Donald Trump promises to give $2,000 to almost ‘everyone’ in US – who will receive the payout
Another day, another headline from Donald Trump that’s turning heads.
The former president has never been shy about making big promises — from releasing the Epstein files to claiming he’d end the Russia-Ukraine war “before even sitting down in the Oval Office.” Now, Trump is at it again, this time vowing to hand out $2,000 payments to “almost everyone” in the United States.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump declared, “A dividend of at least $2,000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.” According to him, the funds would come directly from tariff revenue, which he described as a massive success for the U.S. economy.
“People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!” he wrote. “We are now the Richest, Most Respected Country In the World, With Almost No Inflation, and A Record Stock Market Price. We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT.”
While the promise has sparked excitement, Trump failed to mention when the payments might be made or who exactly qualifies. Without details, the announcement feels more like political theater than policy — at least for now.
