> President Donald Trump has promised to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections. The dubious proposal could cost more than $1 trillion, require congressional approval and deepen the nearly $1.8 trillion annual budget deficit while adding to inflation concerns.
