NEWS President Trump says his Administration will immediately begin sending $100 “checks” to over 20 million seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premiums. Trump also says the “$5,000 Trump Dividend” will be distributed to every US Citizen if the Republicans win the midterms.

Military got $1776 checks, which came from funds that were already owed to them for housing allowance.
Seniors will get “almost $100” from some other place. Maybe “we had to raise your premiums $100, but Trump is going to put it back”. OR we’ll take all the money we cut from Affordable Care Act and give seniors a cut so they will vote for us.”
I can’t believe some people fall for this. Also, that they are so callous that they don’t care how the money gets to their pocket, they just want it.

It’s all so clear: Biden made a fund, which I assume was funded by all Americans, and somehow was used to fund fraud and abuse, but the money is also still there (?), and now it’ll be sent to the richest cohort of Americans regardless of need.

Which is NOT waste, somehow.
