Trump renews pledge of $5,000 checks to Americans
Original: Trump renews $5,000 check pledge
Donald Trump has repeated his promise to send $5,000 checks to American taxpayers, reviving a proposal he floated as a potential 'DOGE dividend' tied to savings from government spending cuts championed by Elon Musk. The pledge had faded from view in recent months, and its renewed prominence has drawn both cheers from supporters and skepticism from economists and critics who question how the payments would be funded and delivered.
