He's a pathetic lying POS, If everything is going so well [like never seen before] then why do you have to bribe people ???. But what is really sad, is the sad deluded people cheering him on and believing that they will get a check from him, after all this time, they still believe what he tells them !!...... Is it wasn't so serious it would be laughable !

Such a stupid promise… government money IS people money first and foremost. Even IF he were to give the money, end of the day, people will pay for it… Any money he gives out is money that’s not going towards other things the population might need. Does he really think people are stupid enough not to realize the government, on its own, doesn’t produce money, it only redirect it?
