TRUMP ANNOUNCES 2,000 TARIFF DIVIDEND FOR AMERICANS President Donald Trump announced a 2,000 payment to most Americans, funded by U.S. tariff revenues. In a Truth Social post, he said the U.S. is collecting “trillions of dollars” in tariffs and will use the money to reduce national debt and reward citizens—excluding high-income earners. Trump called tariff critics “fools” and claimed the U.S. is now the “richest, most respected country in the world,” citing record stock markets and 401(k) values.(*Walter Bloomberg)
