At a time when the US congressional midterm elections are under pressure, US President Trump said on the evening of the 9th that if the Republican Party wins the election, 5,000 US dollars will be distributed to every American adult. Both the US Democrats and the US media questioned this “promise.” According to US media reports, Trump promised at the Republican Party fundraising rally held in Dallas, Texas on the evening of the 9th that if the Republican Party maintains control of both houses of Congress, it will pay a “dividend” of 5,000 US dollars to every American adult. Trump hinted that the money could be provided by his administration's tariffs on foreign goods. According to CBS estimates that the US has about 240 million adult citizens, Trump's plan will cost about 1.2 trillion US dollars. The report quoted Ken Martin, chairman of the US Democratic National Committee, as saying that any economic stimulus plan risks causing inflation to soar. The Associated Press analyzed that Trump's promise may be “difficult to implement at both the financial and political levels.”
