Former President Donald Trump spoke at an unusual Republican convention in Texas this week. Such conventions do not normally happen in midterm election years.
Trump made several big promises. He said every adult American would receive $5,000 if Republicans keep control of Congress. Experts say this plan could cost over one trillion dollars. Trump also suggested renaming the Strait of Hormuz after himself.
On Iran, Trump claimed the conflict would end shortly after the November election. He said Iran was making the war last longer to influence the vote.
