Trump Floats Tariff-Funded “Dividend” Checks

[cryptoenthusiast]

Former President Donald Trump proposed giving every American taxpayer a $1,000–$2,000 dividend, funded directly from tariff revenues. In a Thursday interview with One America News Network, Trump suggested that tariffs collected from foreign nations could provide hundreds of billions in revenue for the initiative. The plan would require congressional approval and could also be used to pay down federal debt.

Interesting proposal—tying tariffs to direct payments could reshape economic policy if it gains traction.

This move sounds populist but could inject temporary market optimism if implemented. Let’s see how it unfolds.
