Of course, only #Trump is promising this, not the whole #GOP, and Trump does not have power to do it (giving him another excuse for not paying it).
But, maybe the funniest part is #Trump supposedly opposing "socialism" while promising to give free money.

rather than wait until they will probably lose the House (and so won't be able to give it, making the promise moot).
While the bribe is unlikely to swing both houses, there could be enough stupid people to swing a few seats, and maybe make the #GOP retain a majority in the Senate.

#Trump's #$5000 #bribe copies a scene from Idiocracy.
And even a #Fox interviewer asked the obvious question of why the #GOP don't just give the $5000 now (while they can) if they actually intend to give it,
