Trump guarantees he will "fulfill" promise to give $5,000 to each American voter

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 02:02

Donald Trump said this Friday that he will "fulfill" the promise to grant a $5,000 dividend (4,300 euros) to every adult citizen of the country if the Republicans win the midterm elections on November 3. The announcement was made at a rally held in Pennsylvania, one of the states considered decisive for the outcome of the American legislative elections. Trump thus reiterated a commitment he had already made during the campaign, directly linking the payment to the electoral success of the Republican Party. The promise comes at a crucial stage of the race for the midterms, when there are only a few days left until voting and both political formations are intensifying efforts to mobilize voters.

Shorts and ironies

The book "Struggles against the dictatorship from Democratic Portugal – transatlantic connections", by Edgar Silva and Élvio Passos, was presented in Funchal. The book is dedicated to the role of resistance journalism against Salazarist censorship. The article highlights the irony of celebrating this memory in a context where free and independent press in Madeira finds itself progressively limited by dependence on regional subsidies, the pressure of concrete, and domesticated editorial lines. The piece warns that although journalism no longer formally faces dictatorships, it encounters new, subtle mechanisms of conditioning, where scrutiny gives way to propaganda and investigative journalism is replaced by government press releases.
