President Donald Trump teased a $ 5,000 “Trump dividend” in his speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday night, promising the payout if Republicans maintained control of Congress in the November 2026 elections. 

Trump claimed such a dividend was possible because of the country’s economic success under his leadership. The crowd responded enthusiastically to the proposal, and many of the president’s supporters expressed delight at the prospect of receiving $5,000.
