PoliticsCan Trump really pay $5,000 to every American adult?

Donald Trump has promised every American adult $5,000 if Republicans win November’s midterm elections. Analysts question whether the proposal is legal, affordable or workable. JD Vance suggested tariff revenue could fund it, but current receipts fall far short of the estimated $1.3tn cost, and Congress would likely need to authorise the spending.
