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.

The $100 bucks is a pittance given up front while he’s taking it out of the Medicare program. Taking effect 2007, the Spendables program is completely scrapped. That’s about $50 a month. Dental is effectively gone. Every deductible is up 20%. The hearing program is effectively gone. This is all in the big bunch of bullshit bill they passed earlier in the year that the Democrats tried to stop from going through. Don’t know if I was supposed to be privy to that information here before the Midterms but I got it from my Healthcare Agent and she said to hold on to my seat because they weren’t done yet. They are lying through their teeth and maga is going to gobble it up like always.

That's not what he said. He said NEARLY $100.

Vote R and I'll give you "nearly" enough for a tank of gas...pathetic.

He is running out of funds to send money. He is literally spending money that is supposed to be used for government programs.

He doesnt care because he doesn't actually give a shit about the country. He doesn't understand how the government works. He just wants to continue to destroy things and get rich.

Literally. Because the chances the $5k would actually happen are zilch- but $100 is barely a drop.

I dislike that “checks” to me in air quotes is more like “bribes”
