Really it does not matter.

If you put it in the bank, banks via fractional reserve lending can now make loans 10x what you put in the bank.
If you spend it, you just helped many companies.

If you buy shares on wall street, you just helped expand some companies.

The percentage of people that would hide it under thier mattress does not exist.

That wasn't the original topic, was it? The question was about promises. Well...he promised health coverage for all, didn't he?

Let's just start with that one little "fact" you printed.
In the interest of keeping things straight and clear, nowhere in the OP's statement does he claim Trump has a new healthcare plan in place. The OP stated that he'd thank Trump for ending Obamacare. That's not saying that he's put another plan in place, just that he is thankful that Trump has put a stop to the monster that was, and still is, Obamacare. I say still is because he hasn't actually gotten rid of it at this point. He has effectively crippled the system by removing the individual mandate, but he hasn't totally dismantled it at this point.

Obamacare was a good thing if you took your political blinders off and look at what it actually accomplished. Medical care and health should not be just for those who can afford it.

As far as making us weaker, you realize the US has lost a lot of prestige, economic power, and world leadership since trump took over. When you wake up and start breathing in reality let us know.

10 places around the world where US influence has plummeted - Business Insider

"From the South China Sea to the Middle East to Latin America, places where the US once comfortably exerted its economic, military, and political power are slowly beginning to slip out of America's grip, and often into China's. Although former President Barack Obama initiated this trend in some regions through calculated disengagement, it has accelerated sharply under President Donald Trump."

"Almost 100,000 jobs have been lost to overseas competition since Trump took office — a higher rate than at any time in the past five years."

What happened after 911? If you are referring to Bush starting two massively expensive wars in the name of "9/11" (one war against a country that had nothing to do with attacking the US) and keeping them off the books - thus exploding the national debt and putting a crater in our economy, then what does that have to do with the subject of my post?

If Trump ever started handing out 100k it would be on checks against an overdrawn bank account.

Well, as long as we're in fantasy land here - I would combine it with whatever I can get for my current house and buy a house more suited to my wants and needs in another state, preferably one with a mild winter. Any leftover goes in the bank.

This is IT - exactly. He doesn't have the money. Last I read a year or so ago, he only had $6,000,000 cash in the bank. At his and his family's burn rate, that sum is peanuts. A billionaire should have ten-fifteen times that liquid.
