he's going to send out "tariff bonus" checks for $1M each to everyone!!!* What care you if a loaf of bread costs $50 when a cool million lands in your checking account?

*Of course, some restrictions have to apply, lest the "wrong" people get the BIG BONUS BUCK$. To get the Big Beautiful Trump Tariff Bonus check, you must (1) already have a net income of $100M/year or greater, (2) have donated at least $2M to Nazipublican candidates in the last election cycle, and (3) score in the "eligible" range on the Trump/Miller "whitey-whiteness" scale.
