## Resource

Trump’s proposed $5,000 “Trump dividend” for every adult American—conditional on Republicans keeping Congress—could cost a staggering $1.2 trillion, according to experts, risking inflation and ballooning the deficit. While Trump touts it as U.S.-focused wealth sharing, funding via tariffs (as suggested by VP Vance) would cover just 10% of the cost. This isn’t his first shot at direct payments—he’s promised similar dividends before, with mixed results. Economists warn massive borrowing could worsen economic woes, leaving the plan more fantasy than fiscal reality.
