Trump repeats pledge of $5,000 payments if Republicans win House and Senate

The pledge is notable less for its arithmetic than for its silence: no mechanism, no eligibility rules, no funding source.

The open question is whether any legislative or fiscal framework follows, and how markets read the gap between a campaign promise and a workable transfer program.
