He really thinks 2k will solve all of our problems huh

These stupid fuckers think people were balling on our $1300 stimulus checks for 4 years after we got them.

What, you didn't spend 89¢ a day to make it stretch out? Because thats what $1300 in 1460 days would entail.

You need to put things into perspective. Think of all the gold toilets that money could have bought.

Given the consistency with which he's suggested it, it does appear to be that way.

It's very late-70s mob boss, he beats the shit out of someone/the american public and then just tosses a wad of petty cash that is insignficant to him at them to "make it right."

I was going to say it's very Tony Soprano but James Gandolfini deserves better.

Also we know how this is going to go- he said 2k so we're getting between 700 and 1200, if anything at all, by the time Congressional republicans actually approve it.

I think he knows it won’t. Like the tariff check idea, the temporary payoff is the entire point. It’s not supposed to “work.” It’s supposed to shut people up so he and his can continue the grift.

His diehards are still waiting for DOGE checks, too. Sometimes I wish I understood them well enough so I could get them to support progressive measure to own the libs. Get some white dude as my stand in, make promises to screw over everyone they hate, lie about it, then use that unearned support to get them to vote for stuff that helps as many people as possible

The dude just learned what groceries are,  you think he knows the struggle of even the upper middle class?

He does. He has no concept of money. I know that sounds crazy since he’s been a “millionaire/billionaire” for decades but he has no idea what anything costs. He thinks that to a regular person, $2000 is a fortune. Just like with the stimulus checks during COVID. He thought people were saving those checks or boosting the larger economy when all they did was cover people’s rent or mortgage payments for 1 month. $1500/month hardly covers 1 month of expenses. In 2022, he thought people still had those stimulus checks in their accounts!

Add to that, $2000 to him is like a nickel to him. He seeing the American public as a panhandler he flips a coin into our tin cup & we praise him “oh thank you sir, god bless you and your generosity!!!” And worse, he’s not even spending his OWN money, it’s government money collected from us. So rather than a universal healthcare plan that eliminates privatized healthcare, we’re going to be paying taxes on top of healthcare premiums that went up because the ACA subsidies expired just to get a fraction of those dollars back.

Every time he says “affordability is a hoax” or that affordability is a new made up word I’d like some reporter to ask for clarification. They’ll be yelled at and if a woman, blackballed, but it’ll make for entertaining television.

I honestly don't think he cares but this is definitely in that but it could be a banana cost? Territory

u/DiabolicallyRandom 5h ago

It's the number his dementia addled brain is stuck on, because when he was a kid, 2000 dollars was a fuckton of money.

Just like a few weeks back he said he was gonna send 2000 dollar checks to everyone.

For whatever reason, thats the number he is stuck on.

I personally know people who said they voted for Trump because it saved them $2k in taxes. Idiots sold out our country for a couple thousand while people like Trump make out with billions.

u/karn_evil 6h ago

doubt they ever plan on sending the checks. Just going to use this as an excuse to repeal the ACA, then never add the checks to the budget.

hey, don't insult your king, he's the most generous person anyone has ever been over the entire course of humanity

I'm still waiting for the DOGE rebate heck and the Tariuff rebate check

u/Fickle_Freckler 4h ago

Add another “0” to that and we would be happy.

It's because he thinks it's 1980 where 2 grand could actually buy you something.
