The White House announced a “Trump Dividend” of $5,000 to every adult American citizen, which the release attributes entirely to the strength of the economy under President Trump.

The press release quotes the president himself explaining the payment depends on Republicans winning both chambers of Congress in the midterms, a condition the release repeats twice for emphasis.

No funding mechanism, budget line, or legislative vehicle is described anywhere in the announcement.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

A promise of $5,000 that only pays out if you vote the right way isn't a dividend, it's a raffle ticket with fine print. And notice nobody says where the money comes from. When a man offers you cash on the condition you help him first, keep your hand on your wallet and your eyes on the door.
