Aug 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said some Americans could get some kind of dividend or distribution of money as a result of tariffs being imposed on U.S. trading partners.

"There could be a distribution or a dividend to the people of our country, I would say for people that would be middle income people and lower income people, we could do a dividend," Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One after leaving his golf club in New Jersey.

Short article at post time.

1. Oh I'm certain that there will be a distribution...right into his pocket!

Who is in charge of reporting tariff collection! What is the balance so far?

[Marthe48]

2. That carrot will rot off the stick

Before any taxpayers ever see a dime.

However, picture traitor thug holding his pockets open to receive his own filthy lucre.

[BOSSHOG]

3. "There could be a distribution"

Many rubes still believe this shit so I’ll keep lying to you and keep loving those of you who keep believing my lies. This will take your mind off of the Epstein lies.

[surfered]

4. Cut out the middle man.

Instead of me paying 15% more for an imported item, just reduce the tariff to 13%. Unless he wants us to get a check with his signature on it.

5. Robbing Peter to pay Peter ...

w/overhead, handling, finance charges, etc. to Turnip's campaign fund.

6. Not dead yet.

Fuckin' fuck.

7. THAT'S SOCIALISM!

[speak easy]

8. Epstein!

[FakeNoose]

9. Here's an idea: Stop scamming us, stop charging tariffs, drop this nonsense, and prices will come back down

There ... fixed it!

10. Let's just call it what it is a Ponzie Scheme

When you take in money from someone and then promise them a profit but only send them back the same money plus money from others that were taken for the same reason it's a Ponzie Scheme. We paid the tarriffs and now he's saying he will pay us some back. Unfortunately a lot of the US is stupid enough to believe it's some kind of profit.

This is assuming they try and do it of course, it could be just another one of his distractions.

11. I see, you'll take $100 from me, and give me back $10... boy, am I happy now 😵‍💫

[FakeNoose]

15. Exactly right

It's just another one of his - MANY - scams!

[ashredux]

12. What's really sad, is that the stupid bastard still thinks the foreign countries actually pay a tariff....

He does not understand now, and never will understand, how the economics of this…. He really is just plain old stupid.

[William Seger]

17. Willful ignorance is indistinguishable from stupidity (nt)

[Ritabert]

13. I won't hold my breath.

[John1956PA]

14. Just like there was going to be a distribution because of the DOGE savings. It's all B.S.

[travelingthrulife]

16. More autographed checks of our own money to fool the rubes.

[Paladin]

18. In plain English: Not a chance in hell of a "dividend."

You'd have to be stupid enough to vote for trump, to believe this shit.

[PortTack]

19. Distribution all right! 50% in his off shore accounts, 25% in his direct deposit, 15% in his slush fund,

4% in his clothing allowance account….oh and 1% to baron

[El Mimbreno]

20. Reuters lies!

"tariffs being imposed on U.S. trading partners"

Bullshit! Tariffs are actually imposed on US businesses that import goods and are ultimately paid by US consumers.

But WE already knew that.

[KPN]

21. So now the prick is trying to buy the people's support with

the people's money! And idiots will praise him for it. Slippery bastard.

[Midnight Writer]

22. He also just said he would use tariff revenue to pay down the debt.

He is flailing. He has no idea what he is doing, and, what's more, he doesn't care.

This is all about HIM and playing to his severe personality disorders.

[PSPS]

23. LOL. "there could be distribution"

The operative word here is "could"
I guess we'll all know "in two weeks"
So far, the estimate is the trump tax costs everyone $3K per year.
