Trump announces $90 checks for 20 million ‘wonderful seniors’ to help cover Medicare premiums
The New York Post ^ | 10/03/2026 | Ella Morrison

President Trump announced Friday that over 20 million “wonderful seniors” will receive $90 checks this month to help cover Medicare premiums.

Eligible Medicare Part B enrollees will receive the one-time payment via direct deposit or check thanks to the Medicare Improvement Fund that was established in 2008***

Trump called the Medicare Improvement Fund, “a pointless ‘Slush Fund’ that has only been used by Dumocrats in Congress to pay for the Waste, Fraud, and Abuse for their Special Interest friends, and drive up Healthcare costs.

“We are finally using this Fund, along with my Most Favored Nations Deals, to substantially LOWER costs for our Seniors,”***

Over 20 million senior citizens are said to benefit from Trump’s one-time payment.

However, those whose premiums are already paid by Medicaid or pay an Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount do not qualify.

“I pledged to protect and preserve Medicare and Social Security, which were on the verge of RUIN by Joe Biden, who foolishly and maliciously let tens of millions of Illegal Aliens into our Country, and we are doing just that for America’s Seniors,” Trump added***

Trump’s pledge to seniors Friday night comes off the back of his administration announcing $500 checks for about 950,000 Obamacare enrollees — premised on the Biden administration’s alleged overcharging of user fees to health insurance companies, which in turn charged consumers higher rates.

The president clarified the $90 senior payment is “separate from the equally substantial Refund ‘Checks’ we are sending to One Million Americans who were overcharged for their Unaffordable Care Act plans by Joe Biden.”

“Because I delivered on this very important issue for the American People, they can also rest assured the highly popular $5,000 Trump Dividend will be distributed to every US citizen if, and when, the Republicans win the Midterm Elections!,” Trump added.***

Let’s see:

$90 for 20 million “wonderful seniors” +
$500 for 950,000 Obamacare enrollees +
$5,000 for every U.S. adult if Republicans win the midterms

= $5,590.00 or the best election money can buy.

Trump jumped the shark about eight months into this second term.

Something happened. I wonder what?

Why not give $20 million dollar checks to 90 million seniors?

I think this is going to happen regardless of the outcome of the election. I'm pledging 10% of my check to the Freepathon. Does anyone want to join my pledge?

He was never a conservative in the true sense. He’s a populist with some pragmatism. So we will continue to see stuff like this. Hope it’s not too damaging in the long run.

I forgot to add:

$5,000 "DOGE dividend" checks + (still waiting on my mailman)
$2,000 "tariff dividend" checks (my check must have got lost in the mail)

The good news is that after COVID, there aren’t that many seniors left...

We’re now a gimmie culture.

Trump could have easily run as a Democrat. I remind deranged Trump haters that he was probably a democrat longer then he was a Republican. They either deny he was or start shouting at me. Then I show them the evidence,they either shout louder or claim i made it up. Some are composed enough to ask me what my attitude toward him would be if he was a Democrat. I tell them I would tolerate him like I tolerated other Democrat presidents and hope I’m somewhere else or somewhat insulated from the coming collapse.

Cute, this reads like a stupid hit piece from the TDS a-holes at the NYP. Probably because that what it is.
