President Trump said most Americans would receive a $2,000 dividend from tariff revenue, announcing the idea on Truth Social and blasting opponents as “FOOLS.” He claimed the windfall would help pay down $37 trillion in debt, but offered no plan; Congress would likely need to approve the payments, which could run into hundreds of billions. The post capped a rough week: Supreme Court justices, including Chief Justice John G. Roberts, were skeptical of his tariff authority, and Democrats notched Tuesday wins. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he has not discussed the proposal with Trump.
