$5000 per adult if the Republicans win the House and Senate in November

This is totally normal right? A president saying that he will pay $5000 to all adults if the Republicans keep the House and the Senate. The House is very much in play this cycle. The Senate--not so much. But still the idea of him paying people to make sure that the GOP wins is crazy. It is a bribe. It also is an empty promise. People would get that just as soon as Trump finally unveils his superior health plan that is always coming "in two weeks". Aren't Republicans supposed to be all about reducing the debt? Not sure why they would support this plan. I guess the good news is that it will never happen but it is still crossing an ethical line.

A blatantly open bribe. He has cheapened the office of the President beyond belief. If his followers claim this is a smart move for him to get what he wants, they are as crazy as he is. Oh, and did you hear him say ''Just pretend I'm on the ballot!''

I saw that on our news. He seems to break all rules and conventions without anyone holding him to account. Over here it’s the opposite. We have a government in power with a new leader who is going to put taxes up even further, including a tourist tax, and people are still willing to vote for them. Hopefully the good people of America have seen through his blatant bribe and will do the right thing come the elections. For the good of America, and the rest of the world.

I can't remember who right this minute but somebody in one of those has made a YT video explaining that it's actually illegal for trump to bribe people to vote either way. I hope everybody sees that! I'm still wondering why he isn't in jail yet?

Trump is doing everything it takes to keep the republicans in power. If he was doing the right thing, he wouldn't need to go this far to buy votes
