If you're Trump, and a guy like Ron Johnson takes a dump on your genius idea, maybe life's sending you a message

[Miles Archer]

I haven't seen Trump's "$2000 checks scheduled to arrive mid-2026, right before the Midterms" scam as anything other than a blatant attempt to BUY VOTES.

Johnson's invoking the deficit.

A prominent Republican senator broke with President Donald Trump after rebuking him on his proposal to issue Americans $2,000 checks, going as far as to compare him unfavorably with former President Barack Obama.

“Look, we can’t afford it. I wish we were in a position to return the American public their money, but we’re not,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said, speaking on with Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo, according to Fox 8 on Monday.

“We’ll have at least a $2 trillion deficit this year. President Trump had deficits about $800 billion. Obama, in his last four years, $550 billion a year. Now we’re $2 trillion? Completely unacceptable.”

Trump first floated the idea of issuing Americans direct checks in early November, though he didn’t offer a specific dollar amount, instead suggesting the money could be redirected from what Democratic lawmakers were pushing to be spent on extending Obamacare subsidies. At a total of around $125 billion, the proposed funding for the subsidies, split up between the roughly 260 million American adults, would amount to about $481 per person.

1. When MAGAt Ron Johnson rebukes you, you know you've really fucked up,

8. T Minus

"Totally MEDIOCRE "RINO" Ron Johnson says today, even though we are the richest, strongest, and BEST country in the world, that we are too BROKE to pass the "GREAT TRUMP TARIFF CHECK" to the American people. RINO Ron is a disaster and has been "WRONG" about everything he ever said, though he wouldn't even be there without TRUMP. We need WEAK and INCOMPETENT RINO RON to be primaried by a real patriot. Thank you for your attention in this matter."

2. But we can afford to gift 40BILL to a foreign dicKtator?

[underpants]

3. Hold on, now they are saying the $2K is coming from the ACA subsidies?

I thought it was tariff money.

Oh and someone needs to check the printer to see if the DOGE checks got jammed up in there.

[mr715]

9. All Americans get DOGE checks in the form of NFTs nt

[underpants]

13. I thought that NFT was from Soros

I’m getting so confused

[mr715]

14. I'm mistaken, you are correct.

The NFT was from Soros. The DOGE check came in dogecoin, but only because our great nation couldn't afford the etherium.

4. We cannot afford to send the little people 2K - but we can affored to give way more than that

to the wealthy in tax cuts.

[mr715]

10. Wouldn't 2k checks be inflationary?

How do we put the cat back in the box without price controls?

[underpants]

12. Whoa whoa whoa there. That's too many steps ahead for them

They complain about house prices while slapping tariffs on Canadian lumber.

Immigration food costs GDP etc.

They have 24 hour news cycle to DOMINATE while reacting to the spittle filled tantrums passing as policy announcements of their child king.
