Did he say that he would pay all adults to vote for him?  Oh wait, he did NOT.  

He said "if the Republicans win both houses of Congress, then he (the gov't) would pay every adult in the US $5K.

It appears I'm missing the bribery portion of the statement.

If a politician said to the masses "If the Demo-rats win both the house and the Senate, we will lower taxes on all Americans by 5%" is that a bribe?  Yes or no please.  

Now, I realize that the above Might appear to be a trick question, since the Demo-rats will NEVER Lower taxes on the American but will only RAISE taxes, because they are socialists/communists who hate capitalism.  Understand that is not a trick question but a valid one.  

And to sum up, of course there was NO bribe at all in any sense of the word, but feel free to explain your confusion.

Thanks Pete and enjoy the weekend.

If you had a pair, I'd simply challenge you to "defend" the lies of your little buddies here, however since your past responses are an indicator of your inability to debate any subject, political or otherwise, I will just assume you are too much of an intellectual lightweight to engage.  Then again, such is the nature of intellectual cowards like yourself.  

Having stated the facts above, let me just posit that aside from another pathetic attempt at a drive by insult, and before you wriggle back to the dog crap that sustains maggots like you, would you care to take a shot at answering how Donald Trump's political promise/statement is a "Bribe"?  

I doubt you will because like all leftist losers, the best you can muster is to run away and hide under your desk as you invariably do when challenged. 

It certainly isn't surprising that your intellectual vacuousness is driving your anger and irritation.

Now you can feel free to wriggle away like a leftist worm.

 "This  little  example of pedantic gamesmanship is instructive, because I don’t think Trump‘s statements would ever be prosecuted as criminal bribery. On the other hand, it is clear to everyone with half a brain that Trump was trying to buy votes. I’m not as fussed about it as some since I think all politicians do this. For example, Biden was trying to buy votes when he canceled student debt. Trump was trying to buy votes when he passed the big beautiful Bill. Biden was trying to buy votes when he passed the inflation reduction act, and so on and so on and so on."  Post #24

"1. In my opinion, Trump would not be convicted of criminal bribery, because his offer to buy votes with government money was vague enough to be characterized in court as a routine “political promise” that he has no intention and no means to keep.  He carefully did not offer his own money for votes.  He offered my money, Rod’s money, and so on.  Maybe even yours.  (Do you pay taxes?).  There is enough ambiguity in his speech that I’m sure he would weasel out of actual criminal charges.

2.  In my opinion, Trump’s offer as made in his speech was a shameful heavy-handed lie, poorly conceived to buy votes.  It is an embarrassment and proves for the umpteenth time that he lacks any integrity. "  Post #31
