Trump Floats $5,000 ‘Trump Dividend’ Checks if Republicans Win the Midterms (Gift Article)
In his convention speech, the president floated a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” for every adult American if Republicans keep control of Congress. The idea, like many others, may not come to pass.

Bribery, the corrupt use of public funds for private benefit, is so obvious here... but NYT struggles to observe what is right under their nose. It's a sign of the times. And another indicator of the US transition from democracy into kleptocracy.
This seems like a plan - bribe every single citizen to vote for you for a non-existent cheque that'll never be in the mail! So original. 🙄 “If the Rs win the House & the US Senate, both of them,” Trump said, “I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the US for $5,000.” #Blues #SheShed
Trump, at historic lows, is promising a $5k dividend if the GOP keeps Congress. $1.2 Trillion. It's an empty bribe and a quest to buy our silence. How much $ to look away from a party trying to stop our vote while many of us can't afford rent, health care, or gas?
This is the sign of a very desperate politician. Use your SuperPAC slush fund to bribe people. The same way they paid people to paper the house/arena last night for his infomercial. 😆 www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/u...
