Trump proposes $5,000 dividend for Americans

US President Donald Trump said he would pay every American adult a $5,000 “Trump dividend” if Republicans retain control of Congress in November’s midterm elections.

Trump made the proposal at the Republican Party’s first-ever midterm convention, but it was not immediately clear how the payments would be funded or whether they would be legally possible. With around 270 million US adults, the plan could cost about $1.35 trillion.

Trump is making the midterm elections a personal campaign, telling supporters: “I’m asking you to pretend that I’m on the ballot.”
