President Donald Trump announced that Americans can expect a $2K payment from the collected tariff revenue while calling those who oppose tariffs, “FOOLS!” Great and true fools.
President Trump’s Truth Social announcement comes as the Supreme Court is considering the legality of the tariffs.“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. We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion,” Trump wrote. “Record Investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place. A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone,” the president added
Any such payment would likely need congressional approval before the dividends could be issued. Acording to the Treasury Department, revenue from President Trump’s tariffs amounted to $215.2 billion in fiscal year 2025, which ended on September 30th. The Supreme Court heard arguments earlier this week on whether the president’s tariffs were legally enacted through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
The justices appeared skeptical of the president’s authority to impose the tariffs, expressing concerns that the levies were introduced as a revenue-raising measure rather than a pathway to addressing an economic emergency caused by trade imbalance. It is currently unclear when the Supreme Court will issue a ruling on the matter. However, President Trump recently stated that his administration will “have to develop a game two plan.”
