Donald Trump posted a message confirming that he will indeed give $5,000 to every adult in the U.S. if the Republican Party wins the midterm elections, emphasizing that Americans deserve it.
On Monday, 14 Sep 2026 GMT+7, Donald Trump, President of the United States, posted on Truth Social confirming that giving $5,000 to every American adult if the Republicans win the midterm elections "will definitely happen," despite Democrats hoping it will not.
"The $5,000 to be given to every adult in the United States, due to the fact that our country is receiving trillions of dollars from economic development, investment, and genuine success, is being criticized by the 'Dummocrats' (Democrats) who hope it will never happen — but it will definitely happen!"
"The Dummocrats said that the Great Big Beautiful Bill, one of the largest laws ever approved by Congress or signed into law by a president, would never actually happen. They said it was impossible to pass Congress."
"Or the $1,776 gift I gave to our military last year — everyone said it was impossible, that it couldn't be done. But it was accomplished. Our patriotic soldiers received that sum and were very pleased. When I say something, I mean it!"
"Giving $5,000 will definitely happen because the people of our country deserve it. Vote Republican — Make America Great Again! President Donald J. Trump."
Trump's announcement to give money is heavily debated as to whether it constitutes vote-buying under U.S. law. Many analysts see possible ways to do it if viewed similarly to a tax cut promise.
However, this raises the question of where Trump will find the funds, since the U.S. currently has nearly 270 million adults, meaning paying $5,000 each would cost the government about $1.3 trillion.
Furthermore, Congress holds the authority to approve government spending, but the president did not specify how he plans to seek legislative approval. Legal experts say it is unlikely he could authorize such a huge amount through an executive order.
