Ingraham Questions Trump’s Timing for Proposed $5,000 Payments
Ingraham pressed Trump on the feasibility and legality of his proposed $5,000 election dividend, which critics said could cost as much as $1.3 trillion.
- On Thursday, Ingraham questioned Trump about his promise to send $5,000 checks to every adult American citizen if Republicans retain control of both the Senate and the House.
- The proposed dividend could cost $1.3 trillion and would likely raise inflation levels even higher if Congress approved the plan, creating significant fiscal hurdles.
- Trump claimed tariffs could generate $21 trillion in revenue, though critics point out the national deficit has reached $40 trillion, questioning the proposal's fiscal foundation.

- Observers report that a lot of things have to happen for the dividend to pass, as Trump is pitching the $5,000 primarily to blame Democrats if it fails.

When Ingraham brought up his $5K dividend payoff, she mentioned the $40 trillion deficit and asked why he doesn't give the money now. If he did that now, it would undermine his bribery scheme.
