The fantasy is strong with this one. Donald Trump was at a Texas rally yesterday and he enthused on how the $5,000 bonus check he’s sending to Americans can be spent. The crowd went along with the gag because, after all, that’s what cults do.
Trump’s closing message to voters ahead of the midterms:
“You could even come to Mar-a-Lago… The problem is that for $5,000, the most you’ll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I’m not even sure you could buy that.” pic.twitter.com/AQXjVcpb1g

Evidently nobody remembers the DOGE dividends that never came and now they’re banking on a tidy deposit from Donald. He has no problem shoving his wealth down their throats and from the sounds of it, they love it.
We are far away from the days when Mitt Romney used to hide his fancy beach house with the fancy garage from the public.
Trump just admitted that he doesn’t know what things cost in his own establishment and he doesn’t know what things cost, period. Yet they cheer.
