President Donald Trump Promises $5,000 Dividend to Every Adult American if Republicans Win Both Chambers of Congress

President Donald Trump pledged to issue a $5,000 "Trump Dividend" to every adult American if Republicans win both the House of Representatives and the United States Senate in the upcoming midterm elections. Speaking at the Republican Party's first-ever midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, President Donald Trump stated that the payout would cost the government approximately $1.3 trillion. He specified that the money must be spent within the United States to ensure domestic economic impact. During the convention, President Donald Trump also highlighted the administration's achievements in tax cuts and border security. He noted that the country currently has the lowest level of illegal immigration ever recorded, with zero illegal immigrants entering Texas in the last 16 months. Additionally, President Donald Trump addressed the ongoing conflict with Iran, stating that the war will end immediately after the election and that oil prices will subsequently decrease. He defended the administration's strategy, arguing that the short-term economic pain of the conflict is necessary to prevent Iran from securing a nuclear weapon. While the administration announced the dividend as a major economic promise, some observers noted that previous promises, such as a $2,000 tariff dividend, never materialized. Democrats characterized the new pledge as an "empty promise."
