The Bottom Line

Three cash promises, three different funding explanations, and zero dollars delivered so far. Whether the $5,000 “Trump dividend” becomes the exception — a promise that turns into real legislation and an actual payment — will likely become clear only in the months following the November midterms. Until then, it’s a pledge worth watching, not one worth spending.

    This country need to see what is really happening, Trump is trying to align this country with Russia. Where the wealthy rule even if it cost the democracy. Intentionally destroying this economy as his family gains. The US is no longer a leader in the World and will never get back to where it was before Trump. Wars have mostly started with a Republican agenda. Make America Great Again means only the wealthy control not the people. Talk about communism what is worse outside or inside destruction by its own elected leaders. Since Trump has been in office the debt for main street workers has been in the Billions for Tax payers. Most all American military bases destroyed in the middle east while he continues to lie. Americas strength is it diverse culture, this is what Trump and Putin are using to weaken this country. We know what is in the Espstine files but sadly our values have fallen.
