The Trillion-Dollar $5,000 Check
In “The Trillion-Dollar $5,000 Check,” Don takes a closer look at Donald Trump’s promise of a $5,000 dividend for American adults and asks the questions the campaign slogan leaves out.

This episode separates the appeal of the check from the much harder reality of paying for it.
