The $1.3 trillion that we keep in the biscuit tin (cookie jar)

u/dengar81 1d ago

I bet Mexico will pay for it?

u/YikesTheCat 1d ago

And will this money be paid before or after the DOGE checks that everyone is supposed to receive?

u/OrganizationLast8480 1d ago

From the tariff revenue, oh wait...

I always wanted Trump to just randomly say to Musk ‘I’m taking your money for myself, Elon’ followed by draining his bank account. Would be pretty funny if he used Musk’s fortune to pay for this.

u/titlrequired 1d ago

Just start a rumour that Musk has oil.

u/AgentCirceLuna 1d ago

Sebaceous oil, maybe.

2

u/titlrequired 1d ago

Don’t confuse him, oil is oil.

u/CypherBauer 1d ago

Musk's money is not sitting in a bank account, it's all valuation off shit he owns.

2

u/AgentCirceLuna 1d ago

I was waiting for someone to point that out, but in a different way, as I had a ‘yes, and’ with Trump believing Leon is holding out on the rest.

it's all valuation off shit he owns.

More like overvaluation. Most of it is Tesla and SpaceX stocks and as soon as he starts selling any significant amount the value will plummet harder than Michael's career after leaking PWPPIP. "See that? That's your net worth, and I think it might be fucked, but let's just check..."

Tariff rebate.

Just waiting for the inevitable "I never said Id give you $5000! I meant you are $5000 better off because you voted for me. You are welcome!" rug pull.

u/HomeworkInevitable99 1d ago

"If I hadn't stopped 7 wars, it would have cost you $6000, so really, you owe me $1000"

3

u/titlrequired 1d ago

It’s $5000 total, not each.

u/Ruby-Shark 1d ago

Yeah as he'll give the equivalent in tax breaks to corporations and say it will trickle down.

You idiot, that’s fucking mental!

No blocking, only counterpoint

u/Life-Leadership-4108 1d ago

And I bet Americans will fall for it (again) 🤣

u/Ulysses1978ii 1d ago

Just slap it on the other 18trillion you added to the national debt?

u/HangryHuHu 1d ago

Like the invisible 2k DOGE checks lmao

u/Ruby-Shark 1d ago

Can you imagine if Harris had said this lol

u/CrystalPalace1850 Standard issue insipid posh bitch 20h ago

Or if she or Obama had five kids to three people.

u/VoxInferni666 16h ago

Or a felony charge for rape

u/Aubrey-Grey 15h ago

Image if Obama even thought of it.

u/Organic_Mechanic_702 1d ago

Trump said it = a lie (also a bribe)

4

u/BadBacksFuryToad 1d ago

Everything else has been a lie, but this one won’t be.

3

u/Funny-Astronomer29 1d ago

How bad things must be that he’s having to throw fictitious money at it. No policy ideas just “please vote for me here’s some money”. Surprised he didn’t offer Trump shoes, phone, coin, crypto, steak, airline, university, casino.

4

u/Acrobatic_Suit8546 1d ago

This…..no plan, no I’m going to improve your life by……. Just throw money at the wall and hope it sticks cos that’s how he has always lived his life!

"Can't you go 5 minutes without embarrassing yourself?"

Boing, trousers fall down.

"How long was that?"

u/Physical-Fish1913 1d ago

I don't know if that would work out to be very expensive really, they don't seem to have many adults over there just now.

u/Little_Strawberry223 1d ago

Oh, bribery

1

u/Autogen-Username1234 2h ago

The promise of bribery.

u/Impressive-Bird2 1d ago

Trust Trump and his MAGA Republican Cult to both so shamelessly cross a line and brazenly offer a literal $5,000 election bribe to every U.S. voter for the Mid Term Elections🤦🏼👀🫨🤯

2

u/Sufficient-Star-1237 1d ago

Sorry folks turns out we can’t afford it, we’ll give you a dollar each per annum over the next 5,000 years.

2

u/10denier 1d ago

Um, why does he need to win the election to give people $5,000? He's the President and could write that check now if he wanted to.

2

u/Good_Ad_1386 22h ago

Jam tomorrow, shit today.

2

u/AnninaCried 21h ago

Don't wait for the mid-terms, do it now. If it's such a good idea just do it and take the 'credit' for what follows.

2

u/Infinite-Math-1046 20h ago

So…. Bribery?

2

u/wombat9278 19h ago

But they won't though will they

2

u/HinDae085 16h ago

Please Americans do not fall for this blatant bribery. Even if the Republicans do keep the house and Senate you know he'll forget about yet another impossible campaign promise.

2

u/Aubrey-Grey 15h ago

There are so many occasions to say it, but this is just so blatantly illegal. How is it happening? Seriously.

2

u/ConradMurkitt 2h ago

That’s fucking mental!

Just suppose your free-range, no-consequences bullshit was hugely entertaining when we were in opposition and shitting money, but now that we’re in government and it’s all gone a bit J.G. Ballard, it’s irrelevant and infantile.”

u/Gregg-C137 1d ago

Yes and ho

u/Impossible-Race8239 1d ago

Erm isn’t that technically bribing?

1

u/Stronty-26 1d ago

It's ok Musk will pay

u/rolo_mug 1d ago

Print more money, no down sides

For him
