DeSantis knocks Trump $5K dividend payment pledge: ‘More debt and more inflation’

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Senator Susan Collins have criticized President Trump's proposal to provide $5,000 dividend payments to every U.S. adult following a Republican midterm victory. DeSantis argued the plan would increase debt and inflation, suggesting tax cuts as a better alternative for surplus revenue. Meanwhile, Collins described the initiative as extraordinarily costly, questioning the lack of an income cap and the decision to provide payments regardless of an individual's financial need.
