently.
Bread and circuses
that was pretty much hamstrung by lich mcconnel, who laughed at the idea of giving poors anything, hes worst than trump by the way, until THE LICH WAS PRESSURE to vote on it.
Well you have to factor 2 things, there still was a battle with congress to get those checks out during covid. (I remember Bernie walking into congress with the massive printout of trumps tweet saying he was going to send out checks), and of course factoring in that trump knew he wanted to get elected again. It’s 3 years away from the next presidential election… and him getting a 3rd term probably doesn’t involve an election.
Welcome to the game they all taught us not to play.
Hello, let me introduce you to capitalism
why not steal it from other rich people and give to the actual people.
Also hand out cash to people for their medical bills bypassing insurance companies:

Obvs that’s a lot worse than it sounds.
Lol, bet he’s only saying this so when the Supreme Court comes down on his illegal tariffs he can say he was going to give us that money.
I was just about to, but you interrupted me!
Technically, If the Supreme Court rules that his tariffs were illegal to begin with, he will be expected to reimburse everyone affected. That may be all this is. He’s just trying to spin it as spontaneous generosity, rather than a court ordered obligation.
He won’t remember any of this by tomorrow, much less when or if SCrOTUS does anything.
remember his 1500% reduction in medications, we never heard of it again after he mentioned it.
In two weeks. Very special. Don’t want to say much now but it’s gonna be really special.
The Trump 2 week chicken taco timeline.
He started with “solving crime in Chicago in 1 day”
Then they had a Medicare plan just a week away, but he learned that that was too close for the right wing spin machine.
To be fair, he has followed through on his promise to be a “dictator on day 1”.
Lolz, for them it’s $5,000.
Oh look… Little ManBaby is trying to buy friends.
It’ll probably work, too, if he does it a month before midterms.
Well this wasn’t on my bingo card lol
Someone in the US care to explain?
Sure, we are dumb cattle animals. Free range chicken that think we are free. We pay them to keep it this way because real genuine human life is just way too scary. This $2000 will fund us dumb ass animal Americans to go on a spending spree to feel the freedom of escapism-lifestyles specifically marketed to us to keep us stupid to our true genuine human capabilities.
Explanation: he’s lying.
He’s lying, but also between healthcare costs, tarrif-driven inflation, grocery costs, and now cutting off food to millions of Americans $2000 doesn’t mean shit.
This orange fuck with his grossly transparent attempts to bribe the poors
The sad part is it’ll probably work.
The ultra wealthy already got their ‘tariff dividend’, in the form of not tax breaks and a discrete heads-up of when to play the market to real maybe amounts of extra wealth.
As for the rest, this offer is just more bullshit. If it does surface (which is very unlikely) there will be some strings attached. And it will in no way fully compensate most people for the turmoil caused by these tariffs.
How about you use that money to pay SNAP instead?
Because he can say this and it won’t happen.
Not happening
Just ballparking that there are 250 million non-high-earners, at $2k a pop that’s $500 billion. Two thousand dollars won’t change anyone’s life, but $500bn is a big chunk of the federal budget.
2k would save me rn.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to trivialize that amount of money.
$2k is a whole lot of money, especially if you consider that most people will immediately spend it, so other people will earn it. a dollar goes much further than only one dollar if it moves through many hands.
also, what do you think is the total cost that tariffs have cost you since january?
“The $2,000 dividend could come in lots of forms, in lots of ways, George,” Bessent told anchor George Stephanopoulos. “You know, it could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing on the president’s agenda – you know, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, deductibility of auto loans.”
🚨scam alert🚨
Yeah, I’m on SSD and don’t even make enough to pay taxes to begin with, nor can I drive. If I have to shop around for insurance to replace Medicaid I’ll just get denied for pre-existing conditions
As far as I know, those haven’t been reestablished, but you can bet it’s on the list.
