Donald Trump made a promise, which is if Republicans keep the House and Senate, Trump will issue a dividend to every Every adult in the United States Of five thousand dollars per person.
That Only I can make this promise to you, and here is my promise. If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them. Because of our economic Tremendous economic success, like in in history we've never had anything like what's happening. But because of our tremendous strength and success economically I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.
So it's like everybody gets a pony, kind of thing.
Yeah. So that would cost about one point three trillion dollars. Trump doesn't really say where the money would come from. He just goes like we're making so much money, you know, tariffs and all this stuff. Now, this is a promise that top Donald Trump can safely make because they're not gonna take the house. They're gonna lose the house.
How does Donald Trump justify the $5,000 dividend promise to adults?
But remember the entire, oh, Democrats are trying to buy buy votes. They're trying to but can buy votes. Votes for people. They sent JD Vance out there to explain how is this thing supposed to work anyway? Uh, and Brett Bayer on Fox News immediately identifies the problem. It's like one point three trillion dollars. How does JD defend it? Well, let's see him try.
But if the Republicans win the house, five thousand dollars for every adult citizen. So you do the quick math, that's about one point three trillion dollars. I can hear the critics' heads exploding. They're saying out loud, I guarantee you. President is bribing voters to vote for Republicans to take over the House.
True.
And then he's bankrupting the country because the deficit in debt is huge and inflation would come back if this comes into play. So how do you answer those criticisms?
Well, I say first of all, what the president's talking about is fundamentally a dividend for American workers. We're taking in an extraordinary amount of revenue because the President of the United States is actually standing up to both foreign companies.
Remember that we're not taking in revenue from tariffs. It's being paid by by American businesses. We're not we're not taking it in, we're collecting it from Americans.
But also foreign countries who've been taking advantage of America's workers for pretty much my entire life. What the president's just saying is if you keep it going to the American people, if you keep us in power and allow us to continue to do these things, then you're gonna share in some of the benefit of this incredible wealth that that we're we're creating in the United States of America. I I don't think it's a controversial idea. It's actually the president of the United States saying we're all working together.
Yeah. Imagine if a Democrat proposed that. No, no, no, it's not a controversial idea. Laura Ingram asks him an incredibly simple question. You're promising everyone five grand if Republicans win the midterms. Well, if we already have the money, if we took in all of this record money from tariffs and all of this stuff and Republicans control Congress, why wait until after the election? Listen to Donald Trump's answer and see if you can decipher what on earth he is talking about, or is this a medical event where he is losing control of his mental and oral faculties?
Why not just give the money now? If you have the money, why not give it to you?
So we're taking in twenty one trillion dollars. Nobody no country's ever taken in anywhere near that. It's four, five tr
What? Why can't you give people five grand now? Because the Democrats can't do it, he says.
Why do critics say the $5,000 checks would cost about $1.3 trillion?
Because with them, it's negative growth and we're taking in twenty one trillion dollars because of tariffs.
