Donald Trump $5,000 Dividend Promise Could Face Legal Challenges
The “Trump dividend,” the president said, would be issued if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress. His administration previously talked about sending out $2,000 tariff refunds as well as a “DOGE Dividend.”Representative Dan Goldman, a New York Democrat, cast doubt that Trump would be able to pass such a dividend in a post on X.“Actually, only Congress can make that promise since it must appropriate those funds. And Congress would never do it because it is corrupt and blatantly illegal.
