Donald Trump’s promise of a $5,000 “Trump dividend” for every US citizen if Republicans retain control of the US Congress in November’s midterm elections has sparked incredulity and accusations of bribery. “If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000,” Trump said during the unprecedented Republican midterm convention in Dallas. “It will be called the Trump dividend.” As we all know, it is illegal to offer financial incentives in exchange for votes. Congress should be outraged by Trump's proclamation. When will the Republican dominated Congress finally stand up to Trump's clear contempt for the rule of law? Republicans' cowardly dereliction of duty in Congress shows how unfit you have become for the office you hold.
