President Donald Trump claimed at an Ohio rally that he alone noticed a $1,776 "warrior dividend" check amount was one dollar more than the proposed $1,775, calling it proof of his high intelligence. Trump used the anecdote to defend his pledge of $5,000 checks to all adults if Republicans keep Congress, amid criticism he failed to deliver two previously promised payments. He stated, "Nobody saw it but me, I'm very proud." The rally occurred 31 days before the midterms, with polling suggesting challenging prospects for Republican candidates nationwide. Trump framed the 1776 reference as a unique intellectual achievement.
