President of the United States Donald Trump promised to give five thousand dollars to each adult if the Republican Party wins the midterm elections. This is a promise made during a political rally.
Trump compared this payment to the dividend distributions that companies make to their shareholders. The president supported this promise on the "enormous strength and economic success" of the country.
The promise comes in the context of the midterm elections, which are the mid-term elections in the United States. In these elections, members of Congress are elected, including all seats in the House of Representatives and one third of the Senate.
