What's up with immediate cash payments?

This is what the Dumpsters are proposing to help us out in the pandemic. I've seen some suggest that it's a progressive economic policy that will outdo the Democrats. That perhaps Dump will even move in a progressive direction overall to defeat Biden. Don't be fooled. This is not universal basic income. UBI is a monthly payment, not a one and done like what Dump is thinking. One and done will help for a month and then we starve thereafter. It's a stunt, nothing more.
