We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
🇺🇸 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?

Ukrainian forces have begun training and testing exoskeletons for battlefield use. Soldiers from the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade are using them in the Pokrovsk sector for both logistics and frontline operations. The goal is to reduce physical strain, especially when loading heavy artillery shells into howitzers without automatic loaders. Artillery crews can handle up to 1200 kg of ammunition per day, and early tests show that exoskeletons help them work faster and with less fatigue Above all, by improving the conditions for those soldiers on the front lines who handle such heavy loads, plus the stress of work. Seeking to reduce overall fatigue in the troops

⚡🇺🇸 Rumors have emerged that President Trump is in the hospital as all roads leading to Walter Reed Medical Center have been cordoned off and a "lid" has been called today by the White House, meaning Trump won't appear in public.
The White House has denied the rumors and it is Saturday, but those are the rumors.
