- He asserted that tariff revenues are bringing in trillions of dollars and said the government would begin paying down the national debt.
- He promised a dividend of at least $2,000 per person for many Americans, framing it as enabled by tariffs and excluding high-income earners.
- In a follow-up post signed "President DJT," he claimed the country would not have the stated economic benefits without tariffs.
- The court fight continues as the Supreme Court weighs his tariff powers after lower courts found the policy an overreach, and critics in both parties object to his retaliatory measures against allies.
