President Donald Trump said he would pay every American adult a $5,000 "Trump dividend" if Republicans retain control of Congress in November's midterm election. Trump made the proposal at his Republican Party's first-ever midterm convention, but it was not immediately clear how the payments would work or whether they would be legal. With approximately 270 million US adults, the idea would cost around $1.35 trillion. Tom's joined by Katy Balls, Washington editor and columnist at The Times and Sunday Times. She joins from Dallas where she witnessed the speech from the journalist section of the conference. During a primetime address that lasted an hour and 45 minutes, Trump boasted of completing "the greatest two years in the history of the presidency," putting himself squarely at the centre of the election despite his deepening unpopularity. #tomswarbrick #donaldtrump #dallas #republicans #uspolitics #midterms #lbc
