Trump promises voters $5000 for GOP win at BIZARRE midterm convention
During a Republican midterm convention in Dallas, former President Trump promised voters a $5,000 "Trump dividend" to every adult American if Republicans maintain control of Congress. He also defended his "unpopular war in Iran" and urged the crowd to pretend he is running in November. The pledge, which could cost at least $1 trillion, has drawn criticism from Democrats and fiscally conservative Republicans who question its feasibility and ideological alignment.
Trump's promise of a $5,000 dividend aims to energize the Republican base for the midterms, but faces significant skepticism regarding its funding and economic impact, potentially alienating swing voters and fiscally conservative Republicans.
The segment also discussed an inflatable slide issue on Air Force One, Senator Tim Scott's animated speech, and Senator John Fetterman's surprise video appearance introducing a Republican candidate.
