"The $5,000 Trump Dividend, given to all Adults in the United States due to the fact that our Country is taking in Trillions of Dollars of Economic Development, Investment, and Pure SUCCESS ..."

Misleading

Investment announcements and tariff collections are both up, but neither is money that could pay for the dividend. Private investment does not go to the Treasury, actual new foreign investment in 2025 was $232.2 billion, and the revenue officials have named would cover only a fraction of the dividend's cost of more than $1.2 trillion.CRFB, FactCheck.org, BEA, NBC News
