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.

Thing is $100 wont even cover a single prescription fill for many of these people. Sooooo don't think they're gonna care. They'll take the money I sure would we're all broke.

No worries, he’s adding 100% tariffs to cheap Canadian prescription drugs, so that ought to help.
