Fox News is Begging Republicans to ‘Show Up and Vote’ So They Can Collect Trump’s $5,000 Bribe

With five voting days left in the 2026 midterm election, the madness of Donald Trump and his MAGA movement is spreading like a cancer in what was once the Republican Party. They are embracing ever more preposterous tactics in a futile attempt to reverse the advantages of Democrats who are predicted to win majorities in Congress and state houses across America.

Donald Trump Fox News

Among the strategies of the desperate GOP are psychotic binges of name calling and utterly bizarre accusations that all Democrats are “radical far left lunatics,” transgender communists, and jihadi terrorists. These wackazoid warblings are coming mostly from Trump, but they have also been universally adopted by his MAGA-tist minions, and his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Which has some problems of its own…

On Thursday morning’s episode of Fox & Friends, the lunacy of the MAGA cult was in full bloom during an interview with GOP House Squeaker, Mike Johnson. The Squeaker displayed an impressive quantity of optimism in his confidence of retaining the House majority and his Squeakership. And the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox & Friends, Lawrence Jones and Ainsley Earhardt (Sean Hannity’s wife), were there for it.

Johnson: Hakeem Jeffries will not have a race for Speaker. Because Republicans are gonna win. I’ll be the Speaker in the next Congress. I’ll be administering the oath to some of these people who ran for Congress as Marxists, sadly. We’ll see what happens. If Hakeem wants to remain the leader of the Democrats he’ll be the Minority Leader if he wins. But they’re gonna hold him hostage for all sorts of things.

“This is a taste of what’s to come. It’s a harbinger of what’s to come in the Democrat Party. I think voters are savvy. I think they’re paying attention to this. And I think we’re gonna win. But this is a contrast again between common sense and absolute crazy.
Jones: That’s why people gotta show up, Mr. Speaker. All the Republican voters, everyone who was at the president’s rallies. Big numbers. They gotta show up and vote. No matter what tricks that the Democrats may play in this election.
Earhardt: And if you’re right, if Republicans win the House and the Senate, everyone gets $5,000 from Donald Trump.

Johnson’s massive dose of Hopium is typical of politicians who are losing, but are too addicted to power and married to their infallibility to acknowledge their failures. However, his appearance on Fox News actually affirms just how badly he and his party are doing. He isn’t going to corral any new voters in that audience. He’s screeching to the choir.

What’s more. the electoral anxieties of the MAGA clan are evident in the pleading that Jones makes to the Fox viewers to “show up and vote.” Never mind that it is wholly unethical for anyone on an alleged “news” network to be so brazenly campaigning for their favored party and candidates. His campaign appeal is literally addressed to only “Republican voters, everyone who was at the president’s rallies.”

Making matters worse, Earhardt chimed in to remind Fox viewers of Trump’s illegal bribe of $5,000 for every adult citizen if Republicans are victorious. He made no exceptions for millionaires, murderers, rapists, or drug traffickers. He didn’t even exempt the Marxists, jihadists, drag queens, and fake newsers that he despises.

Earhardt also lied that the money would come from Trump, when it would actually be more than a trillion dollars of taxpayer funds. That is, if Trump actually kept his promise. Which would be a low percentage wager.

All of this politicking by Trump, and Johnson, and their mouthpieces on Fox, is just another attempt to deceive gullible MAGA-bots into casting another vote for Dear Leader. Who has repeatedly proven that he couldn’t care less about them or the welfare of the nation. Or the world. Or anything other than himself.
