KEY POINTS
- Donald Trump promised 5000 dollars to every American for a midterm victory.
- The midterm elections are scheduled for November 3 for the House and Senate.
- The total cost could exceed 1330 billion dollars, representing nearly a quarter of the national budget.

US President Donald Trump announced that he will offer 5000 dollars to every American in the event of a victory in the midterm elections scheduled for November 3. He made this promise during a speech at a Republican midterms convention held on Wednesday.
Trump faces sharp criticisms in the United States two years after returning to the White House. The convention failed to fill the venue, which bodes poorly for the MAGA camp as midterm elections traditionally function as a sanction vote against the ruling party.
“An unprecedented initiative resembling an open civic corruption pact.”
Journalist Piotr Smolar analyzed the promise as an unprecedented initiative resembling an open civic corruption pact. Trump did not explain how he intends to finance the proposal.
The total cost of such a measure could exceed 1330 billion dollars, which equals nearly a quarter of the national budget according to France Info. Furthermore, the measure would require approval from Congress.
