I don't know what the President is doing, except trying to buy votes. There is the $5,000 he is promising if you vote Republican in the 2026 mid-term.
We just received emails announcing we are "receiving a One-Time Payment of $90 to offset some of the cost of your October Medicare premium. This will ensure these funds benefit YOU and your individual healthcare needs."
Woohoo... Doesn't cover the rise in cost of groceries, fuel, health insurance, etc.
He goes on to say, "I will never stop fighting to put the American People FIRST, restore Affordability, protect your hard-earned money, and lower the Cost of Healthcare."
Hah! It's sad that some voters actually believe him.
