Trump pledges to give every US adult $5,000 if Republicans win the midterms
During a speech at the GOP midterm convention in Dallas, Donald Trump pledged to give every adult US citizen $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate. He likened the payments to corporate dividends, with the caveat that the money must be spent domestically. The promise, which would likely cost over $1 trillion, could exacerbate the US budget deficit and raise inflation concerns.
This campaign promise directly impacts the national debt and economic stability, and its feasibility and funding mechanisms will be a key issue in the upcoming midterm elections.
