Chris Hayes of MSNBC’s All In sharply criticized President Donald Trump’s midterm campaign promise to send every American adult $5,000, arguing that the pledge reflects Trump’s belief that voters are “stupid.”
Hayes said Thursday that Trump routinely makes such promises without follow‑through, noting that Republicans already control Congress and the White House, meaning they could issue checks now if they truly wanted to.
Instead, Hayes contended, the proposal is being used as political leverage rather than a serious policy plan.
Hayes emphasized that there is “0% chance of this happening,” even if Republicans retain control of Congress, because rank‑and‑file lawmakers oppose the idea. Some GOP members expressed surprise at Trump’s announcement, with one Senate aide telling The Washington Sun that “it’s not going to happen.”
Hayes reminded viewers that Trump has a history of dangling financial incentives, referencing past promises of dividends tied to tax cuts that never materialized.
The commentary underscores skepticism about Trump’s tactic of offering direct payments as campaign pledges. Hayes framed it as part of a broader pattern of political showmanship, suggesting that Trump relies on voters forgetting past unfulfilled promises.
His remarks highlight ongoing debates about the credibility of campaign pledges and the use of economic incentives as political tools.
