Can we talk for a moment about how Donald Trump is flat-out trying to bribe his way back to re-election? He is making no attempt whatsoever to hide his criminality.
It really all started months ago when he decided to have his name placed on the physical stimulus checks that were sent out to Americans. But, don’t worry. If you were able to get direct deposit of your stimulus money, Donny was kind enough to spend good money to send you a letter, that he signed, to let you know that the Dept. of the Treasury sent you stimulus money.
Now, why would he want his name on the check? Why would be spend government money to send you a letter with his signature? Trump wants you to believe you received that money only because he was President. It was not because Congress passed a (let’s make rich people richer) stimulus package. No. It was because Trump was President. NOT!
He then decided to send $13 billlion to Puerto Rico for hurricane relief. Mind you, this is finally for 2017 hurricane relief. Up until now, he has held almost $100 billion in funds because he has been very vocal about how corrupt he thinks the PR government is.
Up until this year, PR has only received $3.3 billion dollars for hurricane relief. Oh, and they did get paper towels. Trump threw them himself at a press conference. Trump even discussed selling PR, or maybe trading it for Greenland.
In May, the Trump administration decided that a second round of stimulus money was needed for farmers. Of course, the reason they need the money is because of Trump’s easy-to-win (not so easy, as it turns out) trade war with China… or is that Jhina? He destroyed agricultural exports in this country and then took credit for getting 10% of the original exports back.
His latest bribe? Trump is now sending $200 gift cards to 33 million seniors to help with prescription costs. He has promised these cards will be delivered prior to the election. But, he swears it is not a bribe.
He swears none of it is a bribe. He is desperate. He knows he has no chance of winning a non-rigged election. This is just another avenue he is using to try and steal American democracy.
