Are that many people gullible enough to believe Trump's promise of $5,000 only if the GOP wins the midterms; why not do it NOW?

If Republicans control the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate, why can't it be done right now? Why are we being held hostage until after the election?

Do not give a FUCK!!!

I voted for Trump to deport 3rd world aliens and to close the border.

Anyone with any common sense knows the USA will be 100% better in 100 years if we do not bring in MILLIONS of Somalians, Muslims, Hatians and 3rd world immigrants. That is societal suicide.

Fuck the rest of this smoke and mirrors crap trying to get eyes off the big picture. The long term affects.

You wear your Islamophobia and racism very well! It must really make you so upset that the United States of America is a multi-ethnic, multi-racial, and multi-religious society! I guess you must be one of those people who believe that Europeans and people of European descent have done nothing to harm society or the world! Clearly, you are lacking in the understanding of world history! You also have done a terrible job of avoiding my original question! But, your comments show what's exactly wrong with the MAGA movement in this country!

[Miristheiss]

Yep.
USA doesn't need anymore muslims. You DID NOT say bringing in millions and millions of them won't fuck the USA over. You cannot... you know it is true.

The 1965 Immigration Reform fucked this country.

"Diversity is our strength" Your platitude is other bullshit. Unity is strength... not division. Not sharia, mosques, hijabs and extremists.

Long term... you need a common culture.

Seik Heil! Seik Heil! Seik Heil! Do you feel better now?

[Miristheiss]

You seem more like a woman than man.

[Asker]

Typical MAGAT response... You're insecure about your sexuality... You're another low IQ Nazi homo just like Ernst Rohm. I have a feeling that your ignorant, knuckle dragging ass doesn't even know who that is. You can ask AI to look it up since you never studied history... or finished elementary school...

These are people who find it too painful to admit to themselves that they made a mistake in voting for and/or supporting him to begin with. Technically, this is called cognitive dissonance, and the pain of cognitive dissonance can be very severe for some people. They will do almost anything to avoid it, including believing something as ridiculous as this.

[Anonymous]

That sounds like socialism to me! 🤔

[Opinion Owner]

But yeah, if even one voter believes it, it was worth promising. There are no consequences to him not following through. What will anyone do? Refuse to vote for him again when he can't run anyway?

[loveslongnails]

Sure there are THAT many gullible, dumb people. 77 million of them (we think) voted for his garbage in the last election after a 4 year preview of his nonsense in 2016. LOL And they did it again! LOL

[Anonymous]

MAGA would. MAGA likes government handouts for themselves, just not for anyone else.

This must be voted for by congress. If democrsts take either one of the two houses they will never vote for it.

[Asker]

So, why would Trump lie and make promises that he can't keep? Also, now that the Republicans control the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate, why can't they do it now? You can smell the bullshit here for miles!

[exitseven]

Hecsais if Republicans keep control of congress he will push this. Through

[Asker]

Again, I will repeat the question. If the Republicans control the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate, why can't this be done now? There is no reason to wait until after the election. This is how you know it's a scam to try to manipulate the vote. Any idiot can see through this ploy!

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

Of course. Think of how many believed student loan forgiveness was gonna happen.

[Asker]

Reality check. Mine are also included in that number:

Or no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime, yadda yadda. Trump's promises are baloney.

[shish_kebab]

@NoDecision
These laws have been enacted.

[Asker]

It did happen... Check link below...

[NoDecision]

No one I know had their loans forgiven.

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

@NoDecision

Well, according to the link, not only are your friends paying their own loans, but also for surgeons who can actually afford to pay their own off.

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

And with any luck, they'll pay off my sister's who makes $16/hr working at Goodwill. Such a blessing she got that communication degree.
