Donald Trump's recent pledge to issue a $5,000 dividend to every adult American has triggered a significant negative reaction in the bond market. This proposal, intended as a voter bribe, is projected to cost taxpayers approximately $8,000 per person due to the need for issuing new debt at high interest rates. The bond market's revolt, marked by rising yields on 30-year and 10-year bonds, signals a perception of excessive and reckless spending plans by Trump, reminiscent of past economic challenges faced by administrations like Bill Clinton's.
