Ethical questions? Is it even legal?

Ah yes the same false promise used for all his cronies "I'll give you money if you do this unethical thing". Our debt is skyrocketing under this moron and if a Democrat offered the same it would be vilified as the illegal act it is. Vote all these anti-intellectual, selfish, inhuman degenerates out!

And they won't win it... Currently only a 30% chance they keep both chambers. But even if they do, this would precipit their downfall, this would lead to terrible inflation ($1T in free money isn't exactly a good idea)

It doesn't raise any 'questions'. Its illegal, no question.

It's not an "eye-catching proposal", it's an outright lie.

Been there, done that bsky.app/profile/stev...

Just as that money Musk promised Wisconsin voters was found to be a crime, even though he put on a cheese hat and waved around a big check.

Another member of the "normalization brigade" who refuses to call out his lies. You are so disappointing, @Wired

"raised immediate ethical questions"... RAISED?!?! WTF is wrong with you! Braisingly illegal is the correct wording!!!

LOL the 2026 "debt doesn't matter" GOP. Here's an IOU for your freedoms, plebs.

Democrats should offer 6. I’m being serious.

Is this not what 'socialists' do... promise free stuff? If it is possible to do it then Trump ought to make the payments ahead of the election. That would be real proof that he makes good on promises. That would prove the economy is so strong that the cash is available now. Why 'if Republicans win'?

Offering a bribe he will never pay.

No ethical questions- it’s illegal 😢

He's a liar. No one is getting paid.

Can we just put this next to all the other things he has lied about giving the American public?

Good grief.

He always promises these payouts and never delivers.

So where's he going to pull the $1.2 trillion from ? No, don't answer that.......

See, here’s the problem. You know he’s flat out lying, yet you do the math.

Make it $5 million and you have my attention. Don't insult me with just $5K. You may be trump but I'm no chump.

Just after infrastructure week

He did.

Dude is bribing us with our own money. Now, if he were to pay it from his own money……. See, the problem is he is stealing our money. We paid the tariffs. He gave the illegally collected tariffs to corporations. Wake up America!

Will this be payed at the same time as the DOGE payout? Or with the other cheque he promised as a “tariff refund”?

You just know that IF it happens, it would only go to Republicans. Or only red states. Or coincidentally only people with non-Hispanic sounding names. 

1.2 trillion and every deficit hawk fainted… even though this largesse will almost certainly be as ephemeral as the tariff refund checks.

Wow. You sure went from decent to shit. Conde Nast sure cracked the whip.

So that's 5000 for doge, 2000 in tariff revenue, 1700 tax refunds, and now another 5000. Nonce owes us $13,700 in bribes so far and he was so ready to give millions to insurrectionists.

November 4th, 2026 “I never said there would be $5000 checks…thank you for your attention on this matter.” -President Donald J Trump

He’s never paid a bill or followed thru on a promise when it involves paying money in his life. This is another lie, bribe, and bluster from the world’s biggest loser.
