What people aren't seeing is that this slush fund is Trump buying an army of idiots to add to his brownshirt forces. Not only will there be no consequences for their treasonous attacks, they will be paid for it. If tens of millions are eligible, who and what criteria are to be used to determine who gets a payout? Ultimately, this money will go to Trump supporters as Trump sees fit, so insurrectionists that cause murder and mayhem have the potential for a rich financial payout.
