Typical. They packed everyone into 1 section for photo ops.

He wouldn't pay anyway:

Honestly, there’s so much indicating we’re kinda screwed, but then there’s shit like this which indicates there’s still a CHANCE. Either way… no matter the obstacle, VOTE IN NUMBERS NEVER BEFORE SEEN. And if they cheat… well. This is the last time we can play nice. After this, it’ll be guillotine time, or we get ground under a fascist boot, with no in-between.

I’d say it was shocking that people believe him but tbh it’s really not. It’s actually really pathetic at this point.

WHO ARE THE FLY LARVA THAT SHOW UP, THE WORST OF HUMANITY, tRUMP IS FUCKING INSANE !!!!
arocktrucker777
This is illegal. Bribery for votes
psmith00
shouldn't the very offer of such a deal be a crime for which he could be impeached? has anyone got a site with a list of all his impeachable offences while in office? concentrate on those, get him away from the protection he gives to the Epstein files and then they can be released, the criminals prosecuted and justice be gotten for the victims both surviving and not.
you're not going to be able to do it the other way around, using the files to impeach him.

if i get $5000 as a new entitlement, i will have to pay $5000 in taxes to provide it. is this math obscure in any way?
CrackWhoresAndCheese
He is not even worth that much. It is illegal to offer that I am sure. $1.349 trillion more debt?
CrackWhoresAndCheese
269.8 million adults.
YuffieK
That many counts of felony bribery just by making the offer.
DianNaoChong
Thats a check big enough that if he did it, would really fuck up the economy. It's effectively a threat.

Any source?

It’s from his speech. It’s all over the news by now.

$40 trillion in debt. Can afford endless wars and tax cuts for billionaires, can't afford universal healthcare or childcare though. He promised us tariff payment checks, then tariff refunds, but yeah sure "trust me, this time."

So, I laughed and make the joke to myself that he's bribing people. But if you really think about it, every 'promise' a politician makes in order to try and win your vote can be considered a 'bribe'. "Free school lunches if you elect me!".....that's 'technically' a bribe to people.
But this feels more like a real bribe than that even lol.
todaytomorrowwillbeyesterday
This, from the guy who never pays... His congressional followers will ALL do it. Then get stiffed weather or not if he wins
georgejimmydoodle
I know that SCOTUS said that it is not possible for anyything Trumo does to be unlawful, but isn't this paying for votes, and unlawful?
Deepfire007
So, Dems, propose 10k. No one will see a single dime, so it doesn't matter what is told.
dadof2as
Past....that ain't happening
Unknownhost7
Yeah like those other checks he promised then said he didn't promise any checks.
Btw...trump rapes children
quintal
or just that they know they'll get away with it and it will yield more votes
alexw04
He can't fund it, bullshit, all he can do is lie no intention of paying anything. Stupid asshole probably doesn't realize he's just publicly made a bribe. That's another felony on his record.
OrkenMork
You know? I don't believe him...
AWarningToOthers
Right after the the $5000 Doge check and the two $2000 tariff checks.
OnyxTurret
Does these people have the memory of goldfish?
hogeyegrex
These people barely have object permanence.
wadatahmydamie
I’ll put it on the pile next to my $2 a gallon gas and my edible groceries
TheOldSchoolisBack
Fear not, fellow patriots. Our esteemed Vice President Vance has filled in the details: the payments will be funded by tariff revenue, and rich people won’t get any of it!
xmaneds
but, but... the tariffs are paid by american consumers! /s and also /s, this is now Double-Sarcasm
OrkenMork
Buying votes is illegal, right?
philmoregraves
Elon was doing it, and when it was called out it was all "jk you guys actually didnt have a chance for 1m we had these ppl preselected." It doesnt matter if nothing is being done. Even the guarantees that dont come to fruition arent being caught up as fraud (which if I had any real say I would said its either a bribe or fraud, pick which illegal thing ur guilty of so we can prosecute), but nope. Nothing
sauvrel
Used to be
TinyBadger101
Yes. And? We can add it to the other very large pile of laws he's broken with no consequences.
GlenL
So is raping children . . .
killergrooves85
If it is, it’s a violation of state law because elections are administered by the state. Musk got in a lot of trouble for trying to buy votes in I wanna say Wisconsin?
Camelspotting
Not if he stops the vote.

Laws don't seem to apply to presidementia & twitler.
AndrewZabar
Presidementia! I’m gonna remember that one. I’ve just always called him either The Orange Sow or His Pigness, Pumpkin Monster or just The Dump. Or Fuckface. Or the piece of shit. Or Mr. Please Die. Herr Drumpf. Actually the Drumpf one was originally just a sarcastic Germanization of his surname but I decided one day to look it up. Sure enough his family name was originally Drumpf and of Germanic origin. How about that.
Cebrail
It is, but buying involves payment and unless Trump has stashed 1.35 TRILLION $ somewhere in his ass, that'll never happen. Even if he ever intended to do so
AndrewZabar
Wouldn’t matter. He could literally actually pay voters at the booth. Have you forgotten he owns the goddamn Supreme Court and the entire Justice Department? Unless one of his many sycophants decides to pube up and defy him, he along with the few wealthiest men in the world, have acquired this country as their personal property. Bought & paid for.
slack3rdav3
is it illegal if you never pay?
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
Elon didn't pay, did he? They pretty much dismissed the charges.
Marikhen
Actually, yes, yes it is.
Krytture
Is it illegal if you control the justice department?
koopaya
Is it illegal if you eat pieces of illegal for breakfast?

A bribe dependent on action doesn't have to be paid out for the bribe to be effective. If the offer coerces the action, fuck the payout!
BeetBoxer
"We decline to hear this case because no money changed hands and therefore there are no harms, and without harms no one has standing to bring this suit." -scotus, in the near future
Maverickaura
Guillotine volunteers you mean?
YuffieK
Which is why just making the offer is a criminal offense
VulcanTourist
And thanks to the Supreme Court immunity ruling, NOTHING the President does now is illegal. He's literally above the law. Did you forget about that little detail?
foolkiller333
The full context of that is official duties. A bribe is very much not official duties and would have no immunity clause. The issue is that the DOJ has decided to not charge Presidents making them into kings and directly contradicting the entire reason the US was supposedly founded...
Daliena06
And who determines what counts as "official duties"? Wouldn't happen to be the six Grand Wizards of the Supreme Church, would it?
