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.
This still doesn’t erase the fact that Donald J. Trump is a pedophile, protects pedophiles, and lied about the Epstein files.

I like redistributing wealth, no complaints here, but as a response to Trump’s claims of a wealth government I offer a reminder to everyone here that Trump decreased federal income and increased the 5 year deficit by about 7 Trillion by the lowest estimates. The US Government does not have the money to do this.
They won’t have the money period to do anything useful for a long time.
Honestly at this point you have to wonder if he’s trying to cause hyperinflation and is just really bad it.
He and his litany of last-mans-in-the-room are all balls deep in crypto after all.
Maybe he meant the opposite, to be paid exclusively to millionaires
“We have the concept of doing a rebate”
I think he might be lying
You can tell because his mouth is open

Where’s the doge checks ? From like February. ?
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. 😉
And the average person got soaked for more than they even can get back, because tariffs have significant deadweight losses.
This is meant to pressure SCOTUS, who are leaning towards shutting down his tariffs-because-whatever administration method.
We’re gonna charge you $5000 in tariffs and then give you back $2000! This is clearly great for you and great for America.
But I still get a hammock right?
Trump suggesting any sort of UBI was not on my bingo card for this year. You just know there’s going to be some sort of catch.
If it’s means tested, then it’s not any sort of UBI because it’s not Universal.
One 2k check is not ubi.
Oh, lmao, I didn’t even realise it was a 1 time thing, but now that I re-read, it does say “dividend”. It’s basically a small bribe to placate him fleecing his angered masses.
Our premier did that as well, and it was quite effective at keeping him in office, IMO.
He’s starting to crack. He did this during the first presidency with the stimulus checks, and insisted on having it signed by him and not appearing as if it was from the government to boost his (and Republican) popularity. With the midterms approaching and this past week’s big wins for Democrats, he’s trying to buy votes.
That doesn’t even offset the higher cost of living caused by the tariffs in the first place. As usual, GOP writing “stimulus” checks to distract from the grift.
I’m sure it will be on the same day the doge checks hit.
When that perfect medical system to replace “Obamacare” kicks in.
I heard they’re going to do it on the last day of infrastructure week
You can expect them in about 2 weeks
Maybe two weeks after the “med beds”.
so the new magat plan is to try to buy the midterms using cash borrowed from our great-grandkids after they ‘save’ the country from the ‘democrat shutdown’?
