Trumpâs $2,000 Tariff Giveaway â Except If Youâre Rich, Obviously
In a display worthy of the drama genre, Donald Trump announced on his very own Truth Social that most Americans will get a 'dividend' payment of at least $2,000 from tariff revenues â but donât get any bright ideas if youâre 'high income.' He insists the US now takes in 'trillions of dollars' thanks to his sweeping tariffs, justified by the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (because nothing says emergency like fees on imports). Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is trying to decide if all this tariff extravaganza is even legal, as Trump commits to slashing the $37 trillion national debt, presumably with Monopoly money. This revelation came on a lazy Sunday in November 2025, proving that weekends belong to tariff theatrics and debt dreams.

Trumpâs tariff plan is a government pay-it-forward scheme: tariffs hit your wallet first, then he tosses a $2,000 bone if youâre not rich. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court judges try to find the fine print between âemergency powersâ and âmildly inconvenient legal jargon.â
Giving $2,000 from tariffs might sound generousâuntil you remember itâs the consumer paying the tax upfront. Congrats to âmost Americansâ for getting a debt-funded participation trophy, excluding cash-rich freeloaders.
Trumpâs plan: Take trillions in tariffs, send some back as dividends, but donât worry if the Supreme Court calls foul. Itâs like robbing your neighbor then inviting them to a potluck with their own casserole.
