The proposal, announced during Trump's speech at the GOP midterm convention, could cost over $1.2 trillion and benefit roughly 245 million US citizen adults
- DALLAS — Conservative fiscal hawks greeted President Trump’s proposed $5,000 payout to Americans if Republicans hold the House and Senate in November with a frosty reception, even as some were reluctant to say so publicly.
- During his barn-busting speech at the GOP midterm convention, Trump claimed that America’s “tremendous economic success” made the proposal possible for roughly 245 million US citizen adults, which could cost more than $1.2 trillion.
- Ironically, Trump’s proposal came after he spent much of his speech bashing Democrats as “communists” and warning they would wreak havoc on the economy.
Key Takeaways
- Trump's proposal blindsided Congress
- Fiscal conservatives are opposed to the idea
- The proposal is contingent on Republicans holding the House and Senate in November
