President Donald Trump on Saturday reiterated his pledge to give every adult U.S. citizen $5,000 if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress in next month's midterm elections, while warning of an economic "disaster" if Democrats win.

>> Americans voted for Trump to solve our DOMESTIC problems — immigration, crime, jobs, DEI, free speech, inflation, the deficit — not to fix the world.
Everything Trump is doing concerns America first, the World a close second. It’s not possible to ignore the World that America trades with but also defends against.
A neutered Muslim Brotherhood is exceedingly beneficial to the U.S. and the World — not a scenario the Globalists are happy about — the same Globalists responsible for the domestic issues you identified.
To help move things along, the only related task for the rest of us is to ensure we keep Congress with the new and improved, however marginal, GOP reps.
a promised dividend is not a bribe — it’s a fundamental aspect of economic growth and surplus.
