President Trump says if Republicans win the House and Senate, he will give $5,000 to every US citizen. And if Democrats win they're going to raise taxes, and destroy the country. ๐บ๐ธ
Matter of $5,000 payment is being attacked for the wrong reasons. Critics ask why, if he can do it, he isn't doing it now. A $1.2 trillion disbursement requires approval from Congress. President Trump recognizes legal limit rather than claiming he can do something he can't.
Compare it with the Medicare checks he announced this week: those went out immediately because the money was already appropriated and sitting unused in an existing fund. One needs approval, the other doesn't, and he has treated them differently.
