Trump says that a tariff stimulus check of $2,000 will be paid to “everyone,” except rich people. Bessent softens the $2,000 promise, saying it may only be tax adjustments, not checks.

If the money is real, someone else is absorbing the pain quietly.

TRUMP: “PEOPLE THAT ARE AGAINST TARIFFS ARE FOOLS!”

“People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS! 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 $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.”

President Donald Trump on Sunday made a major announcement about paying out tariff dividends to Americans. He wrote on Truth Social that a dividend of at least $2000 per person, excluding high income people, would be paid to everyone.

The president in the same post batted for the tariffs his administration has placed on trade with other countries, amid the legal test it is facing in the Supreme Court. Earlier this week, the top court heard arguments on whether most of Trump’s tariffs were legally imposed and justices reportedly sounded skeptical of his authority.
