President Trump has proposed a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” for every American citizen if Republicans maintain control of Congress after the midterm elections. He claims that Congress might not need to approve these payments, which he describes as a significant economic boost that must be spent within the U.S. The proposal, announced during a Republican midterm convention in Dallas, follows his endorsement of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Senate race. The legality of such payments without congressional approval is uncertain, as the plan could cost over a trillion dollars. In an interview, Trump emphasized the country’s economic success and investments, suggesting the dividends would be beneficial. He also expressed strong support for Texas and Paxton, highlighting his past electoral successes in the state and his contributions to the oil industry.
