The Senate Republicans account, run under Sen. Tom Cotton, posted on X that ‘Democrat socialists love to promise free stuff’ without saying who pays for it. Commenters and outlets quickly noted that President Trump has himself promised tariff rebates, DOGE stimulus checks, and a $5,000 midterm ‘dividend,’ none of which have been delivered.

A community-style note attached to the post stated plainly that Trump proposed several direct cash payouts funded by tariffs or budget cuts and that none were provided. Social media users compiled the running list of unfulfilled promises, adding them up to roughly $13,000 per person in phantom payouts.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
