#Bribery by any other name. #Drumpf thinks #$90 is $100, and that "wonderful seniors" are stupid enough to think a "check" covering far less than one $202.90 monthly Medicare Premium is a great deal. It shows off the coddled, stupid life he leads at our expense. US funds are not his own piggy bank.
