Maybe instead of borrowing moneh to give everyone 5000 dollars how about cutting government spending by 5000 dollars per taxpayer and using the money to pay off the debt.

BUT, if he and his family are ever held accountable, I want every fucking god damned cent they made in office taken and distributed back to the people and the programs that help them. I expect nothing less.

I’m impressed that Trump didn’t say he’d give the dividend to everyone who votes Republican. We know he wouldn’t give it to anyone who votes Democrat.
