What are you doing with your $5k?

I was thinking of a super upscale Matchbox.

That would pay my living expenses for 2 years!

I might buy some Euros. Or maby some gyros.

Except that five thousand is how much they’ll pay you to take the Cybertruck.

Citizens only!

i think it would be a good start to a “New Car Fund”. My Honda is 5 1/2 years old now and, though it is running very well, I should start saving now.

This is a very old maneuver from Cheetolini.

Elsewhere, I did see reports noticing that a good number of people did fall for similar promises on the past election. I don’t think this time it will work.

I do.

With a good number, yes, but I was referring to most of the ones that where fooled before. In the US, one just need enough votes from the independents and moderates, not all of them.

Vromm?!? Do teslas come with an exhaust pipe now? Cool! I still don’t want one.
I’m a foreigner, so I will not be able to spend that money either. We can all show reciprocal solidarity. I feel for you all.

Oh, yeah, how did I forget about that one?

It’s a speaker. If you want stereo, there’s a dual exhaust option.
j/k

Same.

I will believe it when I see it. I cannot understand how he still has the support he does and I don’t trust that the drop in popularity is real. You will still have plenty of people that furrow their brows at all his idiotic moves (Iran War, trade war with Canada, AI slop posting, etc) but will still “hold their noses” to vote, yet again, for more of it because the alternative is a person that is a woman/brown/socialist/decent.

I’m not a moderator or anything, but I put this in MPSIMS for a reason. The idea is ludicrous, but it would be fun to talk about what you would do with a $5k “Trump dividend”, either enjoy it yourself or to spend on stuff you support or just to troll the GOP/Trump.

If you define “adult” as anyone 18 or over, approximately 270 million Americans qualify. So this bribe would cost the US Treasury roughly $1.35 trillion. To put that in perspective, that’s about 20% of the whole US federal government budget, and around 25% of total income. It’s substantially more than even today’s entire bloated military budget.

It’s a good thing for the Orange Felon that his followers can’t do arithmetic, but even so, their gullibility is astonishing.

Suffice to say, the polls show it. And recent elections show that the change is not a mirage.

As for fun. I will use it to pay bills that the economy of the Orange one caused.

I will use it to support the campaign of the next Democratic presidential nominee.

I had to check whether this absurd proposal was real. It is. A laughable, total lie, but the Orange One said it. The numbers they came up with for the cost of this are slightly less than my estimate, but in the same general ballpark.

That article is worth a look because the first still picture a little further down in the article is such a perfect caricature of an ignorant blowhard.

In fact, to hell with it, here’s the pic! :grin:

I clarified that I’m looking for a Tesla Matchbox. And I can make whatever car noises I want when playing on the family room floor.

Moderating:

I’m sorry, but as a moderator for both MPSIMS and P&E, this thread is already much too political for MPSIMS. We have many posters who avoid P&E because they don’t want to read about politics, so if it involves politics, it belongs in P&E. You included the language, “or just to troll the GOP/Trump.” That’s explicitly political.

Moving.

Now, let’s try to keep it out of the Pit.
