Washington DC - President Donald Trump recently took aim at critics of his controversial tariffs, which he claims will help provide massive rebate checks for struggling Americans.

On Sunday, the president shared a Truth Social post in which he lamented that those against his tariffs are "FOOLS!" and claimed the policies have made the country "the Richest, Most Respected Country In the World, With Almost No Inflation, and A Record Stock Market Price."

"We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion," Trump wrote.

"A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone," he added.

Trump's comments come as the Supreme Court considers a case involving his use of emergency powers to impose so-called "reciprocal" tariffs on nearly every US trade partner.

Critics have argued that the tariffs have caused unnecessary tension with foreign allies and that many companies have passed the tariff costs onto consumers.

A lower court previously deemed Trump's policies an overreach of power.

In a report released in September, the Treasury Department claimed to have pulled in $195 billion since Trump first implemented the tariffs in April.

Trump has teased the idea of rebate checks before, telling reporters in July that "A little rebate for people of a certain income level might be very nice."
