Breaking News: Trump Dangles “Venezuela Oil Dividend” Check, Assures Americans It’s Definitely Real and Definitely in the Mail

In a bold new chapter of economic policy that experts are calling “legally adventurous” and “mostly vibes,” President Trump announced Tuesday that Americans could soon receive a “Venezuela Oil Dividend” check, assuming everything goes according to plan, the oil cooperates, and reality agrees to play along.

Standing before a giant chart labeled OIL = CHECKS, the President teased that proceeds from a recent, extremely successful, very quiet raid on Venezuela would soon be “shared directly with the people,” much like stimulus checks, except oilier, more patriotic, and somehow already printed with his signature.

“It’s a beautiful dividend. Tremendous oil. The best oil,” Trump said, explaining that Venezuela has “so much oil they don’t even miss it,” and that Americans deserve a cut because “we’re the ones who really discovered it by noticing it on a map.”

According to administration officials, the proposed checks could range anywhere from $1,200 to “whatever number feels right at the time,” and may arrive via direct deposit, mail, or be personally thrown into crowds at rallies.

When asked how the dividend would work legally, Trump waved off concerns. “People said the Constitution would be a problem. Total nonsense. The Constitution loves oil. Everybody knows that.”

Supporters at the event cheered wildly, chanting “DRILL, BABY, MAIL!” while holding up mock checks reading FROM VENEZUELA, WITH LOVE. One attendee said she planned to use her dividend to “finally fix inflation,” while another said he would frame the check and never cash it, “like the NFT of foreign policy.”

Critics, meanwhile, questioned whether seizing another country’s oil and redistributing the proceeds might violate international law. Trump responded by announcing a new doctrine: “If it fits in a tanker, it fits in the budget.”

The White House later clarified that the dividend is still in the “concepts of a check” phase but emphasized that announcing it now was crucial to helping Americans “feel richer emotionally,” which the administration considers a leading economic indicator.

As the President boarded Air Force One, he reassured reporters that details would come later. “Trust me,” he said. “You’re gonna love this check. It’s gonna be huge. Possibly gold. Definitely oil-adjacent.”

At press time, the Treasury Department was reportedly Googling “How to turn crude oil into freedom.”

Trump Says Ukraine War Caused by Stolen 2020 Election; Ends Conflict Instantly with Confidence

At a joint press conference this week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy , U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping new theory of international relations, asserting that the Russian invasion of Ukraine would never have occurred if the 2020 U.S. presidential election had not been “stolen from him personally.” “This war,” Trump said, gesturing broadly toward Eastern Europe, “is really about me. Everybody knows it. If I were president, this would not have happened. Putin would have been too scared. Tremendously scared.” Standing beside him, Zelensky maintained a diplomatic expression usually reserved for situations involving translation errors or mild food poisoning. Trump continued, explaining that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was not the result of decades of post-Cold War tension, NATO expansion debates, or Russian imperial ambition, but rather a direct consequence of Trump not being in the White House at the time. “Putin respects strength,” Trump said. “And by streng...

Trump’s Prime-Time Address Assures Americans the Economy Is Perfect—Suggests They’re Just Too Stupid to Notice

In an unexpected return to prime-time television, President Donald J. Trump delivered a 28-minute national address Wednesday night designed, according to his staff, to “clear up confusion about the economy.” The resulting speech instead raised questions about whether he had accidentally wandered onto the soundstage during a pharmaceutical infomercial. “Ladies and gentlemen, the American economy is the strongest, the bigliest, the most incredible it has ever been,” Trump announced, gripping the lectern as if it had personally wronged him. “If you can’t see that, well… maybe you’re just not very smart. Not everyone can be smart. I’m very smart. But most of you, frankly? Not so much.” Economic experts, who had spent the previous week offering cautious optimism mixed with concern about rising costs, were surprised to learn that the entire issue was simply a matter of insufficient national intelligence. “Normally we talk about inflation, interest rates, employment trends,” said economist Da...

Trump Unveils Bold New Healthcare Vision: Trumpcare, Which Is Totally Different From Obamacare Except for the Parts That Are the Same

In a dazzling Rose Garden announcement complete with golden bunting, a fog machine, and a choir humming “Hail to the Chief” in a minor key, President Donald J. Trump unveiled what he called “the most spectacular, most terrific, most everybody-is-saying-so healthcare plan in American history.” He dubbed it Trumpcare™ —a revolutionary system in which the federal government will give money directly to people so that they can better afford their own healthcare. “Folks, it’s simple,” Trump proclaimed, flanked by several cardboard cutouts of himself in a lab coat. “Under Trumpcare, instead of the government being involved—terrible idea, horrible—we’re going to give people money so they can pay for their healthcare. Total freedom. The best freedom.” The audience applauded, though several appeared to be staffers who had been instructed to clap every time Trump paused to breathe. A Reporter Dares to Ask During the Q&A portion—limited to 30 seconds and only reporters who had pre-approved ...
