Tapper: Where would the money come from for Trump's $5,000 checks? Speaker Johnson: "It's a new, creative idea…We applaud the president for thinking outside the box."

Hard to defend a massive monetary commitment by a guy riffing on a stage, making shit up as he goes. It must be a total nightmare trying to rush to come up with talking points when your memory addled boss spews utter nonsense every other. I guess they deserve props for chaos planning?

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social : Please stop giving this air. It's never going to happen. He brain farted this idea on stage and everyone is debating if it's plausible. It's illegal. A scam. Delusions of an insane old man. There are a million other questions and topics that demand your attention.

We will gladly give each American 5k today that they have already paid in higher prices - so we can continue to ruin our country and the world incuuring further financial stress and higher prices for those same Americans while we make bank stealing & dealing. Plus we get 40% back in tax immediately.

As a bonus Americans will freely give up their rights and freedoms for a few grand right now - then we can really start the process of ensuring Americans never have an opportunity to speak out or change anything we do - the transformation will continue

Johnson’s answer is translated as ‘ we have no idea, because the idiot just said it without planning or discussion’ and there was certainly no budgeting for such an expensive handout.

 I would rather talk to my dirty tennis shoe then to Mike Johnson. I would probably get more complete and informative responses. It’s inexcusable to me for any party to have as their speaker someone who claims to be so totally uninformed. 

They don't need the money. There will never be any che KS. Just like there wasn't a check after the doge "savings" and there wasn't one from the tariffs. Except the companies that rec'd refunds. So we paid the tariffs from their raising prices but trumb refunded the tariffs to the company.
