Trump says every adult American would get $5,000 if Republicans win midterms

On Wednesday, the US president warned his supporters that the war would not end until after the midterms and that oil prices would not come down until then.He made the comments ahead of his speech in Texas, repeating it at the convention where he argued that short-term economic pain was worth it to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.Trump's long speech at the Republican convention in Dallas, Texas, touched at the core of the conflict - the impact on the Americans' standard of living and his pledge to increase their spending power drew raucous applause in the hall."If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them," Trump said, "I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.""We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money," he said. "We don't want you going to China, to Germany. You got to spend the money in the United States of America." It is not clear how the spending would be monitored.It is not the first time that Trump promised such payouts - he has previously proposed $2,000 cheques to be funded by tariff revenues.
