  "summary": "Donald Trump has proposed giving every U.S. adult a $5,000 dividend if Republicans maintain their majorities in the House and Senate. In an interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Trump was asked why the money couldn't be given now, but he defended the timing of his proposal.\n\nThe proposal was made during a nearly two-hour speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas. According to The Guardian US, the speech was seen as a desperate last pitch to voters. Trump's promise of $5,000 for US citizens after midterms was decried as ‘bribery’ by some.\n\nThe cost, legality, and potential impact on inflation of this promise were not detailed in the reports. Trump did not provide further explanation for the timing of his proposal beyond what was reported in the interview with Laura Ingraham, as per The Hill.",
