Another day, another Donald Trump happening that\u2019s sparked debate.<\/p>\n

The president has made all manner of lofty promises over the past year, both prior to and since his victory in the presidential election. We\u2019re still waiting on the release of the Epstein files, for example, while the Russia-Ukraine war continues to rage despite Trump\u2019s assertion that he would end it before he even arrived at the Oval Office to begin his second term.<\/p>\n

To put it mildly, one should perhaps not believe everything that Trump pledges to make true. Which is why a moment\u2019s pause is needed before US citizens get excited about receiving a $2,000 dividend to be distributed from what Trump claimed was tariff revenue.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Naturally, that\u2019s easier said than done. Who doesn\u2019t want to get $2,000 in their bank account for doing nothing? Particularly when they\u2019ve been promised it by the country\u2019s leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cA dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the post in question, he neglected to elaborate on a potential timeline, exactly who would be eligible for the dividend, and who wouldn\u2019t be eligible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In typically bombastic fashion, Trump painted a hyperbolic picture of his tariff program, declaring it an astonishing success.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople that are against Tariffs are FOOLS! We are now the Richest, Most Respected Country In the World, With Almost No Inflation, and A Record Stock Market Price. 401k\u2019s are Highest EVER,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion. Record Investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps predictably, doubts were cast on Trump\u2019s plan to hand out $2000 to everyone. The Guardian delved a little deeper into the potential problems with such a huge undertaking on the government\u2019s part, with analysts pointing out that there are two major hurdles.<\/p>\n

The first is cost. Such a payment could cost between $300 billion and $513 billion, depending on whether children count and which adults are eligible.<\/p>\n

Economist Erica York wrote: \u201cIf the cutoff is $100,000, 150M adults would qualify, for a cost near $300 billion. \u2026 Adjusting for that, tariffs have raised $90 billion of net revenues compared to Trump\u2019s proposed $300 billion rebate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second issue is the legal challenges associated with the tariffs themselves, which is where any and all money for dividends would com from.<\/p>\n

Recently, the Supreme Court of the United States heard arguments in cases challenging the president\u2019s use of emergency\u2010powers law to implement the tariffs. Three lower courts already ruled the approach illegal, and if the tariffs collapse in court, any planned or perceived system resulting in a payout would disappear.<\/p>\n

To sum it up, Trump might promise unexpected, too-good-to-be-true dividends, but until he makes clear who\u2019s eligible and when the payout might be made, and until he can categorically clarify the future of his tariff model, the whole thing seems\u2026 optimistic, shall we say.<\/p>\n

In any case, probably a good idea that you don\u2019t spend the $2,000 before it actually lands in your account.<\/p>\n
