Not to mention how they’ re throwing the nation into recession at the same time they’ re driving up the cost of everything, a pain that’ s going to get really visible as we hit the holiday gift-buying season.
And forget about the fact that your health insurance premiums are exploding in your face, as he also ranted:
“ I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over.” In other words, let’ s also get rid of the protections of the ACA— for example, the requirement that they must cover payment for chronic or preexisting conditions— and force every American to buy insurance( if they can afford it) from those same insurance companies he’ s pretending to rage against. It’ ll be a huge boon for the companies and their morbidly rich executives.
In exchange for screwing Americans on tariff-caused inflation and healthcare, he wants to send us a check just like he did with the Covid stimulus checks back in 2020, thinking putting his signature on them would help him win the upcoming election.
His promise of a“ dividend” to every citizen isn’ t economic policy, it’ s a proposed payoff. After five corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court legalized the practice of billionaires buying politicians and judges, Trump’ s now cutting out the middlemen and proposing to buy the voters himself.
The tariffs( and his assaults on democracy) were hurting him with the voters enough to affect the election this month, driving a Democratic sweep across the nation. And now he’ s also freaked out because his Big Beautiful Billionaire’ s Bill gutted the ACA subsidies that made health insurance affordable for at least 24 million Americans and Democrats dared( until last night) stand up against it.
Trump voters are experiencing buyer’ s remorse and Americans more generally are furious that he and his billionaire buddies are screwing us while they live the Great Gatsby life.
Thus, he’ s now waving cash in our faces, believing we’ re stupid enough to trade our democracy, economy, and healthcare for a quick hit of cash.
But this isn’ t generosity; it’ s corruption in broad daylight, a desperate, cynical attempt to turn the American vote into a cash transaction.
The only question left is: how many Americans will take the bait?
