Trump promises $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms. But he also promised tariff dividends last year that never came.

In a speech at the Republican midterm convention, President Trump pledged $5,000 checks for Americans if his party wins the upcoming elections, aiming to counter voter discontent over rising prices. This move echoes his previous promises of tariff benefits that failed to materialize, raising questions about the reliability of his economic promises. As analysts predict potential Republican losses, Trump's new financial incentives highlight the administration's struggle to deliver on its economic promises amidst voter skepticism and economic challenges.
