President Trump just announced a key condition for the proposed $5,000 'Trump Dividend' checks: recipients must spend the money in the United States. The payment would be contingent on Republicans maintaining control of both the House and Senate.

The announcement has sparked immediate debate over eligibility criteria, with some commentators arguing the checks should be restricted to natural-born citizens or net taxpayers, excluding recent asylum seekers and welfare recipients from the past decade.

The proposal's feasibility and timeline remain unclear.
