Trump has floated a $5,000 dividend payment to every US adult citizen if Republicans win the midterms

President Donald Trump promised to give every American adult a $5,000 ‘dividend’ if Republicans hold both chambers of Congress in November.

President Trump says he will issue a $5,000 “dividend” to every adult citizen in the US if the Republicans win the midterm elections.

There are currently ~245 million US citizens age 18+, meaning this dividend would cost ~$1.2 trillion.

This would mark the biggest economic stimulus payment since the pandemic.

He made the pledge during his remarks at the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas on Wednesday evening.

‘If Republicans win the United States House and Senate, I will issue a dividend to every adult in the United States of America for $5,000,’ Trump stated on stage as over 21,000 convention attendees looked on.
