Trump pledges to give thousands to every US adult if Republicans win November mid-terms

UNITED STATES President Donald Trump pledged $5,000 (£3,700) to every adult US citizen if his Republican Party wins both chambers of Congress in November’s mid-term elections.

The possibly illegal offer was made during a speech by President Trump on Wednesday evening at the Republican Party’s first ever convention in the middle of a US presidential term. 

President Trump gave no details during his speech in Dallas, Texas on how the plan would work or where the money would come from.
