Trump has a documented record of major promises that were never fulfilled. Among others, making Mexico pay for the border wall, repealing and replacing Obamacare, eliminating the federal debt, releasing his tax returns. More recently, the proposed $5,000 DOGE dividend that was never issued and later promised roughly $2,000 tariff-dividend checks, which also have not been paid. The announced $5,000 “Trump dividend” is not yet a broken promise because it is conditional on future election results and would require congressional approval.

But like the other promises, it ain't happening.

If anyone from SealTeam47 wants to prove their trust in Trump, they can send me $3,000 now and I’ll send them back all $5,000 when the TrumpBux checks come through.

You might want to stop and check which party has the majority in both houses of Congress right now.

I’m in.

I’ll create a website where we can make these trades.

I’m spending my take on a 36 ft yellowfin and a ranch in Montana.

Because democrat voters are so stupid, they will vote GOP because they heard, just before their 2nd bong hit, they would get a $5,000 check.

Most of them have already spent that money.

No $5k check? I guess I'll clean up my old golf clubs.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Lutnick doesn’t have something like this already in place.

I think it was more of an incentive for republicans to get out and vote and not pay for play like dems normally do

Just like with those checks promised from all the tariffs being collected.


But there were tariff checks handed out. They were just made out to companies...after they had raised their prices on consumers to make up for the tariff. No one could have seen that coming. Just bad luck for us, I guess.

Why not $50k or $100k?

Trump jumped the shark.

I'm not joking when I say this promise will secure an extra 3-5% of the black vote...my prediction is that it happens, but reduced down to like $500

CBS: Would Congress need to approve that?

TRUMP: "I think not. I think they will do it if we needed it. But we think not. The country is doing so well...we have over $20T worth of manufacturing plants and other investments being made in the US."

JD Vance had mentioned that the priority is for working Americans to get this check, so it's unclear precisely whether this will be income-tested or not

Because it's pure spending, it COULD be done through reconciliation, which needs merely 50 votes + JD Vance in the Senate

Trump didn't say anything about "right now" those checks are for AFTER the midterms.

So the checks have the same problem as every other promise about what the Republicans are going to do "after the midterms":

If whatever they're promising to do is such a good idea, then why haven't they done it already?

You know, considering that they currently have a majority in both houses of Congress, and a Republican president, and it's been that way for two years?

How many promises of checks so far with none delivered?

3? This will make 4. I see a trend.
