Trump Jokes $5,000 Payment Would Buy Only a Burger at Mar-a-Lago Amid Campaign
President Donald Trump joked that a proposed $5,000 payment to American adults would barely cover a hamburger and dessert at his Mar-a-Lago resort during a Texas campaign rally. He urged supporters to spend the money within the US if Republicans retain Congress. The proposal, aimed at addressing affordability amid rising living costs, has drawn criticism from Democrats and some supporters who question its feasibility and political motives ahead of the November midterm elections.
