Vance is cautious about Trump’s dividend: ‘It won’t go to the rich; it will be paid for by tariffs’

JD Vance is cautious about the $5,000 ‘Trump dividend’ for Americans should the Republicans win the election. “What the President is saying is that if the Republicans remain in power, Americans will reap the benefits of the incredible wealth created,” he explained, dismissing criticism from those who have accused him of trying to ‘buy votes’.

The vice-president made it clear that the funds would not go to the wealthiest and that the payments could be financed through revenue from tariffs. According to preliminary estimates, the measure would cost well over 1,000 billion dollars, exceeding the revenue from tariffs.
