Donal Trump makes BIG statement, calls people ‘Fools’ who are…

Washington: Amid the ongoing tariff row, United States President Donald Trump on Sunday again backed the tariff policy, stating that those who are opposing it are fools. He claimed that the tariffs imposed by his administration have made the country “the richest, most respected country in the world, with almost no inflation.” The 47th US President also assured that the people of the country – except the wealthy – will soon receive USD 2,000 from tariff revenues.

Trump took to his Truth Social account and slammed the critics of the trade policy. “People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!” he wrote, boasting that his administration had turned the United States into “the richest, most respected country in the world, with almost no inflation, and a record stock market price,” he said.

He also assured that his administration will soon start the process of paying a dividend of at least USD2,000 a person (not including high-income people) to all Americans.

Record-Breaking Economic Achievements

The US President further stated that the country has achieved record-breaking economic achievements. “401k’s are highest EVER,” he wrote, adding that “plants and factories (are) going up all over the place,” he wrote on Truth Social.

However, he didn’t provide specific details on how the dividend will take effect and will be distributed to the people.
