Trump just promised Americans another check if things go his way. People are adding it to the tab.
Trump floated paying Americans $5,000 if Republicans win big in the midterms. They have heard these promises before.
President Donald Trump pledged to Americans that if the Republican Party secures a strong victory in the upcoming midterms, they would receive a $5,000 cash dividend. This proposal has been made before, with varying degrees of success. Some of Trump's previous giveaways have been delivered, while others have not materialized at all.
On social media, people are jokingly adding the promised $5,000 to the list of previous free-money promises, totaling $7,000. However, the reality is that many of Trump's past promises, such as "DOGE dividends" and tariff rebate checks, never came to fruition. The latest proposal would reportedly cost around $1.35 trillion, even without considering the initial estimate of $2 trillion savings.
It remains uncertain whether the Republican Party in Congress would support this plan, and the White House has not commented on the matter.
