Washington, D.C. — In a landmark announcement today, President Donald Trump revealed his plan to turn the United States into a public corporation. The new entity will be called “United States Incorporated.”
Trump said the idea came from his long experience in running successful businesses. He explained that every American citizen will receive 100 shares in the new corporation. “People should own their country, literally,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
According to Trump, the U.S. Treasury will manage the initial offering, and NASDAQ is expected to handle the first public listing. Shares will be tradable online through platforms like Robinhood and E*TRADE.
Each state will operate as a subsidiary, and governors will become regional CEOs. The Department of Commerce will act as the corporate board, overseeing trade and economic growth.
Financial analysts on Bloomberg called the plan “a bold mix of capitalism and patriotism.” Markets reacted positively, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 3% after the news.
Trump concluded, “It’s time America starts paying dividends to its people.” The first earnings report for United States Inc. is expected next quarter.
