In an effort to drump up support for his widely unpopular tariffs as the Supreme Court weighs the legality of them, President Donald Trump doubled down Sunday morning on his previous promises to pay out "a dividend of at least" $2,000 in stimulus checks to Americans, Mediaite reports.

“People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We are now the Richest, Most Respected Country In the World, With Almost No Inflation, and A Record Stock Market Price. 401k’s are Highest EVER. We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion. Record Investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place. A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.”

And while Trump's MAGA followers are thrilled by this idea, others think it's downright disastrous, if it even happens.

"OK so Trump is creating a recipe for run-away inflation. 2k checks to irrespsonsible Americans will cause a spike in inflation with a couple months. The 50 year mortgage will cause a massive increase in house prices," wrote David Kaufmann on X.

AI recruiting agent Will Blaze wrote, "So Trump is giving out $2k to everyone and taking stakes in American companies but Mamdani is a socialist? Idk what to believe anymore."

The Bulwark's founder and publisher Sarah Longwell sarcastically reposted Trump's Truth Social tirade, saying, "That will fix inflation, great plan. Very strong plan."

Journalist Kevin Manahan suggested that "Cash-strapped Americans should immediately charge an additional $2,000 worth of stuff for Christmas. Maybe book a vacation. Put 2K down on a new car or truck. Trump promised it, so the money is practically in the bank."

"I'm still waiting for my DOGE rebate check," wrote another commenter on X.
