Trump's New Spin on a DOGE Dividend Stimulus Check
Trump Champions DOGE Dividend Support; Exploring Potential Reasons Behind His Decision
Donald Trump loves leaving his mark - on buildings, steaks, and now, possibly, stimulus checks? During a speech in Miami, Trump suggested that his administration is considering a plan to give 20% of Dogecoin's (DOGE) savings back to the public, courtesy of the Department of Government Efficiency.
In his speech, Trump hinted, "There's even under consideration a new concept where we give 20 percent of the DOGE savings to American citizens. The numbers are incredible, Elon, so many millions, billions, hundreds of billions."
This idea doesn't sit far from Trump's usual wheelhouse, with its appeal hitting two favorite themes: branding and sending out money. It's no surprise that proponents argue these checks would likely bear Trump's name – a move that, as noted in a TaxVox report, could slow down the delivery of economic impact payments.
The Appeal of the DOGE Dividend
Trump has never shied away from direct payments to Americans before, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. Despite criticisms, he made sure his name was emblazoned on these stimulus checks. After all, who can deny the power of money landing in people's bank accounts, inscribed with the President's name?
The Washington Post commented back in 2020 that "Trump has repeatedly called the [stimulus payment] legislation 'a Trump administration initiative' and placed himself singularly at the center of what the government is doing to help Americans during the coronavirus response – taking full credit."
The Branding Gamble
The DOGE Dividend is a catchy concept with the alliteration and buzz required to land among Trump's campaign talking points. The plan was first proposed by James Fishback, CEO of Azoria Investment Firm. But Trump's comments have cast a spotlight on this topic, linking it to his financial acumen and cost-cutting efforts.
The question remains: Will DOGE savings generate the $2 trillion in savings Musk has promised? Projections suggest otherwise. Budget experts at MarketWatch are skeptical, estimating savings at just $4 billion—slightly over a tenth of its target. It falls short in clarity and feasibility.
The Political Gain for a DOGE Dividend
Trump understands that the pitch of a potential $5,000 DOGE Dividend is compelling, whether or not it ever materializes. The idea of sending more stimulus checks with his name on them might be too hard to resist. But remember, branding is often the star, with execution often taking a back seat.
Despite the uncertainties, the idea holds interest, providing some political gain. Though its feasibility is questionable, the political appeal of running with this proposal seems hard to ignore for Trump.
