Donald Trump floated the idea of a $5,000 check for most Americans this week as the nation heads towards a pivotal midterm vote.
“$5,000 for the peasants will be in the mail after the election only if you vote Republican, along with those DOGE and tariff money checks,” former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) wrote in a post on X.
“We’re taking in an extraordinary amount of revenue because the president of the United States is actually standing up to both foreign companies but also foreign countries who have been taking advantage of America’s workers for pretty much my entire life,” Vice President JD Vance said.
“I don’t think it’s a controversial idea. It’s actually the president of the United States saying we’re all working together. We’re all on the same team, and if we continue to create wealth, that wealth is going to go back to the American people,” he added.
“You’re not going to outbid Democrat socialists in the midterm election,” he said. “It’s one more step down the populist lane of what can we promise the American people to win their vote.”
