Trump gives nonsensical answer when quizzed about delay for his $5,000 ‘dividends’ The White House has offered few details about the plan to send $5,000 checks to Americans after the midterms - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments In a recent interview, President Donald Trump offered a vague answer when asked about the timing of the $5,000 “Trump Dividend” checks he said his administration would send to Americans after the midterms. The Republican, who outlined the plan last night at the GOP’s midterm convention in Texas, spoke with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham about the check plan after his speech. In a preview clip of their interview, which will air on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. Eastern time, Ingraham asked the president why he was promising to send the checks after the midterms if the money was available now. “Because the Democrats can’t do it. Because with them, it’s negative growth. With us, it’s so positive,” Trump said. “So, we’re taking in $21 trillion. No country has ever taken in anywhere near that. It’s four or five times higher than the next one. All because of that beautiful word you and I love more than most others, tariffs.” This is a breaking news story and will be updated with new information.
