Former President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social a sweeping new economic proposal aimed at sharing tariff revenue directly with Americans. In his post, Trump pledged to create a nationwide dividend program that would provide at least $2,000 per person, excluding high-income earners.
According to Trump, the payments would be funded entirely through tariffs on foreign imports, which he argues would ensure that “America’s wealth stays in American hands.” The proposal marks one of his most populist economic promises yet, blending protectionist trade policy with direct financial relief for U.S. citizens.
While details on implementation remain unclear, the plan has already sparked debate among economists and policymakers, with supporters calling it a “patriotic dividend” and critics warning it could raise consumer prices.
