    President Donald Trump has promised a $5,000 payment to every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress in the November midterm elections, a proposal that could cost the federal government about $1.3 trillion.

    Just to be clear, the $1.3 trillion won’t come from the payouts, as they obviously won’t actually happen. It’ll come from Congress being run by Republicans.
