Trump promises $2,000 payments to most Americans during Sunday morning Truth Social posting spree [View all]

Source: Independent

President Donald Trump promised to pay almost all Americans $2,000 as he touts his tariff plan in a Truth Social posting spree.

As part of his multi-post rant touting tariffs, the president promised: “ A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.”

It’s not immediately clear when that payment would come or who qualifies as “high income.” The president mentioned no other details about the payment.

“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,” Trump wrote Sunday morning.
