🇺🇸 President Trump just announced the "tariff dividend," a payment of AT LEAST $2,000 per American.
We expect 85%+ of US adults to receive this, resulting in $400+ BILLION handed out.
All as US debt nears $40 trillion.
What's next? Let us explain.
This morning, President Trump made the below announcement:
A dividend of at least $2,000 per person will be paid, EXCLUDING "high income people."
The economic implications of such a massive "stimulus"-like payment are huge.
Especially with markets at record highs.
First, who will be receiving this payment?
Let's take a look at the most recent stimulus payment, the March 2021 $1,400 stimulus check.
Full payments were only made to:
Single filers making up to $75,000, households making up to $112,500, and married earners up to $150,000.
Now, let's apply this same criteria to 2025:
Currently, there are ~220 million US adults who fit these income criteria.
The top ~15% of earners would be excluded as "high income."
220 million x $2,000 = ~$440 BILLION handed out.
And, the check could be larger than $2,000.
These payments come at a time where the wealth gap is at record highs.
In Q2 2025, consumers in the top 10% of the income distribution accounted for 49.2% of total US spending.
This marks the highest level in data going back to 1989.
But, there's a big problem here.
As seen in 2021, stimulus checks massively boost spending.
However, the one-time "boost" is followed by a long period of high inflation.
Following the last round of stimulus, US inflation neared 10%.
Now, inflation is back on the rise, at 3%, and more stimulus is coming.
Trump also states that after this payment, tariff revenue will go toward paying US debt.
Over the last 5 years alone, total US debt has surged +$10 TRILLION.
Since the government shutdown began on October 1st, US debt is up +$600 billion.
Can we really afford more stimulus?

🇲🇽- Mexican Cartel Drone Operator seen stalking a Mexican Marine Convoy in Mazatlán.
This isn’t much of a surprise, Cartel members have reportedly been joining the Ukrainian Foreign Legions en masse to hone drone operation and close quarters combat skills.
Since many of them are starting to return home, and now training other members of their cartels, i wouldn’t be shocked to see a new level of militarization in these organizations.
📝 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 Mario Nawfal on X: Europe's riots are just the beginning. The real economic shock hasn't even arrived yet.
I spoke with economist Philip Pilkington about the unrest spreading across France, Italy and Albania.
He thinks we're watching the early stages of something much bigger.
One statistic really caught my attention.
According to Pilkington, France's inflation-adjusted household food consumption has fallen roughly 6.4% since 2022. He suspects the poorest households have suffered far steeper cuts.
Now add another surge in energy prices.
Pilkington pointed to rice futures rising 70% this year, wheat and sugar climbing 40%, and fertilizer shortages threatening next year's harvest.
His prediction is that the worst food inflation could arrive this winter or next spring.
And there's a political problem sitting right on top of it.
Governments across Europe are already deeply unpopular. People are struggling to afford basic necessities, and another prolonged energy ...
🇨🇦🇨🇦🗳 Alberta votes on leaving Canada; separatist movement likely to outlast expected defeat
Alberta holds a nonbinding referendum on Monday on whether the western province should secede from Canada, a debate many believe will not be settled by what is widely expected to be a defeat for the separatist cause.
Polls have consistently shown that a majority of Alberta voters oppose splitting from Canada. Economic grievances have fueled the independence campaign in the province, which is home to 5 million people and slightly smaller than Texas despite having one-sixth the population.
The Alberta separatist movement adds to the pressures on Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who has made defending Canada's sovereignty a central mission as he confronts US tariffs and President Donald Trump's repeated calls for Canada to become the 51st state.
Many Alberta separatists believe the Liberal Party-led federal government in Ottawa has constrained the Conservative-governed ...
My jaw literally dropped listening to this
There is a Muslim pilot who works for United Airlines that regularly makes pro-terrorist organizations posts on his social media
The Muslims name is Ibrahim Mossallam. He works on the Board of CAIR New York, which is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood
He made an October 7, 2023 Facebook post calling the Hamas attacks “resistance by a brave people.” United suspended him with pay while investigating but the Pilots Union got him his job back and he went back to flying planes in America
Since then the pilot has been temporarily resuspended for flying because of his extreme religious beliefs and posts but he is 100% still employed. He is still getting paid on suspension
I looked into this guy and he is VERY involved in Muslim organizations
