Trump Says Americans To Receive $2,000 Tariff Dividend, Treasury Secretary Says It Could Come In Other Forms

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump said that each American will receive at least $2,000 from U.S. tariff revenues.

In a Sunday post on Truth Social, Trump noted that the payments would be for all but “high income people.”

“A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone,” the president wrote, seemingly attempting to garner public support for his criticized tariffs.

Trump called out his political opponents who have slammed his pro-tariff stance as “fools,” claiming that his sweeping tariffs have made America more powerful and wealthier.

1. Right...

It's yet another false promise to try and lure the rubes with a little cash, truly a paltry sum given the size of HIS dividends... on our money.

He's lying, you can tell because his lips are moving.

2. It's called A BRIBE. a payoff. aka

hush money to get Americans to look the other way while he continues to fuck the economy, our institutions, our healthcare, our workforce, our consumer protections, our environment, etc. etc etc. - our peace of mind.

3. No, it's called a PROMISE.

It's only a bribe if you actually receive the money. We're talking Trump here.

4. No, I think it's still called a bribe, but

I get your point about broken promises... and "concepts of a plan."

5. What about pumpkins? I'll take my payment in pumkins

Just in time for the holidays too! There'll be plenty of pumpkin pie at the Devil Compound thanks to Unca Donald!

They're all con artists and grifters.

7. There Is No Form

Tariffs will never generate that kind of money. No rebates, tax cuts, cash, tax credits. Nothing.
As Trump says "per person" this "plan" blows a $500 billion hole in the budget.
The money simply will never be there, so this is just another empty promise.
Besides, even if it's "per household", it still eliminates the promise that tariffs would pay down national debt.
Smoke & mirrors!

8. I trust him. I think we'll get our checks

If the 8 brave Senate Democrats can trust the Republicans on the shutdown, I'm with them!
