Dallas, U.S., September 10 (ANI): As the race to the midterm elections picks up pace, President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he would issue every adult citizen in the United States a $5,000 dividend if Republicans secure victory in November.
He made the remarks during the 2026 Republican Convention while delivering its keynote address.
Trump said in his remarks that the U.S. economy has grown by leaps and bounds under his administration.
He announced the $5,000 payout, claiming that the U.S. is “making so much money.”
“Because we have done so well and because our country is making so much money, only I can make this promise to you. Here is my promise: If Republicans win both the House and the Senate, because of our tremendous economic success and strength, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States for $5,000,” the U.S. president said.
The recent announcement joins the list of payout measures that Trump has announced during his second term.
In July, the president launched “Trump Accounts,” under which every American child born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, will receive an initial $1,000 deposit from the government, with the potential for parents to contribute up to an additional $5,000 per year initially.
In 2025, Trump announced $1,776 as a “Warrior Dividend,” a one-time, tax-free bonus that was paid to 1.45 million U.S. military service members.
CNN reported that while the president did not detail how the government would cover the enormous cost of a $5,000 dividend payment to an estimated 270 million adults in the nation, he also did not offer specific details on how the payments would be distributed.
The American broadcaster said that when Trump previously proposed $2,000 tariff rebate checks for most Americans, his Treasury secretary noted, “We need legislation for that.”
The president’s promise comes as Trump rapidly scales up efforts to gain public support amid a dip in his popularity in recent polls, the Iran conflict, which has dragged on for more than seven months, and the impact of high living costs and oil prices being felt across the country. (ANI)
