He has tried this with Iran and with Russia.

Is political bribery not against the law in America?

Problems with promises and reality? You still can’t believe what your eyes see???

Punch would be so proud of your stenography

Le pire président des USA...

The NYTs NYTed all over this NYT headline. How about: "Trump offers $5000 bribe to American people in exchange for votes in midterm election."

Bankrupt Business Genius In Doesn't Understand ilInflation Shock

It's time for Trump to step up to the plate as a LEGAL citizen instead of the charade of being a President. Corrupt. Vindictive. Liar. Con Man. Adultery. Cheater. Grifter. Where's the money coming from? His slush fund or the insider trading?

"Certain to raise legal questions." Yes, in the way illegal things frequently do.

Why are you even portraying this like it’s legitimate?

Does that include Somali, Haitian, Mexican, African, Afghan and especially Iranian Americans? 😆

Don’t worry — he’ll tell Jared to ask the Saudis for the money.

Use the correct word it’s a bribe

He certainly does “floats” checks… in the meaning of a banking context. That is illegal.

Uh huh 🙄

I believe it. It's gas money.

Anyone who votes Republican for this reason deserves whatever follows.

Just say he's lying about the checks like he always does. We've been through this song and dance before.

Quit humoring his bullshit with trying to find a way for it to work or be legal. Just call his shit out and move on. FFS grow a pair.

Buying votes? Can we lock him up on something yet? Hell, even wire fraud. Where’s Mitch McDeere?

Did any of your journalists (or ANY journalists) ask him why and how the price of oil will go down after the election? Or did you all just stand there like gimps and nod? Will any of you ask about this bribe and point out it's illegal? No? WHAT IS THE POINT OF YOU???

I am still waiting for my $2,000 check from Trump's tariffs, more bullshit $5,000.

It is infuriating.

You suck at your job NYT

Wouldn’t it be easier and more accurate to just say he lied?

Unf-cking-believable ... Like everything else he does!

Desperate.

Also it’s worth noting that he has said the United States has control of the strait of Hormuz at least 50 times. It’s fine to say he lies as he breathes

President Trump behaves like an uncle who promises the children a pony, knowing full well that Congress controls the stable and has already eaten the hay ... ...

I think what you meant to say was: It's a lie, and it's illegal.

The genius can't count

You're platforming his lies as he attempts to buy votes.

It wasn't long ago that Donald hit that round number: $40 trillion in national debt. The debt continues to soar. Now Donald proposes adding yet another $1 trillion to it? Party of fiscal responsibility 😂. Absolute clowns.

Kudos for the use of the word "certain" ...I guess. But surely the NYT should have enough info to not hide behind "likely" for simple multiplication?

Yeah and Mexico is paying for the wall

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

You think?

why does @nytimes.com suck so hard bsky.app/profile/them...

That would require actual journalism.

Trump hates kids! Or why won’t they get the $5,000 checks? I mean if you are gonna fake pledge, make it even bigger!

If you believe that, then you must have loved your DOGE check too. ...dont fall for his lies.

How about being actual journalists instead of stenographers

I thought buying votes was illegal in your country. But, as always, only a few people seem to care. The rest couldn’t care less whether it’s true or not. Even your own newspapers don’t have the guts to call it what it is.

🤮🤮🤮

Jesus on a poodle, NYT. He's spewing BS. Where the fuck is the DOGE dividend and the tariffs pay-back? How many times will you take it up the ass from Trump and not call him out in no uncertain terms as a corrupt pandering scumweasel?

I would much rather have affordable healthcare than be bought off with a lousy $5,000 check. And here is the obscene arithmetic of US inequality: a one-off 10% tax on the wealth of the richest 1% could finance a $20,000 check for every American adult.

They're cowards

So buying votes.

Here I’ll help you out on how this would be carried out… it won’t because he is a pathetic liar criminal conman felon pedophile rapist who will say anything to remain in power and not face any consequences for his crimes and corruption. Nothing he says actual happens or is ever the truth.

Chief mathematician surely knows better than the NYT.

Ce plan paraît irréaliste vu son coût d’un trillion de dollars et les nombreuses questions juridiques qu’il soulèverait.

Actually, that's illegal. Meanwhile, where are those dOGE checks?

Just say it. He’s lying. He’s crazy. He’s desperate. He thinks we’re fools and you’re proving him right.

