President repeats $5,000 pledge for all adults, says U.S. can 'easily handle' it

The President told reporters at a golf-course appearance that 'It's $5,000 to all adults in the adults in the country, and we can easily handle that because we're taking in so much money.' He presented the payment as a pledge he had made and as affordable given current federal receipts.

He framed the proposal as a partisan contrast, saying Democrats 'can't make that pledge' and warning that under Democratic control 'you'll go into a depression.' The President also pointed to recent legislative wins, saying he had delivered large military funding and listing tax-related changes as achievements. The remarks were conversational and did not include details on timing, legislative mechanisms, or fiscal modeling for implementing a universal $5,000 payment.
