President Donald Trump on Sunday claimed that a “dividend of at least $2000 a person” will be paid to all Americans except for “high-income people,” saying the country is now wealthy as a result of his tariff policies.
“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,” the president wrote.
Making people pay tariffs and then giving back some of the money. Brilliant
And then they force you to pay it back in your taxes like they did with the covid stimulus.
1- no he won’t.
2- even if he does it’s going to be a disastrous shit show.
So far, there has been $200B collected in tariffs as of September. Some estimates are saying $300B by end of year.

The current estimated US population is 340 million.

Take off 10% for “the wealthy”, that leaves 306,000,000.
I can’t imagine Trump giving $2,000 to kids, so knock off anyone under 18, that’s another 73 million off the list.
So round about 233,000,000 people getting $2,000 checks?
$466 billion. Oops. Hey Donnie, you’re short somewhere between $166 and $266 billion.
So how much COULD people get?
$200B / 233M = $858.37
$300B / 233M = $1,287.55Not awful, until you realize that’s how much these taxes soaked you for in the first place. 😉

This is meant to pressure SCOTUS, who are leaning towards shutting down his tariffs-because-whatever administration method.
I’m sure it will be on the same day the doge checks hit.
Where’s the doge checks ? From like February. ?

Great, jobs are being lost at record rates, but here’s two grand. Cool. Part of my rent can be paid now for one month.
Paying us with our own money
Somebody said something about that, didn’t they? 🤔
Scratches brain…

If only, this is just the money printer going brr again.
Full of shit. Remember the so called ‘DOGE Stimulis’?
This is the same deal.
your check will arrive in 2 weeks!
That will be the first 2 weeks of March 2084, check your mail you could be a winner.
Corrupting voters so they don’t kill him once he takes absolute power
Sounds like adding more to the national debt to me.
What do I care? It’s all funny money anyway.
Not that Donnie Dipshit is actually going to deliver. But I’m tried of hearing about the deficit whenever “money for plebs” is on the table. Then Israel or Argentina gets $40B no questions asked. Nobody seems to bat an eye.
You paid him more than his bullshit 2k anyway. Weren’t the earliest estimates like 3.5k annual per household? Not to mention, you can’t buy my complacency on dismantling of the economy. Fuck Trump. I’d rather eat roaches than take his stimulus.
You can’t buy my complacancy… but you can try. Maybe try again, just to be sure.
At this point who cares?
National debt? Isnt that like our high score?
