President Donald Trump has repeated his campaign promise to give every American adult a $5,000 dividend if Republicans retain control of Congress in the November midterm elections. BeInCrypto, LiveNOW from FOX, and tag24.com all reported that Trump doubled down on the proposed payout ahead of the upcoming votes. [1][5][6]

The pledge would require approval from Congress and would likely cost more than $1 trillion, adding significantly to the national deficit, according to Fortune. The proposal follows other recent payment pledges made by the president. As FTMQ News reported earlier, Trump recently announced $90 payments for more than 20 million Medicare recipients and previously touted $500 rebate checks for Affordable Care Act premiums. [2][10]

Media outlets are analyzing the potential economic impact of the proposal. BeInCrypto and Yahoo Finance reported that past stimulus-style payments have historically benefited cryptocurrency markets and boosted the price of Bitcoin. [1][3]

Donald Trump took office for his second term after winning the 2024 United States presidential election on the Republican ticket alongside JD Vance. [8]
