Former President Donald Trump proposed a plan on Truth Social to fund a nationwide dividend using tariffs on foreign imports. He promised that every American—except high-income earners—would receive at least $2,000.
The strategy is simple: generate revenue by taxing imports and return some of it directly to U.S. citizens. Trump argued that opponents of tariffs are “fools” and claimed that the U.S. is currently the richest, most respected country, with low inflation and record stock market highs.
However, key details remain unclear, including how the dividend would be distributed. Possible options include tax rebates or healthcare credits, but no official framework has been released.
