Trump promises $5,000 US per person if midterms won

Dallas (ANTARA) - United States President Donald Trump has promised to provide $5,000 (approximately Rp87.56 million) to every adult US citizen if the Republican Party wins the mid-term elections this coming November.

Trump stated that this promise would be realised if the Republican Party can gain control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the US Congress. Trump made this announcement in front of his supporters while attending a Republican campaign event in Texas.

“If the Republican Party wins the United States House of Representatives and the Senate, both of them, then I will give $5,000 to every adult citizen in the United States,” said Trump.

The US mid-term elections are scheduled to take place on 3 November.

Experts have linked this move to declining approval ratings for the Trump administration amidst military actions against Iran and rising domestic prices.

Trump previously acknowledged the possibility of the Republican Party losing control of the House and predicted that the Democratic Party would attempt to impeach him.
