Trump proposes $1.3T 'dividend' for adults if GOP wins midterms

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Former President Trump has proposed a $1.3 trillion plan to give every adult American $5,000 if Republicans secure victories in the upcoming midterm elections. This initiative, dubbed the "Trump dividend," would reportedly be funded by the U.S. Treasury, which is already grappling with significant deficits and substantial interest payments on its national debt. The plan's feasibility and funding mechanism, whether through upfront allocation or further borrowing, remain unclear, despite the Treasury's current monthly interest outlays exceeding $95 billion.
