## Resource

Trump’s “Trump Dividends” plan—offering every adult citizen $5,000 if Republicans retain Congress—could cost a jaw-dropping $1.23 trillion, surpassing Medicare, defense, and national debt interest. With no clear funding strategy beyond vague promises of private investment and waste cuts, the proposal faces stiff GOP resistance, with lawmakers warning it could fund a decade of tax bills for families. Not his first cash-payout idea, this one hits a wall against America’s $40 trillion debt and lacks the fiscal credibility to pass.
