Trump pledges $5,000 'dividend' to Americans contingent on GOP midterm wins
President Trump promised at a GOP midterm convention that every American adult would receive a $5,000 payment, dubbed the 'Trump Dividend,' if Republicans keep control of Congress in November. The proposal, estimated to cost over $1 trillion, would require congressional approval and has no clear funding source, though Vice President JD Vance suggested tariff revenue and hinted wealthy Americans might be excluded.
