The Alarming Promise of America's Cash Handout The recent promise by Donald Trump to distribute $5,000 in what he calls a "Trump dividend" to every US citizen has sent shockwaves through the country, raising alarms about bribery and fiscal recklessness.
This is not an isolated incident; rather, it marks the latest iteration of Trump's populist playbook, where he attempts to buy votes with taxpayer funded giveaways.
The sheer scale of Trump's promise is staggering, amounting to an estimated $1. 2 trillion, or roughly half of our federal government's annual revenue.
