During a lengthy address at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, President Donald Trump issued a pledge to provide $5,000 to every adult citizen in the United States should Republicans maintain control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the upcoming November elections.
The proposal, which economists estimate would exceed $1 trillion in cost, immediately triggered concerns regarding ethical implications. The offer highlights the significant unease within the Republican Party about their chances in the critical midterm contests.
Throughout the marathon speech, Trump launched attacks on Democrats, labeling them as “radical,” while simultaneously defending his military actions in Iran. He encouraged voters to “pretend that I’m on the ballot,” despite the president remaining deeply unpopular among the electorate.
