U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that each American will receive at least $2,000 from the country’s tariff revenues, excluding high-income earners.
In a post shared on Truth Social, President Trump praised the current state of the U.S. economy, describing it as “the most respected country in the world.” He noted that the United States is enjoying “almost no inflation” and a record-breaking stock market.
Trump claimed that the country is generating “trillions of dollars” from tariffs, which will be used not only to fund the proposed citizen payments but also to start reducing America’s $37 trillion national debt.
“People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!” Trump wrote.
“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 $2,000 a person (not including high-income people!) will be paid to everyone.”
Trump’s announcement has sparked widespread discussion across the U.S., with analysts debating how such payments would be funded and implemented. While he credited tariffs for generating massive revenue, economists warn that additional details are needed to understand how the proposed “tariff dividend” will work in practice.
