Former President Donald Trump has outlined a new economic proposal on Truth Social, describing a plan to fund a nationwide dividend using tariff revenue. In his post, Trump said the initiative would provide “a dividend of at least $2,000 per person (excluding high-income earners),” framing it as a way to return national wealth directly to Americans.
Despite the bold proposal, the specifics of the so-called “American Dividend” remain unclear. Trump did not outline how payments would be processed, who would qualify, or how oversight would work. Potential methods might include direct checks, tax credits, or offsets for essential expenses, though none have been formally suggested.
