President Donald Trump on Sunday claimed that a “dividend of at least $2000 a person” will be paid to all Americans except for “high-income people,” saying the country is now wealthy as a result of his tariff policies.
“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. 401k’s are Highest EVER,” the president wrote.
Trump suggesting any sort of UBI was not on my bingo card for this year. You just know there’s going to be some sort of catch.
One 2k check is not ubi.
Oh, lmao, I didn’t even realise it was a 1 time thing, but now that I re-read, it does say “dividend”. It’s basically a small bribe to placate him fleecing his angered masses.
Our premier did that as well, and it was quite effective at keeping him in office, IMO.
If it’s means tested, then it’s not any sort of UBI because it’s not Universal.
