Trump just dropped an interesting claim over the weekend - apparently every American (well, except the wealthy ones) is getting at least a $2,000 check. His reasoning? The tariff strategy he's been pushing is supposedly making the nation richer.

Whether this actually materializes or not remains to be seen, but it's definitely a bold statement. The idea is that tariff revenues are flowing in enough to fund these direct payments to citizens. Of course, high earners won't qualify for this proposed dividend.

From a markets perspective, this kind of fiscal policy talk - especially involving direct cash distributions - could move things around. More money in regular people's pockets typically means more spending power, which tends to ripple through various asset classes. Something to keep an eye on as this develops.
