Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestylePresident Donald Trump announced a proposal to send $5,000 "Trump Dividend" checks to all American adults after the midterms, making the payout contingent on voters helping Republicans retain their majority in Congress. When asked by Fox News host Laura Ingraham why the funds could not be distributed immediately, Trump offered vague reasoning and cited $21 trillion in revenue from tariffs that he claimed Democrats could not achieve. “Because the Democrats can’t do it. Because with them, it’s negative growth. With us, it’s so positive,” Trump said. “So, we’re taking in $21 trillion. No country has ever taken in anywhere near that. It’s four or five times higher than the next one. All because of that beautiful word you and I love more than most others, tariffs.”The promise follows a pattern of unfulfilled payment proposals previously floated by Trump, including $2,000 checks tied to tariff income and $5,000 checks linked to DOGE cost savings. Following the announcement, Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio pledged to draft legislation to pass the dividend immediately after the election.
