If the tariff money is all gone then how can he give everyone $2000 like he is promising? With 360 million people that will cost $720 billion. ---

No, only those making less than $100,000 (roughly 150 million people) are getting the $2,000. As [the Daily Show pointed out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqE9f3hi0ao&t=263s), he’s basically suggesting a socialist program, in that he’s proposing a redistribution of the wealth. And then he’s promised the tariff money for the farmers, for WIC, for paying down the national debt, paying the troops, paying for child care or paying for the Golden Dome. ---

They keep prosecuting him for what clearly shouldn’t even be a crime. Obviously he needs to be pardoned. And if they keep prosecuting, I’ll keep pardoning - for a hundred million dollars a pop. ---

Sure, the economy, human rights, foreign relations, etc are all important But I’d really like to return to a time when our President’s personal taste (and hence, the preference of nearly all Republicans) was better than that of that sleazy 70s-era bordello a mile off Route 5 that hasn’t redecorated since opening.
