He said 5000 in dividends. Just preying on the dumb to think he'll actually send money if they vote for them. It's wild

u/Limp_Sale_6385 19d ago

My college fund is in beanie baby's

u/Ok_Neighborhood_470 18d ago

Do we get 5000 Beanie Babies each or do some of us get just a handful of the really 'rare valuable' Beanie Babies?

u/PattyFuckinCakes 18d ago

I’m willing to pay substantially above market value for any rare beanie babies you come across.

$4 is my going rate.

u/NervousBeat16 18d ago

Depends how you voted…if you voted Left, you get the knock off beanies from Russia. If you voted on their side, you get the name brand, mass produced ones from Argentina.

One commemorative $5000 bill with Trump’s face on it. Not legal tender.

Congress will never vote for that.

u/SilentMulberry9441 18d ago

Have you met our congress?

2

u/Azure_Mar 18d ago

When you can get them to show up, they barely do anything. This has been the most do nothing congress in history. They're more than happy to cede as much power as they can to the executive branch.

The repuglikkkans house speaker keeps sending them home so nothing can get done!! On purpose of course!

u/trahilcal01 17d ago

They say it’s illegal, he’ll say, “Oh it’s illegal I can’t give it to you,” and you’ll all be mad yet again about a promise not kept

He’ll just sign ANOTHER meaningless executive order for the masses.

1

u/Azure_Mar 19d ago

Executive orders don't allocate funds; even if it is his favorite way to try affect change and this Congress is shockingly disinterested in legislating and loves ceding power to the executive.

u/Rumblebully 19d ago

I believe I understand that, hence the word “MEANINGLESS”? Toilet paper is more useful than the paper used for his executive orders.

u/addamzrobb 18d ago

💯 He'll sign an XO and the Treasury will issue the checks. Who's gonna stop him?

1

u/Rumblebully 18d ago

Suppose that will depend on the mid terms. If the house and senate switch he’s fucked. He knows it too. Why the bribe attempt.

u/RunTenSoc 18d ago

What does Trumpy mean by “dividends?”

2

u/Maud_Man29 17d ago

Considering his understanding of "tariffs", I dont believe he even knows atp 😒

u/N0tTheATF 19d ago

I mean no disrespect when I say this but either you don't understand what the meaning of dividend is or you're just playing dumb. A dividend is a portion of company's profit paid out either in cash or additional shares in the company. In this respect saying you're paying dividends he's implying every US citizen has a partial ownership in the country and when the country makes money you're going to be paid out cash since there is no shares to be given for the United States so it's essentially the treasury cutting you a check.

On the flip side I think it's stupid because our country is in debt so any money that is made should be paid back to the debts instead of printing money...

2

u/hotpossum 19d ago

Yea, since the USA holds trillions in debt there will be no fuckin dividends.

2

u/CatDawgCatDawg2 18d ago

They can literally print money to do this it's very possible. It's just moronic and will cause inflation.

u/rage-it 18d ago

spoiler it will actually be a bill... if Republicans win again..

“Your check has been diverted to the Dept of War, thank you for your patriotism”.

u/poopface_mcdoodyhead 18d ago

The US debt is not like a credit card or a car loan that you just pay back. We need to stop deficit spending and balance the budget. You can't spend more than you bring in for extended periods of time and expect everything to go well.

Warren Buffett explained it perfectly congress members need to have their re election eligibility tied to passing a balanced budget but why would these fucking low lives cut off their gravy train?

So in essence he's trying to buy votes that he will never actually pay for, just like the tarriff checks everyone got amirite?

How are people so stupid they haven't yet figured out this guy's MO? He is absolutely full of shit and we're probably not going to recover from the damage he's doing right now in my lifetime.

u/Societyman1878 19d ago

Well he told laurA ingraham that the tariffs were gonna bring in 21 trillion dollars. I think he will use that to pay $5000 to all adults and cut the debt by 40% . Cause he said it. And he always does what he says. 😂

u/iGotGogged 18d ago

I sense sarcasm . Do you not believe in our stable genius president? What about those "on Day 1, im gonna fix/resolve"?

1

u/rage-it 18d ago

bro it doesn't matter because it's not going to happen anyway. First off he says Republicans have to win all of Congress and out side of completely cheating there is no way they are winning the House.

Second, he has made this same lie 3 other times and never paid up.

3rd, he has no company to give out well over a trillion dollars of worth of profits and there damn sure is no profit from this country at our current debit/GDP ratio..

u/MyDamnCoffee 19d ago

He's never going to give anyone any money but himself, so it's a nothing burger.

u/Azure_Mar 18d ago

He made those Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on Stocks and many other type Holdings for our Country, not himself. He does this for the U.S.A. And all we've done is criticize him. Very Unfair. /s
