President Donald Trump wants to give American taxpayers a financial boost. He took to Truth Social in the fall to propose a $2,000 dividend per person, excluding high-income earners. The president explained in a separate post that funds for this dividend would come from tariffs on foreign goods, vowing that the money would provide relief to U.S. citizens and help the nation.
He said any remaining funds from the $2,000 payments provided to low- and middle-income Americans, generated through significant tariff revenue collected from other nations, will be directed toward meaningfully reducing the national debt.
