President Donald Trump gestures as he departs the Republican convention.
We have now over $20 trillion worth of manufacturing plants and other investments being made in the United States, which is far greater than ever before,” Trump said. Trump had earlier pledged during a keynote address at a convention in Dallas to pay every adult American $5,000 if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress after the November midterm elections. Because we have to win, “I’m just asking the people, all you people that are listening, pretend I’m running.
US President Donald Trump on Thursday said his administration would not require congressional approval to implement his proposed “Trump Dividend”, under which every American citizen could receive $5,000 after the midterm elections. In an interview with CBS News, Trump called the proposed payments as “a great infusion” and said the money would have to be spent in the US rather than other countries. “Now, this time I’m not running, so it’s a big difference when you’re running and not running,” he said. Trump said Republican victories were needed to preserve the country’s current direction. “This is very, very important,” he said. “We can’t let this, we have the hottest country anywhere in the world, and we can’t let it go.”
“I think they will do it if we needed it. But we think not. The country is doing so well, we’ve taken in trillions of dollars in tariffs and other things.
