Former US President Donald Trump is back in the limelight with some eye-popping ideas on how to help Americans with their money troubles. On social media, he called for giving every American a $2,000 dividend payment, claiming these payments could be funded by the tariffs he has imposed around the world. This plan reminds many of the stimulus checks Trump sent out during the Covid pandemic, which were a big deal back then. But hold your horses! The economic numbers tell a different tale. According to the US Treasury Department, customs revenues — which include tariffs — have only risen by $179 billion from January to September this year. This is nowhere near the "trillions of dollars" Trump boasts about. Adding to the drama, the US Supreme Court is now looking into whether these tariffs are even legal. Meanwhile, Trump’s spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, said the White House is "committed" to making the dividend plan happen and is exploring legal ways to do it. However, she warned there is "no timeline" for when these dividend checks might start rolling out. Why all this fuss? The cost of living in the US is on everyone’s mind, especially after Democrats won big in recent elections in New Jersey, New York, and Virginia. Voters there are fed up with rising prices and want relief. But wait, there’s more! Trump also dropped a bombshell idea on homeowners: offering 50-year mortgages instead of the usual 30 years. "It's not even a big deal," Trump told Fox News. "All it means is you pay less per month, you pay it over a longer period of time." Sounds simple, right? Not everyone agrees. Some supporters from Trump's MAGA movement are upset because longer loans mean more interest paid to banks over time. US news reports say even top White House aides were unhappy with Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte for throwing the 50-year mortgage idea out there without enough discussion.
