## Resource

Trump’s bold “Trump Dividend” plan—offering every adult American $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress—is sparking political and economic firestorms. While Trump insists it’s 100% happening, House Speaker Mike Johnson confirms it needs congressional approval, though he vows to work with the President. The trillion-dollar proposal faces fierce criticism from economists worried about inflation and budget strain, especially as interest rates climb and consumer confidence wanes. Trump counters that the economy can handle it, even as polls show declining approval for his economic stewardship—and without a clear timeline on gas prices or global energy conflicts. This high-stakes gambit is now a central campaign issue as November looms. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
