President Donald Trump declared on Sunday that most Americans would receive at least $2,000 from tariff revenue, calling opponents of his trade policies 'fools' whilst the Supreme Court weighs whether his sweeping duties are even legal. The promise arrives as the administration faces the biggest legal challenge yet to the cornerstone of Trump's economic agenda, with justices from across the ideological spectrum expressing deep scepticism about the president's unilateral authority to impose such far-reaching taxes.
'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', Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone'.
