Economist Peter Schiff criticized President Donald Trump, saying Trump had promised $5,000 to every US adult if Republicans win the midterm elections.

Cointelegraph reported on September 10 that Schiff characterized the proposal as an attempt to win voters' support.

Schiff said Trump had effectively pledged to pay $5,000 to every US adult on the condition that Republicans prevail in the midterms.

He described the cash-payment pledge as an attempt to "buy votes."
