[Trump: $5,000 per person will definitely happen] Before boarding Air Force One to return to the U.S. in Ireland, Trump reiterated to reporters that his promise to provide every American adult with a "$5,000 Trump dividend" would be fulfilled.
He said: "The $5,000 is going to happen. One hundred percent." (The $5,000 is going to happen. One hundred percent.)
Trump previously announced this payment "vote-buying" plan at his first Republican midterm election rally, linking it directly to the Republicans' effort to maintain control of both the House and Senate.
However, House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that this money-spending plan would require congressional approval.
Trump, however, believes approval isn't necessary— even if the process goes through, he’s confident it will pass.
People initially thought Trump was just talking big, saying things casually without real intent—but now he's gone full commitment with “one hundred percent,” making it firm and decisive.
He claims America is currently absorbing hundreds of billions of dollars in funds, and after being poorly treated under Democrats and Biden’s leadership, Americans "deserve these benefits."
Trump aims to become a "welfare president"—if voters want to receive this money, they must vote Republican. Once Republicans gain control of the House, the purse strings will be in Republican hands, making passage of such measures possible.
If Republicans lose their majority control, then Trump won’t care about breaking his promise.
