President Donald Trump has faced accusations of bribery and vote-buying online after proposing $5,000 dividend checks for American adults contingent on a Republican win in the midterms. He made the comments during a speech at the RNC convention in Dallas, Texas.
“Today Trump tried to buy the midterms by offering all voters a $5,000 bribe in exchange for their votes, provided they spend the cash in the U.S. Yet another criticized the president, stating “That’s $2 trillion of taxpayers’ money in freebies – the Venezuela model. “Trump’s $5,000 dividend would cost $1.3 trillion.
People are saying Trump is trying to bribe voters,” Bret Baier said. Since the Fed will have to print the money, the result would be massive inflation, well in excess of anything experienced under Biden,” American stockbroker Peter Schiff noted. In a real democracy, this is vote-buying, and he would be banned from contesting. Fox News also questioned Vice President JD Vance over Trump’s promise. The video of his remarks has since gone viral online.
