Donald Trump was asked why he didn’t give each American that $5k already and his brain basically imploded
Donald Trump, as you’ll probably know, has been raising eyebrows even higher than usual by promising Americans $5k each if the Republicans cling onto power in November’s midterms.
That’s north of $1tn dollars but Trumps insists they’ve got the money to do it (bribery accusations aside, obviously).
Which got Fox News wondering – if Trump’s already got the money why doesn’t he give it to hard-pressed Americans right now? Coz they could sure as hell do with it.
And such was the difficulty Trump had computing this that his brain basically imploded in real time.
LAURA INGRAHAM: Why not just give the money? If you have it, why not just give it now?
TRUMP: Because the Democrats can’t do it. Because with them it’s negative growth. pic.twitter.com/Z7uhIvhItv

Will take a while for his synapses – both of them – to recover from that.

Sounds like half the national debt could be paid off now….if it were remotely true.
MAGA. I’m sorry but you are quite possibly, as a collective, the dumbest fucking people to ever walk this planet. Jim Jones is absolutely jealous of what Trump has created with the useful idiots…
