President Donald Trump on Thursday announced that he will be sending out $200 in the mail to 33 million Medicare beneficiaries in the coming weeks.
During an address on his health care policies in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump revealed a"historic provision to benefit our great seniors" in his America First Healthcare Plan. "Under my plan, 33 million Medicare beneficiaries will soon receive a card in the mail containing $200 that they can use to help pay for prescription drugs," the president said."Nobody's seen this before. The cards will be mailed out in the coming weeks. I will always take care of our wonderful senior citizens. Joe Biden won't be doing this."
The pledge, part of Trump's latest health care push, will assist senior citizens in prescription drug copays. The effort would be executed without consent from Congress through a Medicare demonstration program.President Donald Trump makes an announcement on his healthcare policies in Charlotte, North Carolina on September 24, 2020.With 40 days until Election Day, the president on Thursday also signed two executive orders implementing his health care plan.
The first order would help retain health care coverage for those with pre-existing conditions. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told reporters that the second order directs him to pass legislation with lawmakers in Congress to ban surprise medical bills by 2021.Trump's critics and some lawyers have said the president's health care push will carry little weight.
Please - mail it to me.I’ll donate the entire amount to Biden/Harris .

200 dollars ? Why not 400 , 600 or heck why not mail them each 1 million dollars ? We heard that same argument for years when 7 dollar an hour workers asked for a pay raise ? USA is broke . No money.
With my experience with the mail lately you will probably never get to them until after the election
Would that be considered buying votes?
Sounds like buying votes. With his past actions, who could vote for him?
You can stuff your money. That is election fraud
Straight up trying to bribe them
Her last message to you
Dangling carrots in front of seniors. Always with the dirty tricks.
Hmmmm....I wonder if only Republican seniors will qualify.
Big deal. That will pay for what? Maybe a week’s worth of meds?
And whose $ is he planning on using ❓❓❓❓‼️‼️‼️‼️
Isn't buying votes illegal?
Money for loyalty, now you know why Trump can change every republicans...
Did Trump do an internship in Nigeria politics? Nigeria politicians now have a reason to defend vote-buying FFS.
realDonaldTrump can’t buy votes. Americans are smarter than this. His cult followers are not. BidenHarris2020
Maga vote buying. Of course. How sensible. After all - it’s a democracy. LOLOL.
The only thing he is gaining is more contempt by the day.
It cracks me up that in the country that brought us Facebook, Apple Tesla, Space X and Microsoft they still have to send paper cheques out.
Sounds a bribe to me. Corruption at its best!
They will probably use the money for champagne to celebrate his loss on November 3rd.
Just another lie
You are lying..or just being disingenuous. He is not gaining in any poll with possible exception of Rasmussen, which is useless. He is going to lose.. no amount of atta boy will change that. Repub publications are selling wishful thinking to the 40% who Are already his base.Sad
Don’t send me my own money!
Trying to buy votes, with taxpayer money, while taking healthcare and social security from seniors. Not to mention killing off hundreds of thousands of Americans, mostly seniors.
My pawpaw is 90, just want you to know backstreetboys and his bills are more than that
Gains? You setting us up so Trump can try and steal the election?
It’s the right thing to do for the wrong reason. Ugh. I would’ve supported him if he wouldn’t have made the statement that Biden wouldn’t be doing this. That just shows it’s an election gimmick. Oh well. Good for the senior citizens. I’m sure most can use it.
Bribes?
I won't hold my breath waiting for a check from our liar in chief!
Isn’t mailing $200 to 33,0000,000 seniors bribery? Is that even legal?
So he’s admitting to plans of breaking U.S. Code § 597. Expenditures to influence voting. Sending money to people in exchange for a vote. LockHimUp VoteHimOut
America’s Putin
He is the designated loser at this election
Good! They still won’t vote for you 🇺🇸
Trump can shove it
He’s sending us our tax money back instead of negotiating a deal with drug companies 🥴🇺🇸
Says The Liar in Chief 🇺🇸
He killed them off with covid 🤷🏽♂️
Barely enough to cover the expense of food for a week...who does he think he's kidding?!!!
