Where the money will come from
Trump plans to finance the payments using profits collected from US tariffs. Speaking about the nation’s economic situation, he called America "the most respected and richest country in the world," noting record-breaking stock market indicators, low inflation, and strong investment growth.
According to Trump, tariffs have already generated trillions of dollars for the US government. Part of these funds will soon be directed toward reducing the national debt, which currently exceeds $37 trillion.
The politician also emphasized direct payments to citizens, made possible through tariff revenue.
"Record Investment in the US, plants and factories going up all over the place. A dividend of at $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone," Trump wrote.
