I don’t actually think it’ll go to anyone who needs it - probably mostly another trump family grift.
The thought experiment goes that he doesn’t actually pay any stochastic terrorists, he just convinces a whole lot of them that they’ll be taken care of if they pop off and cause enough chaos for the election to be cancelled. Used that way, 1.8B can go much further than it would for an organized / funded militia
This is along the lines of my thinking as well. Insinuate it’s going to J6ers (as if that’s not already who has been signing up for the ICE bonuses that will never be doled out) and then just pocket it. The dumb fucks in the base have shown they don’t need payment to pledge undying loyalty just so long as they can keep the hate train going.