How can this be legal?
He better mailing more then that!
Big fucking deal. It won't make up for Trump eliminating Social Security and Medicare, as he's promised to do.
But Trump has NOT dropped his lawsuit to overturn the Affordable Care Act... so everything he’s saying is BS.
Это взятка? Или покупка голоса? И почему 200? Ведь есть понятие, 'груз 200' ( перевозка самолётом мёртвого человека в цинковом герметически запечатанном гробу)
So the R’s got all up in arms about Bloomberg raising money to help people vote but no problem with this guy shelling out tax payer money to seniors for their votes.... ok got it!
He has no concept of money.
👊👏👊👏
So Trump agrees with UBI?
He can't buy our votes. He doesn't have the money.
The Trump campaign is buying the votes of seniors. But I’m sure that $200 will make up for Trump saying it was OK if they died as long as the economy (and his re-election chances) was saved.
Coming from the party against healthcare 🤔
He's a great president.
Do the Seniors also get a food voucher
Trump will take from Social Security and put his name on a check and act like he gave seniors $200 from his own pocket. Remember he wants to get rid of Social Security and Medicare.
TuckFrump
Buy the votes, it’s how you get through life. To hell with decency, respect, morality or humanity 😡 I hope you’re true to your word, if you loose, we never hear from you or your family ever again, please 🙏🏻
As much as I could use the money..NO WAY IN HELL WILL YOU BRIBE ME FOR MY VOTE!
He’s desperate to buy votes
I still won't vote for him.
I'm still voting blue.
Trump trying illegal bribes
Trying to buy those votes
Buying votes....... not going to work
$6.6 billion we currently don’t have but 2 be borrowed from China 🇨🇳,isn’t it? That is what my grand parents (both sides of the family) just told me: “Mr. Trump can keep printing that $ 4 his re-election: but Biden already got their votes.” It’s their 1st t voting 4 Democrat
Bribe. For 'Nobody's'. How low can you go.
Gains in polls?
Personally ? His money ?
The seniors who don’t matter to him and are dying in record numbers from Covid? Those seniors?
Transactional to the core. Here’s what everyone should be thinking about. What do you think he would do if he was re-elected? You know, on November 4th, when he doesn’t think he needs any of us anymore? Goodbye, giveaways. Just think what a truly unrestrained Trump would do.
So the can do what? Buy 12 days worth of insulin?
Trying to buy votes? If I get$2 00, I’m keeping it and still not voting for him...😡
Who is paying for this? Taxpayers?
Shouldn't this be called corruption...🤔
KatinLexington F Trump. He's literally trying to kill Social Security. Care to mention that? A holes.
Lol $200. Such a con man
There isn't a senior citizen I know who'd be so foolish as to pass up free money, but none would be so foolish to sell their vote. I'm from a family of modest means, my grandmother who has endured serious deprivation in her life said she'd turn down $1 million to vote for Trump.
Does he realize $200 is nothing? No concept of money.
He can drown himself in that blow up pool
But MikeBloomberg donating $16M to pay off the debts of former felons in FL is “buying votes”
TooLittleTooLate
I need someone to make a 'clerical error' and send me 200 billion dollars !
Trying to bribe seniors? Donald Donald Donald, WE, SENIOR CITIZENS ARE SO MUCH SMARTER THAN TO FALL FOR THAT STUNT. Your blood money won't buy votes!!!! Asshole!!
I don’t care if you gave me a gold toilet a million dollars I. Would. Never. Ever. Vote. For. Trump. He is unfit. I would cross the street if he was walking toward me.
What’s the age cutoff? If I get a check, I will donate it to Biden2020
He isn't gaining anywhere. He is still losing by a mile. It's the old gotta make it look closer than what it is. It's the main event. 2014 and 15 Trump was given more air time than any other candidate because he sold tickets. Same shit different day. He's an appointed loser.
What is he, Evita?! Eva Peron tossed money ‘at the little people’ for the same effect. Nonsense. Seniors need a real game plan. Something that has lasting benefit.
