“Mr. President, on the checks, the U.S. is still $40 trillion in debt — if your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote?” Scott asked.

Trump insisted that he didn’t promise Americans $5,000 checks for “turning out the vote,” but instead as a “reward for people having to put up with five and four years of a horrible situation caused by [former President Joe] Biden.”

“They had to put up with the four years, and that carried on for at least a half of a year,” Trump said.

“Just a horrible thing that Biden did to our country, and that’s not only just from an economic standpoint; you look at the border, you look at the crime, and now we’ve got it under control, but what a period of time. It’s almost a reward for the people having to put up with Biden’s policies.”

Scott immediately pushed back, telling Trump that he had previously floated tariff rebate checks to Americans that never materialized.

“Not you,” Trump said before leaning in aggressively toward Scott with an angry expression. “Hey! Not you. Your network, and you, you’re the worst.”
