Trump promises $5,000 to every American if Republicans retain Congress

Donald Trump urged American citizens to vote for Republicans in the upcoming November elections, warning that otherwise, the country could fall into crisis. During an event in Dallas, the former president asked his supporters to imagine him on the ballot, emphasizing the importance of unity among Republican voters.

Trump announced that if Republicans manage to retain control of Congress, every adult would receive $5,000, a proposal presented as the 'Trump Dividend.' This promise has been viewed as controversial due to the lack of clarity regarding the source of funds for these payments, as well as the legality of the proposal.

Throughout the event, Trump defended his administration and highlighted the need to combat what he termed a threat of communism in the United States, alongside his aggressive policy against Iran, which he considered key to reducing oil prices.

Reports suggest that the proposal could cost the U.S. treasury approximately $1.35 trillion if implemented, given that there are about 270 million adults in the country.

Meanwhile, polls indicate that Democrats could regain control of the House of Representatives, increasing the pressure on Republicans and their allies. Trump called on voters not only to support party candidates but also to envision their own role in electoral success.

In reaction to these promises, several analysts and politicians have questioned the viability and details of how this 'dividend' would work, as well as the lack of financial backing for carrying out the initiative.
