According to CoinMeta, Trump promised that if the Republicans win control of Congress in the midterms in November, they would distribute a "Trump dividend" of $5,000 to every adult American. This proposal was announced at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, where Trump stated that recipients must spend this money within the United States. According to estimates by Reuters, the plan could cost about $1.35 trillion, raising significant questions about the source of funds and whether Trump will be able to fulfill his promise. Vice President JD Pence said that tariff revenues could help fund the plan, but this figure is still difficult to reconcile. Trump had previously proposed a smaller tariff dividend of $2,000 in 2025. The proposal comes against the backdrop of the U.S. federal debt exceeding $40 trillion, and although the Republicans may win Congress, finding the funds could be even more challenging.
