President Trump: “Are You A Citizen? Because You’re Gonna Get a Lot of Money”

Here’s a short but sweet article for you.

Just enough to get you mind spinning.

President Trump recently made a very interesting statement.

Was he talking about tariffs?

Because tariff deadlines are set for August 1st for many countries.

But it seems like Trump is referring to something else.

He speaks about a budget surplus that comes from the tariffs.

So what does he plan on doing with that surplus?

LISTEN for yourself:

.@POTUS on tariffs: "Payments start on August 1st… they have to start paying billions of dollars… you're going to be getting a lot of money."

..because you’re gonna get a lot of money.”

ABC News points some details on the deadline:

What is Trump’s Aug. 1 tariff deadline?

A slew of steep, country-specific tariffs will take effect on Aug. 1 unless targeted nations reach a trade deal with the U.S. beforehand, the White House said earlier this month.

Examples include a 50% tariff on Brazil, a 35% tariff on Canada, a 30% tariff on the EU and Mexico, and 25% tariffs on Japan and South Korea. Each of those countries is among the top exporters of goods to the U.S.

Smaller trade partners are also set to face tariffs. Cambodia and Bangladesh, two key sources of apparel imports, will face tariffs of 36% and 35%, respectively.

The tariffs resemble levies that were placed on more than 90 countries on April 2. Those reciprocal tariffs were delayed hours after they took effect, when the stock market reacted with its worst single-day performance since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump has sent letters to leaders of dozens of countries outlining the tariff levels set to begin on Aug. 1.

Some are guessing that Trump is referring to DOGE.

And looking at the Debt Clock, it shows DOGE is saving per citizen. And it’s now at $5K.  Some think that when it hits $5K, thats when it triggers a payment.

That would be fantastic if they do distribute that to us.

.@Juliesnark1731 Now let's ADD a new layer. President Trump says PAYMENT START AUGUST 1, is he referring to the DOGE counter ?? Remember they floated the idea of a $5,000 Doge Dividend?? we are THERE. A dividend is ON GOING. Will it be MONTHLY??? pic.twitter.com/oJbyVfp9pv

If you go to the debt clock site, you’ll see this very interestsing graph pop up first.

It’s like someone is trying to educate the people about how the Fed system is terrible for our money and that there is another way:
