President Donald Trump has suggested that the majority of Americans could receive $2,000 in dividends, claiming that the U.S. is bringing in “trillions of dollars” due to an influx of tariff revenue.
“People that are against tariffs are fools. We are now the richest, most respected country in the world. We are taking in trillions of dollars and will soon begin paying down our enormous debt… Record Investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place,” claimed Trump via Truth Social. “A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high-income people) will be paid to everyone.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has floated the idea of paying some kind of stimulus check or tax rebate to the majority of Americans as a direct result of the money raised from tariffs.
