华盛顿9月10日电（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普承诺，如果其所在政党在11月中期选举中控制国会，将向美国成年人发放5000美元“分红”支票。该计划周四遭到部分共和党议员的冷淡回应，多名议员表示，这将推高通胀并加剧美国财政稳定性问题。
特朗普周三在达拉斯举行的共和党中期选举大会上对选民表示，他将发放此类刺激支票，以庆祝“我们在经济上取得的巨大实力和成功”。该提案若获国会批准，成本将约为1.2万亿美元，外加数千亿美元的利息支出。

部分共和党议员警告称，在经济已经过热的情况下注入巨额现金，可能会加剧通胀，而此时选民正对高生活成本感到担忧。
“我个人将全心全意阻止该计划，因为它对工薪阶层造成的伤害将远超其带来的帮助，”即将于任期结束时离开国会的亚利桑那州共和党众议员戴维·施韦克特周三对路透社表示。
“这将继续推高利率，”他补充道，“这将用美国的信用卡买单，更快地将美国拖入利率死亡螺旋。”
部分共和党议员支持该计划
不过，也有多名共和党议员迅速表态支持该提案，因为他们希望在竞选最后阶段提振选民热情。俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺在社交媒体上写道，他将在11月3日选举后起草立法，将“特朗普分红”正式化。
这场辩论的背景是数十年来累积的财政危机。各政治派别的经济学家都警告称，华盛顿的巨额借贷——将国债推至二战以来的最高水平——已将美国置于不可持续的财政轨道上。
特朗普此前也曾承诺过其他“分红”计划，包括来自关税收入的拨款以及他提出的精简政府部门计划，但均未付诸实施。
2025年12月，特朗普曾向美军服役人员发放过款项，称其为“战士分红”。但这笔1776美元的款项是从军事住房补贴中挪用的，并非特朗普此前所称的圣诞奖金。
“永远不知道特朗普这番话只是随口一说，还是认真的，”定期为特朗普和白宫官员提供咨询的保守派经济学家斯蒂芬·穆尔说道。
白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔在一份声明中表示，“悲观论者和反对者一直都在质疑特朗普总统”，而特朗普此前总能证明他们错了。
“在美国民众的持续支持下，特朗普总统将继续为民众带来实实在在的成果，”英格尔说道。
特朗普周三告诉选民，应将中期选举视为对其总统任期的全民公投，并指示他们“假装我也在参选名单上”。
但路透社/益普索最近的民调显示，选民已对特朗普的议程失去好感。特朗普的支持率为33%。大多数美国人反对他对加拿大商品实施的新关税，且在生活成本问题上，选民以8个百分点的优势支持民主党而非共和党。
参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩曾多次公开与特朗普意见相左，他表示，目前尚不清楚这些支票能否获得击败参议院阻挠议事所需的60票，但他认为，共和党在考虑进一步减税的同时，有望保住两院的控制权。
“到时我们再过桥，”他对福克斯新闻说道。
“他希望美国民众口袋里有更多钱。民主党则希望壮大华盛顿的政府规模，”图恩说道，“显然，我们将抓住每一个机会，让美国民众能留存更多自己赚来的钱。”

Trump’s $5,000 dividend plan draws some Republican skepticism
2026-09-10T19:07:08.689Z / Reuters
WASHINGTON, Sept 10 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s promise to send U.S. adults $5,000 “dividend” checks if his party keeps control of Congress in November’s midterm elections drew a cool reception from some Republicans on Thursday, with several lawmakers saying it would spike inflation and worsen the country’s fiscal stability.
Trump told voters at the Republicans’ midterm convention in Dallas on Wednesday that he would issue the stimulus checks to celebrate “our tremendous strength and success economically.” The proposal, if approved by Congress, would cost roughly $1.2 trillion, plus hundreds of billions of dollars more in interest.

Some Republicans warned the massive cash injection into an economy already running hot could accelerate inflation at a time when voters are concerned about high living costs.
“I would personally throw everything of my heart and soul to stop it, because it would actually do more damage to working people than would ever help them,” U.S. Representative David Schweikert, an Arizona Republican set to leave Congress at the end of his term, told Reuters on Wednesday.
“It would continue to raise interest rates,” he added. “It would be on their own credit card and would bring the interest rate death spiral sooner to the United States.”
SOME REPUBLICANS SUPPORT PLAN
Several Republicans quickly backed the proposal, however, as they look for ways to energize voters in the campaign’s final stretch. U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno, an Ohio Republican, wrote on social media that he was preparing legislation to formalize the “Trump dividend” after the November 3 election.
The debate is unfolding against the backdrop of a fiscal reckoning decades in the making. Economists across the political spectrum warn that Washington’s heavy borrowing — pushing the national debt toward levels unseen since World War Two — has put the country on an unsustainable financial trajectory.
Trump has promised other “dividends” before, including payments from tariff revenue and his cost-cutting U.S. Department of Government Efficiency. None have come to fruition.

He issued payments to military service members in December 2025, calling them a “warrior dividend.” But the $1,776 payments were repurposed funds from military housing stipends and not a Christmas bonus as Trump had described them.
“You never know with Trump whether this was just kind of a rhetorical thing, or whether he really meant it,” said Stephen Moore, a conservative economist who periodically advises Trump and White House officials.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in a statement that “the doomers and naysayers have consistently doubted President Trump” and Trump has proven them wrong.
“With the continued support of the American people, President Trump will keep delivering real results,” Ingle said.
Trump told voters on Wednesday to cast the midterms as a referendum on his presidency, instructing them to “pretend that I’m on the ballot.”
But voters have soured on Trump’s agenda, recent Reuters/Ipsos polls show. Trump’s approval rating stands at 33%. Most Americans oppose his new tariffs on Canadian goods, and voters favor Democrats’ approach to cost-of-living issues over Republicans’ by an eight-percentage-point margin.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican who has sometimes publicly disagreed with Trump, said it was unclear whether the checks could garner the 60 votes needed to defeat a Senate filibuster but that he thought Republicans could keep control of both chambers as they consider additional tax cuts.
“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” he told Fox News.
“He wants more money in the pockets of the American people. The Democrats want to grow government in Washington, D.C.,” Thune said. “Obviously, we’re going to be looking at every opportunity we can to allow the American people to keep more of what they earn.”
