Trump Promises $5,000 to Americans if Republicans Win Midterms
World
US President Donald Trump has promised to pay $5,000 to every adult US citizen if the Republican Party retains control of both chambers of Congress following the November midterm elections. He made the pledge on September 9 at the Republican convention in Dallas.
Trump called the proposed payments “Trump dividends” and linked them to the economic success of the United States. He added one condition: the money must be spent within the United States.
“If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them … because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000,” Trump said.
The president compared the payment to a successful company distributing cash to its shareholders. He provided no further details on how the proposal would be implemented or financed at the time of his speech.
The US midterm elections are scheduled for November 3. Voters will elect the full House of Representatives and 33 members of the Senate. Retaining control of both chambers of Congress is the condition Trump linked to the proposed “Trump dividends.”
