US President Donald Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to his tariff policies, claiming they have significantly strengthened the American economy. In a recent post on Truth Social, he announced that every American, excluding high-income individuals, will receive a dividend of at least $2,000 from the revenues generated by these tariffs. He stated, "People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!" and boasted that the US has become "the richest, most respected country in the world, with almost no inflation, and a record stock market price."
Trump emphasized that the US is collecting trillions of dollars from tariffs, which he believes will help reduce the national debt of $37 trillion. He highlighted the surge in domestic investments, claiming that businesses are flocking to the US due to these tariffs. However, he did not provide specific details on how or when the proposed dividend would be distributed.
These comments come as the US Supreme Court is reviewing challenges to the legality of the tariffs imposed during his presidency. The court is examining whether Trump overstepped his authority in implementing these sweeping import duties. During the hearings, several justices expressed skepticism about the administration's justification for the tariffs, questioning the broad application of the international emergency economic powers act.
Trump defended his position, arguing that the president has the right to impose tariffs for national security reasons. He criticized the legal scrutiny, stating, "The whole thing is ridiculous! Other Countries can Tariff us, but we can’t Tariff them???" He also warned that a ruling against the tariffs could lead to significant economic repercussions, including the potential for the government to refund billions in collected tariffs.
The outcome of this case is expected to have major implications for future presidential authority in setting trade policy. Trump described the ongoing legal battle as one of the most important cases in US history, asserting that tariffs are crucial for maintaining the country's economic strength and independence.
