Trump told a Kentucky rally the Iran war, now approaching eight months, will end
soon and gasoline prices would fall to below pre-war levels. He repeated similar
prior assertions. He also revived a contested pledge that if Republicans win
control of both chambers each US adult would receive $5,000; the plan is
estimated to cost more than $1 trillion, would require congressional approval
and could further widen the US annual budget deficit of about $1.8 trillion. He
additionally pledged that a Republican victory would prompt the Defense
Department to invest in reviving a Kentucky drug manufacturing plant.
