  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has promised to give every adult American $5,000 if Republicans retain control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the midterm elections. According to Punch, he made the pledge at the Republican Party's midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, calling it a \"dividend\" due to the country's \"tremendous strength and success economically\".\n\nThe proposal would be a huge federal outlay, estimated by Reuters to cost about $1 trillion, given that there are roughly 270 million American adults. Trump stated that the money would have to be spent within the United States.\n\nTrump also urged his supporters to \"pretend that I'm on the ballot\" in the upcoming midterm elections, despite his low opinion ratings. The Age reported that Democrats have dismissed the idea as an election stunt that Trump would not honour.",
