Trump Clashes With ABC Reporter Over $5,000 Payment Pledge and US Debt
President Donald Trump clashed with ABC News reporter Rachel Scott after she questioned his proposal to give US adults $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress in the midterm elections. Scott asked why the payments were needed when the United States is facing about $40 trillion in national debt. Trump denied that the proposal was meant to drive voter turnout, saying it was a reward for Americans who endured the previous administration's policies. When Scott tried to follow up, Trump interrupted her and criticised her network. The proposed payments remain a campaign pledge, with no authorised or funded federal programme announced in the report.
