川普承諾：共和黨若贏得國會選舉，每位成年公民可獲五千美元

美國總統川普日前在達拉斯共和黨大會上宣布，如果共和黨在今年十一月期中選舉中同時保住參議院與眾議院的控制權，他將推動向每一位美國成年公民發放五千美元，並稱之為「川普紅利」（Trump Dividend）。

川普表示，美國經濟正在創造龐大收入，政府應讓人民直接分享國家繁榮的成果。這筆款項唯一公開提出的條件，是必須在美國境內消費，以刺激零售、旅遊、餐飲、住房及其他產業，帶動國內經濟成長。

然而，這項五千美元計畫目前仍是一項政治承諾，並非已經通過的政府福利或正式法案。若向全美成年公民發放，總支出可能超過一兆美元，必須獲得國會批准，資金來源、申請資格、發放時間及執行方式也尚未公布。

副總統范斯其後表示，高收入人士可能不在發放範圍之內，款項也可能由關稅收入支持，但最終方案仍有待政府與國會進一步提出。

這項「五千美元紅包」無疑將成為十一月期中選舉的重要議題。支持者認為，它可以減輕家庭生活壓力並刺激消費；反對者則擔心計畫將擴大聯邦赤字、增加通貨膨脹。因此，民眾目前不應把這項承諾視為已確定可以領取的支票，更要提防冒用此消息索取個人資料或手續費的詐騙活動。

Trump Promises $5,000 “Dividend” to Every American Adult if Republicans Win Congress

President Donald Trump announced at the Republican convention in Dallas that he would seek to provide a $5,000 payment to every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans retain control of both the House and Senate in the November midterm elections.

Trump called the proposed payment the “Trump Dividend.” He said Americans should share directly in the country’s economic success. According to his announcement, recipients would be required to spend the money inside the United States, helping stimulate retail, travel, restaurants, housing and other domestic industries.

However, the $5,000 payment remains a campaign promise—not an approved government benefit or enacted law. Distributing it to every adult citizen could cost more than $1 trillion and would require congressional approval. The funding source, eligibility requirements, payment schedule and distribution process have not yet been announced.

Vice President JD Vance later suggested that higher-income Americans might not qualify and that tariff revenue could help finance the payments. No final proposal has been released.

The proposed dividend could become a major issue in the November elections. Supporters say it would ease pressure on American families and encourage consumer spending. Critics warn that it could increase the federal deficit and fuel inflation.

Americans should therefore not consider the payment guaranteed—and should beware of scammers requesting personal information or advance fees in connection with the proposed checks.
