Trump's $5,000 promise: If we win, it will be in everyone's pocket

U.S. President Donald Trump delivered messages to Republican voters at a rally held in Mobile, Alabama, before the 2026 midterm elections. In his speech, Trump made various assessments on the economy and election results, while bringing the previously announced $5,000 payment promise back into the conversation.

"Five Thousand Dollars for Every Adult Citizen"

Trump said that if Republicans maintain a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, $5,000 would be paid to every adult citizen in the United States.

The payment in question"Trump dividend"Trump, who labeled it a "Trump dividend", argued that the source would largely be covered by revenue from tariffs. It is estimated that the total cost of the proposal Trump also put forward in September could be about $1.2 trillion.

Trump also reiterated that the payment must be spent within the United States.

He made a 1929 comparison.

In his speech, Trump, who also touched on the economic consequences of the elections, argued that if the Democrats take control of Congress, the United States would face a severe economic crisis.

Trump maintained that if the Democrats win, an economic crisis similar to that of 1929 could occur, while if the Republicans win, the U.S. economy would achieve unprecedented success. These remarks appeared in his rally speech as his own assessment.

During his speech in Alabama, Trump called for support for Republican candidates while also urging voters to go to the polls.
