Trump just announced immediate $100 checks going to 20+ million seniors to offset Medicare Part B premiums.
Also floated a "$5,000 Trump Dividend" for every US citizen if Republicans win the midterms.
Market's already pricing this in—watch consumer discretionary and retail stocks. More cash in pockets = more spending power. If this actually rolls out, it's a short-term boost to GDP and probably adds fuel to inflation concerns.
Fiscal stimulus right before midterms isn't new, but the scale here is notable. Bond yields could tick up on deficit worries. Keep an eye on how the Fed responds if this pumps more liquidity into the system.
Politics aside, this is a macro catalyst worth tracking.
