President Donald Trump on Friday doubled down on plans for a $5,000 dividend to every adult American.
From the nation’s “trillions of dollars of economic development, investment, and pure SUCCESS.”
He had only announced the agenda a day earlier.
Friday, he wrote, “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”
A day earlier, he had announced the dividend.
Saying it was “very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to a shareholders, or like last year when I gave our great members of the military $1776.”
He said his only limit is that it must be spent “in the United States of America.”
Since the U.S. has about 269.7 million adults, the costs would range about $1.35 trillion. Critics charge that the checks could not go out without an OK from Congress, the branch of government that approves spending.
