Former President Donald Trump outlined a bold plan on Truth Social to fund a nationwide dividend through tariffs. He promised:
“A dividend of at least $2,000 per person (excluding high-income earners) will be paid to everyone.”
How the Plan Works
Trump’s strategy is straightforward: tax foreign imports, generate revenue, and return some of it to Americans. He argued:
“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.”
He claims tariffs are spurring investment and driving economic growth.
Legal and Practical Challenges
Experts caution that the plan faces serious hurdles. The U.S. collected $195 billion in customs duties through September 2025, far short of the $300–$500 billion needed to fund the proposed dividend.
Additionally, how the money would be distributed remains unclear. Options include tax rebates or healthcare credits, but no official framework exists yet.
