Donald Trump pledged Wednesday to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections, an extraordinary gambit to reverse his party’s sagging fortunes in November.
The dubious promise would likely cost more than $1 trillion and require congressional approval, and would further exacerbate the country’s nearly $1.8 trillion annual budget deficit and concerns about inflation.



I’d love for that to happen, but realistically, any blanket term the public should want that you campaign with could be construed as bribery.
“Vote for our party and if we win, we’re going to get universal healthcare and medicine and do away with medical insurance filth”
See. Now the public is being bribed with a functioning government that works for its citizens.
