Unlike Vučić, who distributes money in advance, the president SAD Donald tramp He offers the Americans a cash gift only when they do what he asks of them - that in the congressional elections on November 3, the so-called in mid-term elections, the majority vote for the Republican Party. In that case, every adult American will receive $5.000 from their president.
Because, Trump explained at the congress of his Republicans in Dallas, it is nothing less than "one of the most important elections in the history of the country."
And on them voters should act "as if his name was on the ballot", because if the former, the Democratic Party, wins, the country will "go through hell".
Trump's dividend
In the event of a Republican victory, Trump promised all adult US citizens $5.000. The whole thing should be called the "Trump Dividend," the president explained.

The payout is tied to just one condition: the money must be spent in the US, because "we don't want you to spend it in Canada, China or Germany."
In 2024, there were about 234,5 million registered voters in the USA. Trump's plan would thus cost about 1,17 trillion dollars. The president did not specify exactly how he plans to finance his venture. Referring to the newly introduced tariffs, he said only that they "can afford it".
Trump wants to change history.
About one-third of the seats in the Senate, as well as the entire House of Representatives, are elected in mid-term elections. It is common for the current president's party to lose seats, Trump said. But he will change that.
At the same time, he repeated the lie about his "stolen" election victory in 2020: he actually won the presidential mandate "three times," Trump said, "and we won everything else."
Republicans and Democrats usually hold their expensive and lavish party conventions just before the presidential election. With this unusual, two-day event in Dallas, Texas, the Trump party is now trying to gain momentum before the midterm elections.
Republicans are defending a narrow majority
Right now, the situation is not looking good for the Republicans. Trump's approval rating is at an all-time low. The war in Iran, which is unpopular in the US, is pushing fuel prices to their highest levels in years.

On November 3, Republicans want to defend their narrow majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate. To secure a majority in the Senate, Democrats would have to wrest four seats from Republicans without losing any of their own.
If Democrats manage to win a majority in at least one of the two chambers, they could block the Trump administration's legislative proposals and put it under scrutiny through investigations in congressional committees.
