Trump says there could be distribution of money from tariff revenues

Source: Reuters

Aug 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said some Americans could get some kind of dividend or distribution of money as a result of tariffs being imposed on U.S. trading partners.

"There could be a distribution or a dividend to the people of our country, I would say for people that would be middle income people and lower income people, we could do a dividend," Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One after leaving his golf club in New Jersey.

Instead of me paying 15% more for an imported item, just reduce the tariff to 13%. Unless he wants us to get a check with his signature on it.

When you take in money from someone and then promise them a profit but only send them back the same money plus money from others that were taken for the same reason it's a Ponzie Scheme. We paid the tarriffs and now he's saying he will pay us some back. Unfortunately a lot of the US is stupid enough to believe it's some kind of profit.

This is assuming they try and do it of course, it could be just another one of his distractions.

"tariffs being imposed on U.S. trading partners"

Bullshit! Tariffs are actually imposed on US businesses that import goods and are ultimately paid by US consumers.

But WE already knew that.

He is flailing. He has no idea what he is doing, and, what's more, he doesn't care.

This is all about HIM and playing to his severe personality disorders.

The operative word here is "could"
I guess we'll all know "in two weeks"
So far, the estimate is the trump tax costs everyone $3K per year.
