What to know about Trump’s plan to give Americans a $2,000 tariff dividend

President Donald Trump boasts that his tariffs protect American industries, lure factories to the United States, raise money for the federal government and give him diplomatic leverage.

Now, he’s claiming they can finance a windfall for American families, too: He’s promising a generous tariff dividend.

The president proposed the idea on his Truth Social media platform Sunday, five days after his Republican Party lost elections in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere largely because of voter discontent with his economic stewardship — specifically, the high cost of living.

The tariffs are bringing in so much money, the president posted, that “a dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.’’

Budget experts scoffed at the idea, which conjured memories of the Trump administration’s short-lived plan for DOGE dividend checks financed by billionaire Elon Musk’s federal budget cuts.

They lie all the time... like the boasts he made about attacking boats that he is stopping more people from getting drugs than the number of people in the United States. His numbers never add up!

The tariffs are certainly raising money — $195 billion in the budget year that ended Sept. 30, up 153% from $77 billion in fiscal 2024. But they still account for less than 4% of federal revenue and have done little to dent the federal budget deficit — a staggering $1.8 trillion in fiscal 2025.

You know that this is an old conman's trick. Promise them the sky, six months later they have forgotten about it and they give them nothing.

The thing is, that the "marks" are wising up to his tactics. He does it so often that people are noticing and are going sour on him.  Trump's polling numbers makes him good company with Nixon and Bush, W.