😂😂😂😂 realDonaldTrump
So he trusts the USPS with our money but not our votes. 🤨
impeachable BUYING votes but they still hate bunkerdonnie
Just buying votes.
These are the same old nobodies with heart problems that die from covid—and the Don doesn’t care. For Trump, old lives with heart problems do not matter.
so you’re paying for votes. pretty par for the trump course.
Is this legal ? Or can the US bloody President break the laws of Electoral bribery ?
Trump and Anwar Ibrahim share some similarities these days
$200 bucks in exchange for thousands of deaths. Yeah, that ought to do it.
Looking forward to it, still voting for Joe😜
$200 for being part of the 'take one for the team' portion of the COVID plan...lol
33 million seniors? really? 🙄
how can a bankrupt person send cash they don't have ?
Bullshit. Bloody Liar.
I hope he does not win. What a crazy way to get votes!
Yet they investigating Bloomberg for paying off fines.....
$$$$$
Except he’s not gaining in the polls. And if he wants to send me money, I will do the same thing I did with my stimulus check. I will donate it to Democratic campaigns.
$200? Tightwad!
We need laws to prevent taxpayers money being spent by a president to buy votes. Buying votes of seniors by giving them $200 and after elections taking away SocialSecurity and Medicare is just wrong
Oh, so now he’s trying to buy votes? Really?
While you want to completely defund Medicare and Social Security
🥱🥱🥱
Buying votes? Not sure $200 will do it
WHAT
Pay to play? Quid pro quo? Shame
Buying votes huh?
In response to felons getting their right to vote back
Not that lobbying isn’t a manipulation of politics, but using money in this way to suey an election is unacceptable hestellinghisfollowingdodoublevoteforhim didntpayhisfedincometaxes chump
I wonder if Gaetz considers this a “possible crime”
Can anyone say “bribe”
VOTE HIM OUT!!!!
I wonder what AGAshleyMoody has to say about this vote buying agenda. I bet she is going to say he is doing this before the election so that these people can vote for Biden? I surely hope they do. racist corrupt ashleymoody
Don't know how wonderful I am but you can send my check to my local school district or county to support teachers and workers.
And we are all just going to let him do this with our money, I suppose.
Tell that to all the Seniors who are being abused or neglected by their Long Term Care facilities. Tell that to Seniors who are robbed by caregivers. Tell that to the families of Seniors who have died under your watch from Covid-19 realDonaldTrump
We can’t be bought.
Yeah, you're really taking care of the seniors, when 8 out of 10 people that died from covid were senior citizens. What do you think they will do will a measly $200?
Translation: Trump found a way to bypass Congress to buy senior votes and also single-handedly add to the deficit.
BRIBE for vote.
Put down the pipe Newsweek🙄
Also, he really tryna pay people to vote for him? LMFAO just go man. realDonaldTrump
Ya got my address Donald?
Uh.... wow, does he even know how much drugs cost? One of our prescriptions for Ofev is $11k a month. What a joke. realDonaldTrump VoteHimOut
As he gains in the polls. What fucking polls newsweek. What is going on over newsweek?!
Their prescriptions cost waaaaay more than that. Plus rent is at least $1000 per month, phone and utility bills are like $300, food is like $200 realDonaldTrump if you don't send them AT LEAST $2000 each per month, you ain't shit.
ترمب الاحمق يحاول رشوة الناخبين المسنين. المعتوه ترمب يجهل الكثير عن قانون بلاده. الحرامي ترمب جاهل و لكنه يظن انه يعرف كل الاشياء.
So he’s going to buy votes so he can keep the power that he’ll use to take away their Social Security and Medicare. Cool cool.
so fucking third world... bribe for votes
Smart idea. Send $200 to voters, include lots of campaign marketing, and let American tax payers pay for it.
Gains in the polls? What planet are you living on? Trump is losing in places like Nevada and Iowa right now and barely keeping Texas. You guys are a sad excuse of a magazine now.
So bribing people is apparently now legal ? It's disgusting.
Oh bullshit!
Wtf lol
$ 200 split 33,000,000 ways ?
Buy votes here!
