United States President Donald Trump has promised every single American, except those who are “high income”, a $2000 tariff dividend. This dividend would be funded by his tariff policies and is currently under review for “legality” by the Supreme Court.
“A dividend of at least $2,000 a person (not including high-income people!) will be paid to everyone,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday.
“People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!” the ruler added, insisting that the policy is contributing “trillions of dollars” to the U.S. budget and will help reduce the nation’s $38 trillion national debt. The tariffs are also driving up prices as consumers struggle to make ends meet.
In August, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC that the administration’s priority is to use the tariff revenue to pay down the $38.12 trillion national debt.

At a press briefing in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump was asked about one judge’s comment that tariffs are essentially taxes paid by the people. “I don’t agree,” he replied. “I think that they might be paying something… But when you take the overall impact, Americans are gaining tremendously.”
A Supreme Court ruling against the tariff policy would be “devastating for our country,” the president said. “I also think that we’ll have to develop a ‘game two’ plan.”
Tariffs are paid by the end consumer. The cost of goods increases down the line, and those selling it increase the price to cover the cost of the tariff. That means that American consumers are the ones paying for these taxes that the ruling class levied.
The promised $2000 could also come in the form of “tax breaks,” Bessent told ABC News. Which means nothing to the American public because we already know the ruling class will not be dismantling the IRS (Internal Revenue Service).
