Trump jokes his promised $5,000 worker dividend would only buy "a hamburger and a small dessert" at Mar-a-Lago.
While pitching a proposed $5,000 payout to citizens if his party controls the midterms, the President joked that the money would barely cover lunch at his private resort, adding, "that's not a good place if you're price-conscious."
It is incredibly telling that a life-changing amount of money for a struggling family is casually brushed off as pocket change for a club lunch. How are regular people supposed to trust politicians to fix the cost of living when they are this completely insulated from the reality of a grocery bill?
