'Trump dividend' promise gets rocky reception on Capitol Hill, tell me about this news in (https://www.foxnews.com/video/6405201991112)

The Fox News report covers the reaction among lawmakers on Capitol Hill to Donald Trump’s proposal to issue a $5,000 “Trump dividend” check to every adult American citizen if Republicans retain control of Congress in the midterm elections.

Key details covered in the report include:

• The Proposal: Trump announced the plan at a Republican convention rally, comparing the payout to a corporation distributing dividends to shareholders, funded by national revenue and tariff receipts. He added a condition that the funds would need to be spent within the United States.

• Cost and Fiscal Pushback: The proposal faces sharp skepticism due to its estimated price tag exceeding $1.2 trillion. Lawmakers and fiscal conservatives raised concerns about adding to the national debt and potentially reigniting inflation.

• Congressional Authority: While Trump initially suggested he might not need congressional approval, congressional leadership, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, noted that distributing direct payments of this scale legally requires legislation passed by Congress.

• Legislative Hesitation: Fox News Digital spoke with multiple House Republicans, revealing mixed to rocky reactions. While loyal allies voiced interest in drafting a bill, many members voiced fiscal caution, questioned how it would be paid for, or expressed doubts about whether such a measure could secure enough votes to pass.
