President Donald Trump on Sunday announced that a dividend payment of "at least" $2,000 would be paid to most Americans from US tariff revenues.

In a post on Truth Social, he wrote: "We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion."

"A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone."

Gonna have to go with "not sure this is a good idea".....It should only be given out to taxpayers.

If deadbeats are gonna get it then I say use it to help pay down the National Debt.

Yeah, this one caught me off guard too.

That said the Obama phones worked for The Halfrican.

Totally against it, just as I was against the Covid gifting that most people did not need at all.
Take that money and lock it in Social Security coffers etc. Which even that is problematic, because the next Democrat president would give it all to illegal immigrants.

All of those people who criticized Trump’s Tariff plan and are eligible for any dividend from tariff revenue, let’s see you be consistent and refuse it or at least return it to the Treasury. All of the Mamdani supporters should fork their tariff dividend checks over to him as he is already demanding funds for his campaign.

Is that on top of the DOGE dividend??

 

[1srelluc]

If a dividend is issued it should be based on the amount of federal taxes a recipient has paid in federal taxes.

Much like how Virginia returns excess taxes to it's taxpayers.

If you have not paid in, then you get nothing.

What’s the threshold for “high income people”?

What’s the threshold for “high income people”?

No idea.....It was just announced.

 

[initforme]

Is that 2000 per adult or just household? This is the first ive heard of it

 

[Blaster]

What’s the threshold for “high income people”?

They don't get anything.

 

[initforme]

I wonder if it will be a check? Or a tax deduction? I think this will be supported bigly.

How TF he gonna do that? The are factually NOT taking in "trillions of dollars". They are taking a few tens of billions which he has already promised for several different things.

It's not gonna happen anyway. The money isn't really there.

The tariffs have been taking in money. Your statement isnt true.

Right… but how much do you have to make

100% agree.
If you paid nothing in, you should get nothing. I hated the covid gifting. I will never forget the pictures of empty video game shelves etc. We worked, paid taxes - they don't do a ******* thing and we buy them video games and TVs?? **** that.

There's a shit ton of links on it now, try looking yourself.

This is pure fantasy.

$2000 for each taxpaying adult, of which there are some 160ish million, would be approximately $320 billion.

Total tariff revenues for fiscal 2025 were around $175 billion. Which he has, BTW already promised to use to bail out farmers and various other things.

That math doesn't math.

This is just bullshit to make him look good for a minute or two.

I wonder what the projected tariff take will be for 2026 if SCOTUS does not **** it up?
