President Donald Trump โ promised a $5,000 "Trump dividend" โpayment to every US adult on Wednesday if his Republicans retain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the November 3 midterm elections. The pledge has raised numerous questions. Here's what we know so far.ย
O presidente norte-americano, Donald Trump, garante que se os Republicanos vencerem a Cรขmara dos Representantes e o Senado, vai distribuir a cada cidadรฃo US$ 5ย mil, o equivalente a 4.200 euros ou a R$ 25 mil.ย A promessa foi feitaย durante discurso na convenรงรฃo nacional que ocorreย em Dallas, no Texas. โSe os republicanos vencerem a Cรขmara dos Representantes e o Senado dos Estados Unidos, e face ao nosso tremendo sucesso econรณmico, vou entregar dividendos a todos os adultos dos Estados Unidos, no valor de US$ 5 milโ, anunciou o presidente.

A proposta custaria mais de US$ 1 bilhรฃo e levanta questรตes sobre a sua legalidade, sendo descrita pelos democratas como โpromessa vaziaโ.ย A promessa foi feita com o objetivo de conseguir mobilizar os militantes para as eleiรงรตes de 3 de novembro, que se mostramย difรญceis para o partido de Trump. Em causa nessas eleiรงรตes estรฃo todos os lugares da Cรขmara dos Representantes e um terรงo do Senado e as projeรงรตes nรฃo sรฃo otimistas para os republicanos. Pesquisas mostramย que os democratas conquistarรฃo a maioria na Cรขmara dos Representantes โ que terรก todos os seus lugares em disputa โ e possivelmente o Senado. Essa mudanรงa limitaria drasticamente a margem de manobra de Donald Trump durante os dois anos finais do seu mandato, sendo que atualmente o presidente domina a Casa Branca, o Senado e a Cรขmara dos Representantes. Alรฉm disso, as pesquissย mostram que aย taxa de aprovaรงรฃo de Donald Trump estรก no nรญvel mais baixo jรก registrado, situando-se atualmente abaixo dos 35%. โFaรงam de conta que estou no boletimโ O presidente norte-americano pediu aos eleitores que finjam que o seu nome estรก no boletim de voto, na esperanรงa de conseguir mobilizar o eleitorado, avisando que se os democratas vencerem emย novembro serรก โo infernoโ. โPeรงo que faรงam de conta que estou no boletim de votoโ, apelou. โApenas mais uma vez, porque se perdermos vocรชs vรฃo perder a fronteira, os cortes nos impostos, a seguranรงa, aย riqueza, e o nosso paรญs descerรก ao infernoโ, acrescentou. Na mensagem, transmitida por outros republicanos horas antes na mesma convenรงรฃo, Trump alertou: "Entreguem o futuro da Amรฉrica aos democratas da esquerda radical e a nossa naรงรฃo passarรก a prรณxima dรฉcada apenas a se reerguer. Votem nos republicanos e deixaremos o mundo para trรกs por geraรงรตes". Ao longo do discurso de duas horas, o presidente abordou tambรฉm a guerra no Irรฃ, alertando que o conflito nรฃo vai terminar antes das eleiรงรตes de meio de mandato. "O preรงo do petrรณleo vai cair assim que vencermos a guerra com o Irรฃ", disse, repetindo previsรฃo feitaย horas antes. Trump reconheceu que a guerra no Oriente Mรฉdio causou aumento nos preรงos da energia e dificuldades nos mercados financeiros, mas disse que ela era necessรกria para impedir que o Irรฃย obtivesse arma nuclear. "Alguรฉm aqui acha que o Irรฃย deveria ter uma arma nuclear?", questionou, com a multidรฃo a responder com um sonoro "nรฃo". Esta รฉ a primeira vez que os republicanos se juntam numa convenรงรฃo fora de um ano de eleiรงรตes presidenciais. Nesta quinta-feira serรก a vez de o vice-presidente,JD Vance, discursar. * ร proibida a reproduรงรฃo deste conteรบdo.