Please Go Fuck Yourself. The passive know-nothing tense (“who can say?!”) “It WAS not clear”? (Emphasis added) I don’t think a real human is involved in y’all’s posts. I hope not. It wasn’t isn’t and never will be clear bc it’s fucking horseshit. Jesus H tap dancing Christ on a popsicle stick

It's illegal, you feckless bitches. Call it illegal.

He’s promised checks to American’s on at least two other occasions. We’ve seen nothing. We know he’s lying again.

“Most people don’t realize bribery has a y at the end of it…”

Oy.

Maybe the ny times will one day figure out that trump lies constantly. He’s also loopy.

Huss votes

Whatever senile Grandpa wants we will do our best to make seem normal and to actually happen, vows New York Times.

I was told that socialists would take control of the treasury and then vote themselves all the money.

You see ,We have some very corrupt leaders in my country and this is how they do when elections are about to start by offering constituents money to vote for them…Never thought this would ever happen in the US

heh @nytimes.com did he send out those Doge checks? what about the tariff refunds? seems like maybe there’s a pattern? maybe, include that pattern in the lede…

And a barrel of petrol from Iran

It is recorded that #EricTrump said: “We have all the funding we need out of Russia.” Trump shows EXTREME DEFERENCE towards Vladimir Putin while #Ukraine talks stall & #Russia DEMANDS Ukrainian Land. America should be asking: IS OUR PRESIDENT A RUSSIAN ASSET? #DonaldTrump #Democracy #JaredKushner

It doesn't "raise legal questions", it's illegal. Trump can't just cut checks out of the treasury. Stop sanewashing the insanity.

Legal questions? Like how many fucking laws if this insane asshole going to be allowed to break???

They way his is doing it is bullshit and close to a bribe, but Technically, no different than a party saying vote for me and you get this tax cut.

‘Legal questions’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣America is soooooo fúcked if you can’t figure this one out

What the hell is wrong with y’all enablers of tRump’s fascism? This is called a bribe. Y’all cannot be honest about tRump. He has intimidated y’all into being partners in crime.

If he can’t do it, you don’t have to report on it

It is only certain to raise legal questions at NYT. In the real world, though, it shouldn’t matter if someone is a president: if he’s also a huckster, that’s what you ought to call him.

RAISE legal questions? It's illegal as hell!

More bs spew from the orange idiot’s mouth. Nothing new.

But will the courts do anything, if it goes to the Supreme Court nothing will happen

Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies And now this, fool me 4 times for his cult I guess?

Because he's lying. It's what he always does.

Would it be too much trouble for the New York Times to simply say that Trump does not have any authority to hand out money from the federal Treasury without congressional appropriations?

Well, like everything else he does he can just ignore it and pretend he never said.

Most likely, it'll be paid in Trump crypto or NFT digital trading cards In other words: worthless 🙃

Vote buying is illegal

And the Stupid bastards believe him !

Let me borrow $5k for you, which you will have to repay eventually. Now thank me for it 🤔

"It is also certain to raise legal questions" Why? BECAUSE IT FUCKING IS!!! Jesus Fucking Christ, this is why Donald J Fucking Trump exists! Because you spineless stenographers, calling yourselves "Journalists", DO NOT DO YOUR JOB! YOU, YOURSELVES, have made yourselves "fake news"! Think on that!

He did not float sh*t. He is trying to buy votes. A promise he has no ability to keep.

Vote buying is illegal in all 50 states. Lock him up!

It's also certainly a lie.

It’s not clear? Of course it’s clear. He’ll so no such thing. He has promised sending checks many times before. Remember the DOGE dividend? He’s just lying. It’s simple.

Have you seen the game called Fact or Crap? You could create an entire huge game module of the lies Trump has told and never need to use the Fact flag because everything he says is Crap.

With the brand new 3 dollar bills

The offer is also a crime. You can just say that.

…..and what is sad, there will be thousands of “ignorant” voters who believes the nasty shit that’s spewing from his filthy mouth. Don’t be a sucker, again, republicans!

Raises certain legal questions??? Gtfo. No, IT IS ILLEGAL.

Again, take away the keys and the codes, he’s lost it.

The whole theme of this convention is "Let's Pretend." Let's pretend that: 1. Trump is on the ballot. 2. Paxton isn't one of the biggest crooks in politics. 3. Most people are benefiting from the economy. 4. Democrats are evil communists. 5. Citizens would actually get that $5,000 bribe.
