Just some bullshit populism IQ47 wants his dipshit cultists to believe he *wanted* to do for them. When it fails to happen, he'll say "well we tried but they wouldn't let us do it!" to direct the public's ire towards an ephemeral "them", instead of himself re: why they're all in such financial straits.

It's gaslighting, IOW, just like the DOGE checks were (and almost everything else that asshat and his regime say).
