$5,000 check if Republicans win reflects Trump's desperation

oglobo12 September 2026 at 04:09

Donald Trump's popularity is declining, with 58% of Americans disapproving of his performance, against only 38% who approve. This number represents a significant drop compared to the time when the former president made the famous declaration that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue without losing votes. The current situation strongly contrasts with that perception of political invincibility.

The rising cost of living in the United States ranks among the main complaints of the population. This phenomenon is attributed, according to the article, to the increase in import tariffs and the effects of the war in the Middle East, factors that have directly impacted Americans' wallets.

The proposal of a $5,000 check to voters if Republicans win is interpreted as a reflection of Trump's desperation to reverse his unfavorable political situation. The measure represents an attempt to gain popular support amid growing unpopularity.

Lifting secrecy of Master case was the right move

STF President Edson Fachin made the right call by lifting the secrecy of the Banco Master case, ordering the reporting justice André Mendonça to release the inquiries, petitions, and complaints, except for materials from ongoing investigations that could be compromised. Initially, Mendonça made 14 proceedings public, but kept under seal the investigations into the film "Dark horse" (a Bolsonaro biopic) and regarding Senator Jaques Wagner's relationship with a former Master partner, which was corrected by Fachin, who demanded the release of all remaining documents.
