He's done a lot of stupid things during his presidencies, but this one Trumps them all

THE END OF DOGE, THE RETURN OF POLITICS AS USUAL: “I NEVER MEANT IT!” Estimated cost: “Well above $1 trillion.”
"I can make this promise to you, and here is my promise," he said. "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our economic — tremendous economic success like in history, we've never had anything like what's happening. But because of our tremendous strength and success economically — I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.
Politicians have been buying votes, albeit usually more delicately than last night’s attempt, since there have been politicians, so how this merits the term “first of its kind” beats me. Regardless: In one move, the man has completely made a mockery of his and the Republican Party’s claims to a desire to cut government spending of funds it doesn’t have. “I’m going to steal from your grandchildren tomorrow to buy your vote today” is as despicable a campaign promise as any of the socialist pablum being peddled by the Democrats and their sub-party, the DSA.
The desperate act of a fool.
