During his GOP midterm convention speech last night, President Trump promised a $5,000 dividend to every adult citizen if the Republican Party maintains control of Congress in the upcoming election.
- 11 Sep
Despite the economic pressures, Trump said the $5,000 payments would be possible due to the United States’ “tremendous strength and success economically.” They would cost more than $1 trillion, add significantly to the country’s nearly $1.8-trillion annual budget deficit and exacerbate concerns about inflation.
