The Boomerang Effect in Reverse: What Happens If Trump Succeeds?
If Trump delivers the $2,000 dividend, even once, he will achieve something unprecedented in modern policy history.

-
Transform his political legacy
-
Cement his influence on economic policy
-
Shift public expectations permanently
-
Create a template future administrations may follow
-
Strengthen his standing among economically stressed voters
-
Trigger global debate about tariff-funded dividends
It would be one of the most consequential financial interventions by a U.S. president in decades.
