Trump Says Iran War Won’t End Until After November Elections, Eyes Oil Price Drop

Donald Trump’s opening speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas shifted focus from policy to turnout, showcased the party’s reliance on his brand, and seeded a controversial $5,000 cash pledge for every U.S. adult if Republicans win both congressional chambers. The event also underscored the party’s stark disconnect with moderates, triggered debate over a successor to Trump, and raised doubts about the practicality of the cash plan. While the rally energised Trump loyalists, critics questioned whether such promises could translate into electoral gains amid rising cost‑of‑living concerns.

President Donald Trump announced that, if Republicans win the House and Senate in November’s midterm elections, every adult U.S. citizen will receive a $5,000 payment. The proposal would push the federal budget beyond $1.3 trillion, raising concerns about financing, enforcement and constitutional limits. Critics label it an "empty promise," while some legal experts argue it could be framed as a tax cut protected by the First Amendment. The promise came amid heightened tensions over the Iran–U.S. war and soaring oil prices, which Trump claims will stay high until the elections. The GOP’s rally, held in Dallas, is the party’s first ever in-person convention during a presidential term.

At a Republican midterms convention in Dallas, Donald Trump addressed his base by promising a $5,000 cash payout to every U.S. adult if the GOP wins full control of Congress in November. He also discussed cost‑of‑living concerns, the ongoing war in Iran, and the party’s future without his direct involvement. The rally, dominated by MAGA supporters, highlighted the stark absence of moderate Republicans and underscored the challenges Republicans face in broadening turnout. While the pledge may appear unrealistic, it energised supporters and drew sharp criticism from Democrats and legal experts.
