Donald Trump told ABC News reporter Rachel Scott 'not you' during a heated exchange with journalists on the tarmac in Dallas, after she pressed him over the $5,000 payment he has proposed for American adults. The US president was speaking to reporters as he prepared to leave Dallas aboard Air Force One following the two-day Republican Midterm Convention.

Trump has pledged that American adults could receive a $5,000 payment if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress in the November midterm elections. He has described the proposal as a 'dividend' linked to the country's economic strength and tariff revenues, although the plan would require congressional approval.
