Trump stuns Americans with $5k payout promise if Republicans win the midterms

Donald Trump has stunned voters by promising a $US5,000 payout to every adult American if Republicans sweep the midterms. The president unveiled the explosive pledge while headlining the GOP’s first-ever midterm convention in Dallas. Trump urged supporters to “pretend that I’m on the ballot” and said Republicans must win both chambers to “finish the job.” He likened the proposed payout to a company distributing cash to its shareholders after delivering strong economic results. The staggering promise could face resistance from fiscal conservatives, particularly after previous battles over federal stimulus payments.
