Rep. James Walkinshaw argued that even if Trump’s proposed $5,000 checks ever go out, they wouldn’t erase the costs he says families are already absorbing from tariffs, higher gas prices and health care cuts. “Even if you got $5,000 from Donald Trump,” he said, “you’re still in the hole in many cases.” Trump has proposed sending $5,000 to every U.S. adult if Republicans retain Congress, but the plan would require congressional approval and is estimated to cost more than $1 trillion.
