House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) dodged a question from Eric Michael Garcia of The Independent:
GARCIA: You’re talking a lot about communism. How is communism any different from what President Trump is doing, getting equity stakes and promising $5,000 checks to Americans and having equity in steel?
JOHNSON: So, what the president is articulating—and he comes up with creative ideas all the time, he’s the ideas president, and we have a hard time keeping pace with it sometimes—he debuted at the convention, famously, the idea of basically a dividend check to Americans, right? We’re processing that.
