I think it's called buying votes. Clearly illegal.

If he’s doing so well as he claims then why would he need to resort to bribery and yet more corruption. Yeah, silly question. I know the answer. 🥴

Probably????

Isn't this very illegal? Like bigly? He won't shit a dime out of his flaccid ass, but I'm sure the check is in the mail

Now that’s a suckers bet 🎃👹

And here children is why the fucking democrats under the Biden administration should have sent his ass packing for the Jan. 6 insurrection. This sad attempt at blatant corruption is literally one of the plot lines of “It Can’t Happen Here” among many others that have already come to pass.

I need 10k for my vote. 🤣🇺🇲

Scratch "incentivize", replace with "buy". Illegal, typical of this regime.

Edit note: you should remove the "probably".

Probably???

No shit

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fiscal responsibility was a lie.

That has to be illegal.

They can’t be all that dumb. The question is why they believe him! It’s always easier to just believe than it is to use your brain to question and analyze! If a stranger wants to give you something you accept it rather than question it. Only when demands are wanted does one start questioning! Crazy❗️

👀 mas a questão não está em se ele vai pagar ou não e sim na ILEGALIDADE da proposta, certo? Porque não estão falando disso abertamente..?

Not probably. He won’t. He already a similar promise 3x And it is a bribe. He controls Congress now.

I agree that should win the midterms just not for the GOP

Just because he is liar who has not followed through on previous bribe attempts doesn’t mean his latest attempted bribe is not, well, a bribe

It’s entirely clear! I can’t believe how even media with a good record of being objective (like Wired) still can’t just say that Trump is a habitual liar

how about attempted bribery

It is NOT unclear. The guy is a fucking liar who lies about everything and this was just another obvious lie to try to buy votes. Come on.

IT IS VERY CLEAR THIS IS A LIE. $1.2 TRILLION TO DO THAT. NOT HAPPENING. IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL. AND WHY WAIT TILL AFTER?

Is it really unclear?

Trump has previously promised payouts like a $5,000 “DOGE dividend” or a $2,000-per-person tariff check—neither of which has happened. Read the full story: www.wired.com/story/trump-...

He's offering a bribe to get the result he desperately wants, and if he gets what he wants he no longer needs to follow through. It's not a serious proposal. It's a desperate and cynical ploy.

Law enforcement needing to step up as that statement is a crime.

Federal law strictly prohibits attempts to influence a person's vote through money or anything of value. Federal Law 18 U.S.C. § 597: it is a crime to offer, give, solicit, or accept compensation in exchange for voting, withholding a vote, or voting for or against a particular candidate.

At this point he owes everyone ~$15,000 between the doge checks, tariff refunds & now this bribery scheme...

Really? How about making the headline that it’s illegal to bribe voters. JFC.

What’s with this soft language, @wired.com? I’ve come to expect more from you. “Seemingly” “Probably” What’s happening over there?

An illegal bribe that disqualifies a candidate and party.

Seemingly? No need for a caveat when they spell it out. Tell your lawyers not to tell your writers not to journalism wrong.

That's the money, that he had previously stolen from the citizens!

You give me every billionaire's entire fortune and I still wouldn't vote for a sick, malicious, pedophile.

That would buy what? A couple of weeks of groceries? The new world he just learned. 😂

Here’s the deal. He gets votes from the ones who believe him. He knows Dems will take the house. Then he says I tried to pay you but democrats wouldn’t let me.If repubs win, what any citizen thinks is irrelevant for all time.

Trump is desperate. He's bribing voters. You can cash this in along with your $2,000 DOGE cheque.

You could mention that it's incredibly illegal, of course, unethical, to try to bribe people for votes. He was extremely blatant about it.

Mexico will pay for it.

I'm still waiting for my DOGE check.

"Seemingly"?

Are the words "bribe" or "illegal" anywhere in your story?

At 276.8 million adults in America, that's $1.384 trillion. The biggest bribe offer ever. But that'll come out of our pockets eventually through taxes or inflation.
