Donald Trump has doubled down – again – on his pledge to give a "Trump dividend" of $5,000 to every US citizen if Republicans win November's midterm elections. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing The Guardian.

The promise has sparked incredulity and accusations of bribery, with a huge question mark still hanging over its legality - not to mention it comes at a time of extreme concern over the national debt, which exceeded $40tn for the first time last month.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: "When I say something, I mean it! The $5,000 Dividend will happen because the People of our Country deserve it."

He continued in his post: "The $5,000 Trump Dividend, given to all Adults in the United States due to the fact that our Country is taking in Trillions of Dollars of Economic Development, Investment, and Pure SUCCESS, is being criticized by 'Dumocrats' who are hoping that it never happens — But it will! As an example, the Dumocrats said THE GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL, one of the largest ever approved by Congress, or signed into Law by a President happened, despite the Dumocrats saying it would be impossible to get approved — Or the Gift of $1776 that I gave last year to our Military, was an almost guaranteed Non Starter, everyone said it could not be done, but it was, our Military Patriots got the money, and loved it. When I say something, I mean it! The $5,000 Dividend will happen because the People of our Country deserve it. VOTE REPUBLICAN — MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP".

Speaking to Politico yesterday, Chip Roy, the Republican US representative from Texas, openly questioned how the government would pay for it. "Well – I would like to know how they would plan to pay for … back of envelope … well over $1tn," he said.

Former representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch Trump ally turned critic, said on X: "$5,000 for the peasants will be in the mail after the election only if you vote Republican, along with those DOGE and tariff money checks."

Trump's promise comes amid growing concern over the US financial situation. The national debt exceeded $40tn for the first time last month, marking a historic milestone.

Additionally, Trump himself mentioned the "GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL," which is described as one of the largest bills ever approved by Congress. He also recalled the $1776 gift given to military personnel last year.

However, some members of his own party question the financial viability of this promise. Chip Roy's words show that there are disagreements among Republicans regarding this initiative.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's criticism also indicates that criticism is growing among former Trump allies. In her post on X, she mentioned "DOGE and tariff money checks," openly pointing to the connection between these payments and the election.

Trump's promise is becoming one of the main themes of the election campaign. He continues to support Republicans and calls on voters to vote for his party.

However, questions about the legality and financial feasibility of this payment remain unanswered. With the national debt exceeding $40tn, it is unclear how such payments would be financed.

In his Truth Social post, Trump stated that this payment would be made from "economic development, investment, and pure success," but did not specify concrete financial mechanisms.

Republicans are trying to retain control of Congress in November's midterm elections. Trump's promise could play an important role in this election battle.

Nevertheless, doubts and criticism within the party could hinder the implementation of this initiative. Statements by Chip Roy and Marjorie Taylor Greene indicate a weakening of unity among Republicans.

Trump's promise of a "Trump dividend" is sparking heated debate among voters. Some consider it an election ploy, while others view it as a real possibility.

Regardless, this issue remains at the center of the US political agenda. As the election approaches, Trump's promise and the debates surrounding it are likely to intensify further.
