I promise everyone eleventy bajillion dollars if they don't vote for him and his moron squad.
Someone could argue you can't deliver those billions. That person might not be on Lemmy, but let me say this: if you vote for Trump and do get 5000$ from him, his batshit crazy politics will certainly cost you more than that. At the same time, if he loses and the US goes back to 'normal', you might not get elevently bajillion from this guy but you will get a more capable leader that takes economy advice more serious which at the end of the line will mean more money for everyone who is not a billionaire. It really is an easy choice. Don't vote for Trump, you're already finding out why you shouldn't. Don't do it please.
I didn't say billions I said bajillions and I am just as likely to deliver on my promise as trump is, which is to say not at all.
But pointless sarcasm aside you are 100% correct.
And so are you.
