As reported at the NY Post, President Donald trump is floating the idea of a $2,000 payment for every American as a tariff dividend. It would appear the payment will be means tested.
President Donald Trump promised a $2,000 payment for every American as a tariff “dividend,” in a post Sunday morning.
The post comes after the Supreme Court questioned the legality of his use of emergency powers to impose sweeping new tariffs on nearly every country on Earth.
“A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone,” read Trump’s post on Truth Social.
Trump provided no details on who exactly would be eligible, or when the payments might go out.
But Bessent explained to ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that the tariff dividends might not be direct payments.
