At a rally in Mississippi, Trump said that if Republicans win both chambers he will give all adult citizens $5,000, paid for with tariff money, and that "only Republicans can do that." In the same breath he warned that if Democrats win, "you will have a 1929-style economic depression."

If Republicans win the House of Representatives and Senate, I am going to give all adult citizens in the United States $5 ,000. And only Republicans can do that because Democrats can't even get close because we're taking in massive amounts of money through tariffs and record -setting economic success. But the Democrat policies won't allow this to happen. In fact, if the Democrats win, you will have a 1929 -style economic depression.
