Did Donald Trump promise a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” if Republicans win the 2026 midterms?

Yes. At the Republican Party’s midterm convention in Dallas on September 9, 2026, President Donald Trump proposed paying every U.S. adult citizen a $5,000 “Trump dividend” if Republicans win both the House and the Senate in November’s elections.

He framed the payout as tied to what he called the country’s economic strength, but offered few details on funding or how the checks would work. Reuters reported the idea would likely cost more than $1 trillion and could require congressional approval before any payments could go out.
