Trump has revived a proposal to give every adult U.S. citizen a $5,000 check if Republicans hold Congress, but no bill, funding plan or payment date exists, according to BeInCrypto, and the White House has not set eligibility rules. The payout could cost $1 trillion to $1.7 trillion, while Trump has pointed to tariff revenue even as court rulings and refunds have reduced that source. Benjamin Cowen said the checks would ultimately be paid for through future taxes, inflation or both.
