Speaking at a party convention, the US president gave no details on how the plan would work or where the money would come from.

    Couldn’t have said it better myself.

    What would be nice is if this very illegal offer was actually investigated and prosecuted.

    Edit:

    After I thought about this for a minute it’s not much different then:

    • “Elect us and we’ll cut your taxes by $5,000.”
    • “Vote for us and we’ll cancel $10,000 in student debt.”
    • “Give us Congress and we’ll increase Social Security benefits.”

    But I guess coming from him everything seems illegal and grifty.

      No, it isn’t like those things at all. Those are promoting changes to how the government works. This is a direct bribe explicitly for voting.

      Investigated? Prosecuted? Yea, and like his felonies, at the end they’ll say he’s not gunna be punished in case that makes his job of being a super criminal while in charge of that country difficult.
