This reeks of desperation, that means he's scared. Don't let up, get out and VOTE!

Hasn't he already promised us money that no one except corporations have gotten?
remember that 5k from the doge savings that he promised? Is that the same 5k?
Disclaimer: $5000 in TRUMP cryptocoins, which will be worthless 2min after you have received it.
Reminder that 80% of people don't read past the headline - most people will believe the lie even if they only see it here. News outlets know this, so the headline should be "Trump breaks the law and commits election fraud with false claims about payments to voters" or whatever.
I promise everyone eleventy bajillion dollars if they don't vote for him and his moron squad.
Someone could argue you can't deliver those billions. That person might not be on Lemmy, but let me say this: if you vote for Trump and do get 5000$ from him, his batshit crazy politics will certainly cost you more than that. At the same time, if he loses and the US goes back to 'normal', you might not get elevently bajillion from this guy but you will get a more capable leader that takes economy advice more serious which at the end of the line will mean more money for everyone who is not a billionaire. It really is an easy choice. Don't vote for Trump, you're already finding out why you shouldn't. Don't do it please.
It will come from the same fund where the tariff refund came from. In other words, the one in his addled brain. Problem is he ends up stealing from that one too.
Alternative title for this article should be: Compulsive liar lies again, and the media still, inexplicable, pretends he sometimes tells the truth.
In a functioning democracy such an election promise is a crime, but so are Super PACS and gerry-mandering and data scraping from voters via scam sites or abusing of entirely different public databases. Also, in a functioning democracy such crimes get prosecuted.
~270,000,000 adult Americans X $5,000
$1,350,000,000,000.
Right.

Lock him up.
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
Could this be per offense? I wonder if that would set a new Guinness record for longest sentence.
228 million years seems plenty fair.
It reminds me of Batman the first Tim Burton one in 1989, in which the Joker promises to give away a ton of money in the town square (so he can kill them all with poison gas).
I'm also reminded of the anti-union signs that suggest getting a game console instead of paying union dues.
How on earth are they allowed to put this promise on the literal white house website? This country is a joke and danger to both itself and the rest of the world.
Will Mexico pay for it, too?
... by the way, how are you doing on releasing those tax returns? Any progress?
Also, I'm still eagerly awaiting your massive health care bill that you said you'd release.... 10 years ago.
He is a professional troll, bully and a lifelong con man.
He did not say where the money would come from.
That's because it's a lie, just like the other times he lied.
Literally just saw some dumbass online suggesting we pay for it by just adding it to the national debt.
The mere announcement was enough to tank the price of US treasuries: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-09-10/trump-payout-pledge-adds-to-bond-market-jitters-as-auction-looms
Seems other countries aren’t to keen to help finance Trump’s tension fart of an idea…
Thank God. I already spent my DOGE and tariff checks.
/s
If I am elected president, I will give every American 50,000.
Still waiting on those tarriff refunds! And lower egg costs. And lower gas costs. But I'm sure it's being worked on and likely held up by those dirty dems!
And today, kids, we will learn how inflation works...
Guy can’t even get us lower gas or grocery prices and morons are gonna believe him
Lucy tells Charlie once again that there is no way she will pull the football away at the last second and that he should kick the ball with all his might...
Even if they win he still won’t pay.
Reminds me of the time when Joe Biden promised $2000 COVID relief checks, and then when Dems won Georgia, those checks magically became $1400 instead.
Don't trust a politician (and especially Donald) when they promise shit like this. This is the third time he's gone to this well. (Remember the imaginary DOGE dividend and the tariff rebate checks?)
Gods, he thinks people are dumb. I mean, people keep falling for it but come the fuck on, man!
I hate to agree with trump but, Americans are dumb... they have elected him TWICE into office!
He did not say where the money would come from.
Same place the tariff rebates came from: nowhere.
