总统唐纳德·特朗普提出，如果共和党在中期选举中大获全胜，就向所有美国人发放巨额现金红利，这一承诺遭到民主党议员的猛烈抨击，他们称该誓言是“歇斯底里的”谎言和非法贿赂。
“我认为这太离谱了，”宾夕法尼亚州民主党众议员克里斯西·休拉汉谈到这项承诺时表示，“说真的，我觉得这很荒谬。这本质上就是一项我们负担不起的、向美国人民行贿的提议。”
“这简直就是天方夜谭，对吧？”加利福尼亚州民主党众议员皮特·阿吉拉尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“5000美元支票，再加上什么小狗、彩虹和小马之类的空头支票。”

他继续说道：“总统会不惜一切代价做出任何承诺。”
佛蒙特州无党派参议员伯尼·桑德斯在被问及这笔支票时摆手拒绝置评。
本月早些时候在达拉斯举行的共和党全国委员会中期会议上，特朗普承诺，只要共和党在11月的选举中赢得参众两院的控制权，就会发放5000美元现金红利。
“5000美元来换取国会多数席位？”马里兰州民主党参议员安吉拉·阿尔索布鲁克斯说道，“他已经掌控参众两院和白宫了，结果搞得一塌糊涂。”
“这只是他试图向美国民众做出的竞选承诺，因为他清楚自己支持率低迷，表现不佳，民众都很愤怒，”阿吉拉尔说道。
大多数接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的民主党议员都对特朗普的5000美元承诺不屑一顾，称其为“谎言”，并表示美国民众之前已经听过他的这类承诺。
“如果有机会为美国民众提供救济，你应该抓住机会，”得克萨斯州民主党众议员克里斯蒂安·梅尼菲说道，“但在选举季向美国人撒谎，总统已经做过很多次了，我认为这既可悲又可耻。”

他继续说道：“我可以向你保证，这些支票根本不可能兑现。”
“我认为这又是一个谎言，民众不会上当的，”佐治亚州民主党参议员拉斐尔·沃诺克说道。
不仅仅是民主党议员反对特朗普的想法。许多共和党议员也明确表示反对，还有一些人质疑这项计划是否真的能够实施或获得国会批准。众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党议员迈克·约翰逊上周表示，国会批准是必要前提。
“你已经看到众议院共和党人和国会山的共和党人都说过这不可能实现，”阿吉拉尔说道，“这只是他试图向美国民众做出的竞选承诺，因为他知道自己支持率低迷，表现不佳，民众都很愤怒。”
“他之前就这么干过，”弗吉尼亚州民主党众议员苏哈斯·苏布拉马尼亚姆说道，“他从来没有兑现过承诺。就算他真的兑现了，我们又该怎么筹钱呢？”
向2.4亿美国民众发放这笔款项将使联邦政府损失约1.2万亿美元。特朗普对有关该计划负担能力的批评不屑一顾，称美国“轻松”就能负担这笔支出。

副总统JD·万斯暗示，资金来源之一可能是关税收入。他还提议将富裕美国人排除在领取范围之外，以降低该承诺的成本，使其更具可行性。
民主党议员还批评特朗普的政策优先级，敦促总统将注意力转向为美国民众提供实实在在的成果——尤其强调医疗保健问题。
“我宁愿让民众重新获得医保和食品援助，”苏布拉马尼亚姆说道，“对大多数人来说，这比5000美元有用多了。”
“如果他真的关心美国民众，他就会确保他们能享受到医保，”阿尔索布鲁克斯说道。
沃诺克甚至将美国人需要这笔5000美元支票归咎于特朗普的政策。
“美国人之所以需要5000美元，唯一的原因就是特朗普糟糕的政策，”沃诺克说道，“他应该修正自己的政策，而不是等到选举之后才做这件事。”

President Donald Trump’s promise of a hefty payout for all Americans if Republicans win big in the midterm elections is taking heat from Democratic lawmakers who blast the vow as a “hysterical” lie and unlawful bribe.
“I think it’s hysterical,” Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., said about the promise. “Literally, I think, it’s insane. It’s effectively a proposed bribe of the American people that we can’t afford.”
“This is just fantasy land, right?” Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., told Fox News Digital. “$5,000 checks, plus, you know, puppies and rainbows and ponies.”

He continued, “The president will make any promises he can.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., waved off Fox News Digital when asked about the checks, declining to comment.
Trump pledged to issue the $5,000 dividend during his speech at the Republican National Committee’s midterm convention in Dallas earlier this month — as long as the GOP wins to keep control of both the Senate and the House in November.
“$5,000 to gain a majority?” Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md., said. “He already has the Senate and the House and the White House, and it’s been an unmitigated disaster.”
“It’s just a campaign promise that he’s trying to make to the American public, because he knows he’s underwater, and he’s not doing well and people are angry,” Aguilar said.
Most Democrats who spoke with Fox News Digital about the payments waved off the president’s $5,000 pledge as a “lie” and argued it’s something Americans have heard from him before.
“If you have an opportunity to provide relief to the American people, you should take it,” Rep. Christian Menefee, D-Texas said. “But lying to Americans around election season, what the president has done numerous times, I think it’s sad and shameful.”

He continued, “I can guarantee you those checks ain’t happening.”
“I think it’s one more lie, and people aren’t going to fall for this,” Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., said.
It’s not just Democratic lawmakers who disagree with Trump’s idea. Many Republicans have also been vocal about their outright opposition, with others questioning whether it could actually be achieved or approved by Congress. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said last week congressional approval would be necessary.
“You’ve already seen House Republicans and Capitol Hill Republicans say that this isn’t going to happen,” Aguilar said. “It’s just a campaign promise that he’s trying to make to the American public, because he knows he’s underwater, and he’s not doing well and people are angry.”
“He’s done this before,” Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., said. “He’s never followed through on it. If he does follow through, how are we gonna do it?”
The payments to 240 million Americans would cost the federal government roughly $1.2 trillion. Trump brushed off affordability criticism of the pledge, saying the U.S. could “easily” afford the payouts.

Vice President JD Vance suggested one source for the money could come from tariff revenue. He also proposed excluding wealthy Americans from receiving the payout to make the pledge’s price tag more feasible.
Democrats also scrutinized Trump’s prioritization, urging the president to shift his focus to deliverables for the American people — particularly emphasizing healthcare.
“I’d rather give people their healthcare and their food assistance back,” Subramanyam said. “That’d be way more than $5,000 for most people.”
“If he really cared about the American people, he would have made sure they had healthcare,” Alsobrooks said.
Warnock even blamed Trump’s policies for being the reason Americans would need the $5,000 check.

“The only reason why Americans would need $5,000 is because of Trump’s awful policies,” Warnock said. “He should fix his policies. He shouldn’t wait until after the election.”
