He randomly brought it up like 2 times, and none of them were this week. He's already forgotten about it.

Yeah, I'm wondering why we're still talking about it even.

For some reason the media still need to pretend he's a sane man making rational policy decisions.

He also framed it as “if they win”… so seems illegal.

If you vote for me and we win, I’ll give you 5k.

If you're stupid enough to believe that you'll get a check you might want to sit this election out
