  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has promised to give every American adult a $5,000 dividend if Republicans win the midterm elections. According to CNBC World, economists warn that this could lead to inflation, which would strain household finances in the long run.\n\nThe promise was made during a nearly two-hour speech at the Republican National Committee's midterm convention in Dallas, as reported by The Guardian US and The Hill. The Hill notes that this is not Trump's first financial promise.\n\nThe proposal has raised concerns, with The Guardian US describing it as a questionable moment in Trump's speech, while Punch notes that the cost, legality, and potential impact on inflation of this promise are being discussed.",
