Role at the time: President of the United States, speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One
Responding to
Trump’s $5,000 election pledge: policy dividend or vote-buying?
“The 5,000’s going to happen, 100%.”
Trump directly recommitted to the proposal. The statement supports the promised payment but does not establish legislation, funding, legality, or implementation.
Associated Press reports that on September 13, before boarding Air Force One in Ireland, President Trump said the proposed $5,000 payment would happen “100%.” The report also says he provided no funding or legal mechanism and quotes Speaker Johnson saying congressional action would be needed.
Role at the time: President of the United States interviewed by Laura Ingraham
Responding to
Trump’s $5,000 election pledge: policy dividend or vote-buying?
“Because with them, it's negative growth. with us, it's so positive.”
The answer supplies a defense of the election condition. His assertions about economic performance are attributed claims rather than independently established conclusions.
Fox News' written account of its own interview quotes Trump defending why the proposed payment depends on Republicans retaining Congress. The quotation is taken from the broadcaster's text, not a new independent audio transcription. The publication timestamp is verified from article metadata and is not the interview recording time. Economic and tariff claims are attributed to Trump, not adopted as verified facts.
