Trump:
I am pleased to announce that my Administration will, immediately, begin sending “Checks” of nearly $100 to over 20 MILLION wonderful Seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premiums, which we have already reduced by significant amounts.
This money will come from the Medicare Improvement Fund, a pointless “Slush Fund” that has only been used by Dumocrats in Congress to pay for the Waste, Fraud, and Abuse for their Special Interest friends, and drive up Healthcare costs.
Because I delivered on this very important issue for the American People, they can also rest assured the highly popular $5,000 Trump Dividend will be distributed to every U.S. Citizen if, and when, the Republicans win the Midterm Elections!

Trump doubles down on the $5K checks to Americans:
"If the Republicans win the House and the Senate, then I will give $5K to every adult in America. Let's call it the Trump Dividend."
I did some basic math on this.
Let's assume they will apply an income limit threshold because there is no way they are going to give $5K to the richest American adults even if they are saying every adult.
So they income limit I'm using is the same one for the first round of stimulus checks in 2020.
A hypothetical $5,000 payment to every eligible U.S. adult would provide the full $5,000 to single filers earning up to $75,000, married couples earning up to $150,000, and heads of household earning up to $112,500, with payments gradually phasing out and reaching zero at roughly $99,000 for singles, $198,000 for married couples, and $136,500 for heads of household.
This gets us to around 200 million full-payment-equivalent adults to qualify after accounting for the phaseout, which means the program would cost approximately $1 trillion, with a reasonable rough range of $900 billion to $1.1 trillion, depending on the exact number of eligible adults and how dependents are treated.
So even with a pretty aggressive income limit threshold, you get to $1T of money being given out to people, which might be a bit inflationary and make the Fed's job a little harder when it comes to tackling inflation.
On the other hand, this might all just be marketing and it's not going to happen or it does happen through some tax refund, but given the number of people that would qualify, it would still be pumping hundreds of billions into the economy with oil already high, yields already high, and rates continuing to go up.

Trump on truth social
The $5,000 Trump Dividend, given to all Adults in the United States due to the fact that our Country is taking in Trillions of Dollars of Economic Development, Investment, and Pure SUCCESS, is being criticized by “Dumocrats” who are hoping that it never happens — But it will! As an example, the Dumocrats said THE GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL, one of the largest ever approved by Congress, or signed into Law by a President happened, despite the Dumocrats saying it would be impossible to get approved — Or the Gift of $1776 that I gave last year to our Military, was an almost guaranteed Non Starter, everyone said it could not be done, but it was, our Military Patriots got the money, and loved it. When I say something, I mean it! The $5,000 Dividend will happen because the People of our Country deserve it. VOTE REPUBLICAN — MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Could Trump's proposed $5,000 dividend actually become a reality?
Trump is doubling down on his proposal to send every adult U.S. citizen a $5,000 "Trump dividend," saying tariff revenue could pay for it if Republicans keep the House and Senate after November.
But the plan faces major hurdles. It would need congressional approval, and lawmakers and economists are already questioning whether tariff revenue could cover the roughly $1.2 trillion cost. Some Republicans are backing the idea and drafting legislation, while others warn it could add to the debt and fuel inflation.
Here's where it stands and whether it could actually happen.
