The offer comes near the end. Donald Trump promises every adult citizen a $5,000 payment if his party wins, with a condition: the money must be spent in the United States.
The pledge arrives almost six minutes into Bloomberg Podcasts' recording of his closing midterm pitch at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump then urges supporters to vote the next day to preserve Republican strength in Congress.
Before reaching that offer, he presents an upbeat account of his administration's economic record, describing America as entering a "golden age." He points to policies eliminating taxes on tips and overtime, discusses oil prices and military strikes against Iran, and says an Iran deal could happen. These are the president's campaign arguments, delivered from an outdoor lectern in a white USA cap.
The upload drew about 17,500 views in its opening seven hours, already several times the audience a regular Bloomberg Podcasts video usually reaches across its entire first day.
For readers looking specifically for the payment pledge, it begins at 05:58. Trump states the amount and domestic-spending condition before moving directly to his closing appeal to vote.
