At best, this is hyperbole. At worst, it's a bribe. Either way, it is not something a sitting president should do in the middle of an election season.
Once you give me money, how in the world can you control where I spend it?
Where does this $5k come from?
How is the president authorized to distribute this money/make this promise since Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of
The Constitution says Congress will have to pass a law for this to happen?
This seems an appeal to people's primitive nature. The idea that everyone has a price. He's lowballing those of us that don't need $5k and hoping there are enough people in America who can still be bought on the cheap. Make it $50k, I have a kid starting college next year.
