On November 9th, Anthony Pompliano, author of the financial newsletter The Pomp Letter, commented on "Trump's statement today that he will pay every American at least $2,000 in tariff dividends": "If Trump really does hand out $2,000 from tariffs to citizens, then history may regard the panic rhetoric of April 2025 as one of the most foolish mainstream consensuses our generation has ever seen. The $2,000 tariff dividend per person will also release significant liquidity into the market."
Earlier today, Trump tweeted: "Those who oppose tariffs are fools! We are now the richest and most respected country in the world, with near-zero inflation and a record stock market. 401k retirement account balances are also at an all-time high. We earn trillions of dollars annually and will soon be able to begin paying off our massive $37 trillion debt. Investment in the United States is at an all-time high, and factories and businesses are springing up like mushrooms. We will pay at least $2,000 in bonuses to everyone (excluding high-income earners!)."
