He's a pathetic lying POS, If everything is going so well [like never seen before] then why do you have to bribe people ???. But what is really sad, is the sad deluded people cheering him on and believing that they will get a check from him, after all this time, they still believe what he tells them !!...... Is it wasn't so serious it would be laughable !

Such a stupid promise… government money IS people money first and foremost. Even IF he were to give the money, end of the day, people will pay for it… Any money he gives out is money that’s not going towards other things the population might need. Does he really think people are stupid enough not to realize the government, on its own, doesn’t produce money, it only redirect it?

Surprised the BBC didn&#39;t reframe this in the editing booth that he will award a $5000 dollar reward for voters rampages in democratic states, PS BBC says they are not bias yet the comments section exposes the audience they are attracting is exactly because of their bias, cannot remember any of these kind of pieces written on Biden or Obama, wonder what the link is?
