Resolved YES if trump successfully distributes $5k to all American adults or meaningfully succeeds. For example, not literally every adult needs to receive the money, provided a majority do and reasonably “everyone” is eligible.

Resolves N/A if republicans don’t win at least 50 senate seats and a house majority

Resolves NO if no such dividend occurs before the next election (2028)

  • Update 2026-09-10 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The market can resolve YES even if large subcategories of people are excluded from the dividend. Acceptable exclusions include restricting eligibility to:

    • Taxpayers

    • American-born citizens

Resolution will focus on whether there is a serious attempt or success at a dividend, rather than comprehensive coverage.

  • Update 2026-09-10 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - To resolve YES, it must be unambiguous that more than 50% of American adults received the money. If there is any ambiguity, the market will resolve NO.

    • Specific exclusions of entire states will result in a NO resolution.

How will this pass congress? People like Rand Paul wouldn’t support this.

The comeback from the Maga idiots is trump can do it without congress.

If that’s true, why is it contingent on winning the senate/house? You can pass it regardless of the outcome!

So it’s just a bribe.

You have to be a 🤡 to support trump

Does this resolve YES when people start having checks in hand? What if only "certain people" seem to be getting checks even though, on legislation, everybody should be getting checks?

I suspect underhanded shenanigans if this is a thing. How many types of these shenanigans do you want to insulate yourself from?

Like, "whoops, USPS dropped the ball on the checks heading out to California. That wasn't our fault. Maybe they should have voted for me."

@Quroe the hard line I am drawing is 'majority', so if it is unambiguous that >50% of american adults received the money I would resolve YES, but if it's ambiguous at all then I'll just resolve NO.

If there were specific exclusions of like, states, then I would resolve NO, because:

not literally every adult needs to receive the money, provided a majority do and reasonably “everyone” is eligible.

I would consider that to mean that not everyone is eligible.

The money has to be delivered by the 2028 Election (because like, why would he wait to do it after?)

filled a Ṁ16 NO at 7% order

@Gen Excellent. Okay, I think most edge cases look tamped down now.

@Gen Do you intend for the market close date to be what it is?

@Quroe updated to Nov 5 2027

@Gen What if only citizens are eligible and not every single adult, like those on visas? I want to test the definition of "American adults" here.

@Quroe yeah most subcategories would be acceptable so provided it isn't like, "we're giving this to the whitest people in the reddest state", I'll probably resolve YES even if large amounts of people are excluded for edge-reasons (i.e. they could make it only for taxpayers, only for american born ppl, etc.), I think the important question here is not so much how comprehensive it will be, but if there is any serious attempt/success at all

@Gen Pray to whatever higher power you believe in that this doesn't become a point of contention on this market.

You should specify that if the republicans lose the midterm, you'll cancel this market (refunding all betters)

@HamishTodd description now exists

Seems illegal though rip

There’s always alpha in given people money, trump seems to understand it lmfao

Nice
