Trump $5,000 Midterm Promise
von Kelsey7f: Donald Trump
Trump says it's $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms, and a recession if they don't. Trump (realDonaldTrump) released an official video doubling down on the pledge to every adult US citizen. The promise only pays out if the GOP holds both the House and Senate. The midterms are a couple of months away, and paying every adult would cost well over $1 trillion, which Congress would have to approve. M&M News

Trump coming out with a $5,000 midterm promise. He's kind of been hinting at this here and there, but he put out an official video just the other day, just yesterday, actually. So let's play it. I'm going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America $5,000. Okay, I'm a little afraid of the music, so we'll stop there. That's the idea. $5,000 if the Republicans win. And if not, then not. if not no he said more than that he said if not there'll be a recession oh he did say that it wasn't just you won't get it it's you'll be screwed fascinating which man i'm sure like with the people he's involved with like i'm sure that like they could probably trigger that the one thing that i will say about this yeah true is that like this does give me beliefs in the concept of democracy right in in a capitalistic world that he has to buy it period Exactly All right Well he actually trying So that must mean that there some merit to what going on Yeah. Maybe. That's funny. We'll see. That's pretty soon, right? Yeah. I mean, this month's away, I guess at this point, a couple months, but I won't know what's up. So he did get community notice. Trump previously promised two dividends and never followed through in early 2025, Trump publicly backed a roughly $5,000 Doge dividend, and in November 2025 he promised a $2,000 tariff dividend. Neither of those happened so far. It's so funny, man. Yeah. Just imagine, like, imagine that they do what he says that, and he just doesn't give anyone anything, like, holy crap. But then I guess he would have two years to, like, make it happen. So he was like, wait, you know, wait. True. Stocks, rates, the Fed, and where the money is going are things that we talk about all the time over here. So if you're into that, hit that follow button.
