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

Correio da Manhã12 September 2026 at 07:15

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, reiterated the promise to assign $5,000 to each American voter, stating he will "fulfill" that measure. This promise comes in the context of the electoral race and intense political dispute in the country.

Trump also criticized the Democratic Party for trying to debunk his promise. The President considered the Democratic attempts to debunk the promise as a form of political combat.

The $5,000 per voter promise represents a financially impactful measure, if it is implemented. However, no details were provided on how it would be funded or when it would be implemented.

The article does not specify when or where Trump made these statements, limiting itself to conveying the promise and the President's reaction to Democratic criticism.

Why this matters

This promise of direct payments to voters, if fulfilled, would affect millions of Americans and represents one of the most ambitious proposals of the Trump administration. The accusation against the Democratic Party of spreading disinformation on the subject illustrates the growing political polarization in the United States, at a time when the economy and cost of living continue to be central issues for voters.

Let Democracy Beware | By Miguel Freitas

The new 2025 V-Dem Report confirms that democracy is in regression in 44 countries, including Western democracies such as the USA, Italy, and the United Kingdom. The article argues that populism has transformed complex issues into tests of identity belonging, using social networks to simplify debates and control the narrative. Culture has become a frontier that separates people, and moderate parties risk paving the way to illiberalism by adopting tougher positions to avoid appearing soft. The author warns that illiberal political forces do not only want to win elections but to redefine the boundaries of what can be said and institutionalized, and that democracy rarely disappears abruptly — it begins by seeming merely less necessary.
