The Post Millennial reported that former President Donald Trump told attendees at a Republican National Committee event in Dallas that he would issue a $5,000 “dividend” to every adult American citizen—if Republicans win both the House and Senate in the midterm elections.
The reported pledge and its condition
According to The Post Millennial, Trump said, “I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.” The outlet reported the pledge was explicitly tied to Republicans capturing both chambers of Congress in the upcoming 2026 midterms.
How he said it would be funded
The Post Millennial reported that Trump described the payments as a “dividend,” not a stimulus check, and said they would be funded by tariff revenue.
Campaign push ahead of the midterms
The outlet also reported that Trump pledged to personally campaign for GOP congressional candidates across the country, telling the Dallas crowd he would hold large rallies. The Post Millennial quoted him as saying he would travel to states for “congressmen and for senators” and hold “big arenas loaded up with people.”
Additional policy priorities cited
Beyond the one-time payment, The Post Millennial reported that Trump outlined goals including making tax cuts permanent, reducing credit card swipe fees, cementing prescription drug reforms, and pursuing a measure referred to as the “No Invasions Act.”
