If you are a U.S. citizen, then Trump’s promises sounded as if, one day, every American would simply have $12,000 put in their pocket.

But if you apply this arithmetic to everyone to whom such payments were promised, the total comes out to a completely different scale—at least $2.4 trillion.

And this is where it gets really interesting: $12,000 for one person sounds like huge help. $2.4 trillion for the state is a whole different story.

When political promises turn into real numbers, the scale becomes much more apparent.
