Trump speaks at GOP midterm convention in Dallas

Trump claims he will send $5,000 to every citizen if Republicans hold on to control of Congress

Trump has claimed he will send every citizen $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the US House and Senate. He provided no details about where he would source this money from or the legality of the incentive.

“So if the Republicans win, you win with us … it will be called the Trump dividend,” the president said.

    Just like he would lower gas, lower groceries, not start any new wars, and release the Epstein/trump files?

    That’s like almost 2 Trillion dollars. Good luck with that. Unless he only means red states, which he probably does.

      He means nothing because all he does is lie. He said just now he’s also sending $500 for Obamacare subsidizes expiring. He promised doge checks, he promised refund checks, none of it is real.

      It’s Trump promsing to pay something. If you believe he’s actually going to pay anyone you’ve not been paying attention to literally anything Trump has done in the last like 40 years. Trump IOUs might as well be toilet papsr, at least that way they’d be useful for something.
