Trump stands firm on $5,000 dividend promise in ad

President Donald Trump is re-upping his controversial promise to send a $5,000 dividend check to all U.S. citizens if Republicans maintain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

“I’m going to give all adult citizens of the United States of America $5,000,” Trump said in an ad he posted on X. “Democrat policies won’t allow this to happen. In fact, the opposite. They’re going to raise your taxes. If the Democrats win, you will have an economic depression. If the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in your pocket, and economic success for our country like we have never ever seen before.”
