🇺🇸 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?

THE COST OF THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS EXPLODED.
Owning a home.
Buying groceries.
Driving to work.
Paying insurance.
Even your morning coffee.
Nearly every major household expense costs dramatically more than it did just a few years ago.
Over the last 7 years:
• Coffee: +127%
• Home prices: +60%
• Auto insurance: +51%
• Gasoline: +49%
• Electricity: +44%
• Shelter: +35%
• Groceries: +33%
And that's before paying for healthcare, transportation, or eating out.
This is why so many families feel like they're falling behind even when they get a raise.
The biggest financial problem for millions of Americans is that everything is going up at the same time, while the government keeps showing a 2% inflation target.
