The Truth Behind Trump’s $5000 Midterm Bribe

Here is a summary of the episode.

Donald Trump stood on stage at a Republican midterm convention in Texas and promised every American voter $5,000 if the GOP wins control of Congress. The pledge was immediately met with disbelief from economists, political operatives, and even some Republicans, not just because of its staggering $1.3 trillion price tag, but because it represents a pattern of unfulfilled promises from a president whose erratic economic policies are now spooking the bond market. Meanwhile, a full-blown trade war with Canada has erupted, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is openly targeting the very U.S. states that will decide control of the Senate in November. The combination of a blatant vote-buying scheme and a self-inflicted trade conflict is creating a uniquely toxic political environment for Republicans heading into the midterms.
