Too crazy! Trump said, 'If the Republican Party wins both the House and the Senate—wins them both—given our tremendous economic strength and success, I will issue a $5,000 bonus to every adult citizen of the United States.' There are 260 million adult voters in the U.S., and $5,000 per person adds up to $1.3 trillion. Curious where the money will come from? Are they going to keep issuing debt? Can Treasury yields still be kept under control?
Wonder if Trump discussed this with Bessent in advance, and whether Bessent would faint after hearing Trump say this.
Also, does this count as outright vote-buying?
