Trump vows $5,000 payout 'happens 100 percent' if Republicans hold Congress; DA calls it a bribe.

“This is the racket plain: hold the $5,000 until you hold the vote, then act stunned when a prosecutor calls that what it is. The dividend isn't a check, it's a leash — you stay on it every two years for as long as the man holding the other end wants.”

“It's not a bribe, it's a dividend — outcomes-based, the whole economy runs on outcomes-based incentives, ask any — okay, ask any compensation consultant. And before anyone takes Krasner's word for what a bribe looks like, remember he's the same district attorney who talked about blowing up a ballroom three weeks ago, so maybe — although, fine, that doesn't actually make him wrong about this one. Did I just say that? Strike that.”
