President Donald Trump said Sunday that people who do not support tariffs are "fools" and vowed to use the revenue generated from duties to fund a $2,000 dividend for Americans.
"People 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," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. "A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high-income people!) will be paid to everyone," he added.
