Proposed $5,000 'Trump Dividend' Would Cost $1.35T, Exceeding Half of U.S. Annual Deficit

A proposal to distribute $5,000 to every U.S. adult would cost approximately $1.35 trillion, exceeding half of the annual fiscal deficit and adding to a public debt already over $40 trillion. The plan, attributed to Trump, is a fiscal expansion that would likely increase the deficit and debt burden, though its legislative prospects and economic impact remain uncertain.
