🛸 CASE FILE #161
Trump Is Doubling Down on the 5,000 Dollar "Trump Dividend."
Trump again promised 5,000 dollars to every U.S. adult citizen if Republicans retain both chambers of Congress, arguing that trillions in tariffs, investment and economic growth make the payout affordable.
But there’s a catch: House Speaker Mike Johnson says the payments would still require congressional approval, and estimates put the total cost above 1 trillion dollars.
Trump says the money is there. Congress still has to unlock it.
