Surely everyone can see this is a lie? And if it isn’t, then it’s got to be illegally paying for votes. I can just see the SC ruling - ‘everyone should have known he was lying, so it doesn’t count as corruption’
Couple of interesting things about this: this covers both the supply side and the demand side of the bribe economy; it’s illegal to offer the bribe, and illegal to accept it. Both are punishable for up to 2 years imprisonment per count. So if the US actually were a nation of laws, that would mean approximately 360 million years of prison for the fat orange traitor, and up to 2 years in prison for everybody who votes Republican thinking they’re going to get $5,000 for it.
Of course, we’re not a nation of laws. Clearly. I mean, Trump has violated the law pretty much every single day (sometimes multiple times per day) that he’s been in office, and nothing negative has happened to him. We’ve all just accepted that our president is a traitor, and that’s just the way things are.
Why does it need to be a lie? It conveniently is more money than anyone on SSI is supposed to have in their bank account, automatically resulting in kicking everyone off that program for having too much money.

I think they’ve made very clear that they use the Nixon rule. If the president does it, it’s not illegal
