TJ Walker breaks down Trump's pledge to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans control Congress. The plan would cost roughly $1.2 trillion plus interest and requires congressional approval. Walker questions whether it's a bribe, noting it's legislated rather than tied to individual votes, but calls it ethically dubious.

President Trump himself promised that if Republicans retain the House and Senate, the federal government will send $5,000 to every American adult. Sounds like a bribe. The socialists have infiltrated the Republican convention, my friends. Apparently, they entered through the VIP entrance. Trump's proposal would require congressional approval and could cost approximately $1.2 trillion plus additional interest. Trump's exact pitch was, if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. That's not legally the same as purchasing an individual vote because the payment would require legislation and would not depend on proving how someone voted. I guess. Still sounds like a bribe to me. But you can understand why critics heard the sentence and started looking for the tiny print that says, void where democracy is prohibited.
