That's all he's doing.
Mara LiassonCORRESPONDENT
He's saying, "If my party wins both houses of Congress, I will issue $5,000 checks to everyone." Now, $5,000 checks to every adult in America would be $1.3 trillion.
Mara LiassonCORRESPONDENT
But this is very similar to someone saying, "If I am elected, I will issue everyone a COVID check or a tax cut."
Elena MooreCORRESPONDENT
Mm.
Mara LiassonCORRESPONDENT
Uh, it's no different from any campaign promise, and what's interesting about it is that Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped dramatically because he hasn't fulfilled his campaign promises, and now he's making another one.

Ryan McMakenNARRATOR
federal judge william sessions ordered ozturk released because her arrest potentially chills the speech of the millions and millions of people in this country who are not citizens but that was the whole point Last September, in a case similar to the Stanford Daily case, federal judge William Young ruled that the Trump administration's implementation of the executive orders on foreign students was targeted intentionally at specific viewpoints in order to chill speech.
Ryan McMakenNARRATOR
The evidence presented at trial included the public officials' many public statements suggesting that they wished to staunch public protests related to Israel's treatment of Palestinians, including the president's campaign promise that he would put an end to the student protests on this issue by kicking out protesters.
Ryan McMakenNARRATOR
A Trump executive order interpreted support for terrorists to be centered on core First Amendment speech and expressive conduct, such as attending public protests, leading such protests, or even publishing op-eds.
Ryan McMakenNARRATOR
Judge Young declared that he saw virtually no evidence that anyone along the way, any Trump official, seriously questioned whether pure political speech in support of Palestine or against Israel could be construed as support for terrorism.
