Where are Donald’s promised $2000 rebates for the tariffs from last year? Never happened. Instead, the Nonpartisan Tax Foundation estimates tariffs cost each American $1000 in 2025 and that will likely increase to $1300 this year. And what happened to his promised $5000 dividend for each American for the DOGE cuts. The answer is easy ... they never arrived and DOGE was shut down because no real savings were realized; just thousands of Americans lost their jobs. So why should believe in his $5000 promise this time? It will cost us a mere $1.2 trillion. Has he actually become a socialist? Or is he just so naïve that he thinks that his bribes will work as well as his threats to Iran have? Enough.
