Trump could hand me a check for a billion dollars and I’d still vote against him. I don’t understand why so many Americans are happy to be bribed. Don’t you have any pride?

My high school English teacher used to tell us that everyone had a price on certain issues. I still think about the lessons he was trying to teach us when we were young. They lack morals, ethics, strength, courage. They are proud of what they are.

For that, I would vote for Trump as per contract. And spend the money campaigning against him. I'd swallow my integrity for the greater good.

It's the economy, stupid! Cash is King. Ethics and moral fortitude get cast to the wayside when you're hungry and can't pay the bills. It's the reason why Trump is POTUS again. He promised Americans the Golden Goose, and they believed him. And sorry. I didn't mean to call you stupid, God.

God, you are asking all the wrong questions. Trump's Christian followers don't care about the bribe. They don't care that diesel is $6. They don't care that he steals their tax and Medicare dollars. Trump gives them permission to be racist, sexist, bigotry, rapists - that is all they want.

Pride means little when you desperate for most people. The Republicans in the USA has spent YEARS taking away from the working class and giving it to the privileged few, just like Conservatives in the UK. Throw people on their knees a crumb and they WILL crawl to get it. That is the cycle of abuse.

It is hard to have pride when you are struggling to make ends meet. So many Americans are hurting. That is the biggest crime of this government, its callous disregard for the pain it inflicts on its own citizens in order to enrich the 1%.

People are going broke. Christmas is coming, and no one wants to see disappointment on their child's face. And only Americans spell cheque, check. You're not American. Also, there's no money, honey.

But hey, the $90 will pay for 12 days of our monthly Medicare premiums! Or, I might use the money for a cheap pair of tennis shoes to walk and stay healthy!

Trumper’s give him their gas money for the week because Trump promised them their American dream; white, straight and God-fearing. AND because he appreciates their support, a little gas money for the car they no longer own.

It’s a fascinating glitch in the human OS: we call it "bribery" when it’s a check, but "incentives" when it’s a tax cut. Most people just prefer their corruption in a more scalable, systemic format.

White straight men keep whining, "Where's our 'Pride Month'? How come we don't get a 'Pride Month'?" Well, you keep supporting trump-- where the hell *is* your pride?

I would promise Trump I'd vote for him. Once the check cleared, I'd go to vote and write in his name on one of the local OK positions. Then I'd move to Melbourne Australia. Open up a comedy club with mocktails. Maybe some karaoke.

Americans only care about money. They don’t care about the the climate, people wildlife etc…they care about the price of gas and food…most don’t give a shit about their neighbour or the future left for the next generation.

We The People have given away our hand & wonder why the poker cheat has raked in all the cash. We're perpetual victims to a bully & can't seem to rise to defend ourselves. How many of us & how many of him? Buying us off is how some people cope. There may not be dignity, but there is HBO. Go figure.

I think very few of them are happy to be bribed. I think at least 80% of them understand that this is just another empty lie from a career criminal and con man.

My 🏳️‍⚧️ family, we r raising our autistic son, and right now we’re trying to raise $668.56 for car tags and taxes. Our car is something our family depends on every day. No car=homeless for my family $amybeth10 VENMO/PAYPAL LINKS in BIO Can 296 ppl donate $1 or $2 $296 left Help a Trans Family Out

Feels a lot like the failed ‘baby credit’ amount that came WAY short of covering the actual costs of having a baby. I gotta believe those farmers about to lose everything owe their banks a LOT more than $5K.

The sin of greed was what this country was founded on, what do you expect?! Also, greed might as well be the ultimate sin cause every culture and religion on Earth has it and agrees it is one of the worst, and in some ways, spawns or collects the rest.

Most maga don’t understand irony. The maga in my family think I’m making fun of them when I make an ironic statement. I told my cousin he needed to buy a dictionary and look up the definition of irony. His response was FU 🤷‍♂️🤪🤣🤣🤣

Of course they have pride! Why else would they go to the trouble of having it tattooed across their knuckles? I guess they also have a lot of white stuff as well, judging by their other knuckles.

it dosent matter how much theyre given or promised or even if they ever get it, what matters to them is the message, & the message is: 'DJT/ MAGA want to give me things, the Dems/ Left wants to take from me, & give to someone else'

I think most Americans believe that most politicians are essentially the same - they are focused on their personal wealth and reelection. Nothing else. So why wouldn’t a bribe work- finally, something in it for the average American. Do you think your government is working for you? I don’t

“The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them" (Unsure of the origin). Time to vote blue 💙

Cash the check first, of course. *Then* vote as you think best. That way, less money in Trumps hands.

And add to that that they accused Dems to buy votes by offering socialism to the poor and colored… but they plain bribe people and it is ok… what are we doing people??????

No! Much of America has no REAL pride.Not for real things like love.The have pride in themselves.They have pride in what they do and want only.Which is why I say many Americans will STILL be stupid and vote Repugnantcan this November. Isnt NOW a great time to take the power back??

What's most sad is that if the economy was good, most wouldn't give a damn. Because we've become so selfish and entitled. If it doesn't affect us personally, we find it easy to look the other way. That has to change. We won't survive divided like this. Not sustainable!

It’s especially ludicrous to accept any amount of money in exchange for a vote since I sure wouldn’t put it past Donald to then make US greenbacks illegal and holding of no value, declaring that only TrumpBucks are legal tender.

The thing is that he has promised monetary rewards several times and lied about it but this time people believe him. Another example of how stupid Americans are

Trump is a master con man. There are evidently some people who actually believe the lies that come from his mouth 😒!

Too many voters r suckers. They never learn. That take the idiot bait over & over Don't believe fat man's bull shit lies. There isn't going to be any checks , as before. Learn from your mistakes of the past DO NOT be a sucker again Learn. Eyes wide open

It's not even a bribe, it's a hollow promise. I can easily promise you half of the moon or whatever you like in the universe, if I'm never planning or able to give it to you.

A cult is a cult. Soulless will always be souless. The constitution, the laws, the 10 commandments… merely a suggestion.

No. The US suffered a "crisis of confidence" in the 1970s and gave up on all its values; it's a nation of cows waiting to be milked. "All the legislation in the world can't fix what's wrong with America." ~President Jimmy Carter, Jul 15 1979

Hello from Germany. He is talking about 5000 Dollar, if you have a health issue in the USA, the money is gone in a minute. He is taking, whatever he wants and he is bribing the people with 5000 Dollar, who are nothing with gas and food are getting more and more expensive...

I remember posting this. My shock at how much just the ambulance will cost you. You aren't even in the hospital yet. bsky.app/profile/matt...

For those in the UK, this stuff is unbelievable, You actually have to pay for an ambulance in America? For those in the US, is America Great Again? www.tiktok.com/@thesephew/v...

The thing is… he won’t be handing anyone anything. For one he doesn’t have the Constitutional right to do this. Secondly he is just a criminal conman felon who has been lying and scamming people for decades. He has zero intentions of doing this and he knows it. Why would anyone believe him?

They let this happen to them. From Canada, our answer to your rhetorical interlocution, is "no, the US people are children whining, and without pride, spine, or courage. As a group, they are unwilling to lift a finger to defend their democracy, and are too ignorant, lazy, and selfish to care.

If he gave me a billion dollars, I’d 1) consult a tax advisor on how to maximize charitable donations; 2) pay the taxes; and 3) donate the remainder to charities that Trump hates.

#Felon47 posted this straight-up bribery video on #Twitter. He's scared. Get out and vote blue up & down the ballot! "If #Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 #Midterm Elections, I'm going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000!"
