Former President Donald Trump has outlined a new economic proposal on Truth Social, calling for a nationwide dividend funded by tariff revenue. He said the plan would provide “a dividend of at least $2,000 per person,” excluding high-income earners.
According to Trump, the proposal would rely on tariffs imposed on imported goods. A portion of the revenue generated would then be redistributed directly to U.S. citizens.
The idea is framed as a way to shift economic burden onto foreign exporters while returning money to American households. Trump argues this approach would strengthen the domestic economy.
