Donald Trump pledged to send every American adult a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” if Republicans retain control of both the House and Senate in the upcoming midterm elections, framing it as shared economic success. Economists estimate the plan would exceed $1 trillion, worsening a nearly $1.8 trillion annual deficit and $40 trillion national debt. The proposal requires congressional approval, and tariff revenues would cover only a fraction. Vice President JD Vance suggested limiting payments for wealthier Americans, partially softening Trump’s pledge. Legal experts say the promise is likely constitutional, while Republicans hope the offer helps them defy historical midterm losses.
