Trump proposes $2000 stimulus check for low-income people

[beasted]

As of Wednesday, Nov. 12, White House press secretary Karoline Levitt said President Donald Trump remains "committed" to a $2000 tariff rebate dividend payment for most Americans. Here's when and what to know.

"The president made it clear he wants to make it happen," Leavitt told reporters at the White House. "So his team of economic advisers are looking into it."

Leavitt said White House officials are exploring ways to execute Trump's tariff dividend payment plan that he announced would be distributed from tariff revenue. Her comments came in contrast to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's earlier comments about how such a plan might work.

...said on his social media account, "People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS! We are now the Richest, Most Respected Country In the World, With Almost No Inflation, and A Record Stock Market Price. 401k’s are Highest EVER. We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion. Record Investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place."

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

Erica York, a policy expert at the Tax Foundation, said in a post on X, "If the cutoff is $100,000, 150M adults would qualify, for a cost near $300 billion. If kids qualify, that grows. Only problem, new tariffs have raised $120 billion so far."

He will do everything he can to ruin this country as long as it serves as a distraction from the release of the Epstein files. Supposedly, rather than paying down the debt now, he'd rather inflate the economy. He is morally opposed to programs like Medicaid, SSDI, and SNAP, but is willing to indiscriminately send out checks.

It's about immediate impact. Social safety net programs are a long-term expense. But he figures that if he hands some people that have $100 in checking on a good day 2 grand and they live somewhere where rent is 400 a month or whatever and the poor red state idiots that voted for him against their own best interests but are getting mad over the cost of beef, Epstein files and whatever else may start l iking him again.

I wasn't saying it wasn't a good strategic move for pulling the puppet strings, but it is definitely contradictory towards lowering the debt and building a stronger economy.

Dollars circulate in no time in the communities of the proposed recipients, so this will immediately go towards inflating the economy just like the last stimulus checks did.

[Bill Gates]

This will have the exact same effect as the covid checks. High inflation.

And all of the money will trickle up to the wealthy within just a months time. People like Bezos will see their net worth double. Trillionaires will be a thing.

Dementia Donny is just talking out of his ass. But his ego is too massive to take it back now, so everyone has to act like they're actually looking into $2,000 checks. The fact is that they're going to sweep it under the rug.

Everything is a distraction from the Epstein files and doing everything he can to raise his abysmal ratings. He only cares about himself and never cared about anyone else. We can go back decades, and it's obvious. Most MAGA, including the evangelicals who supported him in droves, know little or nothing about his past before 2015. Sin and scamming people is all he has known most of his public life.

President Trump on Monday promised the government would pay out $2,000 tariff dividend checks starting around mid-2026.

Why it matters: Putting a timetable on the checks is a significant step forward versus just suggesting the idea, which Trump has done multiple times this year.

But the dividends would require legislation, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said last weekend, and it's not clear if Congress has the appetite.

We're going to be issuing dividends later on, somewhere prior to, you know, probably the middle of next year, a little bit later than that. Thousands of dollars for individuals of moderate income, middle income," Trump said in remarks to reporters in the Oval Office.

A tariff dividend in the middle of 2026 would mean the government would be putting a huge check in most voters' pockets on the eve of crucial midterm elections.

Such a large and broad distribution could also risk reigniting inflation, as past stimulus checks have done.

The administration is aggressively fighting a growing affordability crisis, arguing that it has inflation under control and will bring prices down next year.

no different than passing the spending bill right after election dumbass.

very different. these tariffs were imposed by trump, it's a tax that Americans pay and are feeling the economic effect. it's ruining the global and local economy. very much in line with his tactics: create a problem>solve problem>take credit

speaking of tarrifs, didn't he just rollback some of them bc of sky high prices on those items?

[Patrick Chewing]

I'm gonna blow those 2000 dollars on hookers.

C'mon, you think everyone is as gullible as MAGA? Anything Trump says is the Gospel for MAGA. Don't you get exhausted of "ALL THE WINNING"?

[Bill Gates]

It is possible this could help with midterms, but it is death sentence for the 2028 election. Because the country will be deeply entrenched in all the inflation from this. Just like the covid checks. Get ready for $20 cheeseburgers at McDonalds. And there will be no Democrats to point at, it will be all on MAGA.

This post is a perfect example of why the country will forever be in turmoil.

"X" president doesn't do enough to help stuff and the next guy comes along and says "the last guy was terrible, but watch what I'm about to do!"

And then the sheep vote for him. And then he gets in office and doesn't actually help things.

And then instead of people saying "hey, what about the stuff you said you would do?" They get mad again at president "Y" and the cycle repeats itself.



Didn't Biden blame a bunch of stuff on Trump and his handling of COVID and win as a result? Didn't Trump blame Biden for rising costs and win as a result? Isn't he lying blatantly in everyone's face about over $200B he's saved us through DOGE? Isn't he lying about the benefits of HR1?

Isn't the next guy going to just repeat the cycle andsay how Trump wrecked the economy with his tax cuts for the rich, and failure to do anything to help the cost of Healthcare, and rising inflation and unemployment and going to likely win as a result?

You idiots keep looking for a guy to blame instead of realizing the whole system is rigged with idiot politicians with lobbyists and billionaires in their ear.

Sorry but unlike you and Brandon, I actually don't suffer from dementia. I vividly remember democrats begging for lockdowns during Covid so they could tank the economy and undermine Trump heading into the election.

Republicans pleaded to keep the country open so we could preserve the economy, but democrats said they were evil racists that just wanted to kill your grandma. Saving as many lives as possible was more important you guys said. We HAD to lock down. You HAD to close your business.

If you were one of those people cheering on the lockdowns, and I'm certain you were because you toe the line for democrats 100% of the time, then you're in no position to talk.

100% BS fed to you from your echo chamber. Guarantee you cannot back this up with realistic examples.

The reality is the economy was going to suffer no matter what, because it was global and affected all facets of society.


If you were one of those people cheering on the lockdowns, and I'm certain you were because you toe the line for democrats 100% of the time, then you're in no position to talk.
Nobody was cheering for lockdowns. It sucked for everybody.

Looks like even Republicans in Congress are dumping on it


Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) called it a “crazy idea,” since even with new tariff revenue, the government is spending much more than it collects in taxes.

“It has to be borrowed from China,” Paul told reporters on Tuesday, referring to the cost of checks. “Maybe we should call them and ask them if they’ll send the checks directly from China.”

“We got a debt of $38 trillion. We don’t need to be handing out any more money,” Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.), a member of the House committee that oversees taxes, told HuffPost.

“I can’t make that math work,” Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) said.

Top Republicans seemed cool to the payout proposal, saying they hadn’t heard of it — even though Trump brought it up repeatedly for months — or that the details remain unclear.

“I’m not sure what’s being proposed,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Tuesday. “It’s sort of a hypothetical.”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), meanwhile, suggested the tariff revenues would be better used to pay down the debt.

“Obviously I think the amount of money coming in from the tariffs is considered to be substantial at this point and hopefully can be put to a useful purpose,” Thune told reporters on Tuesday. “Again, in my view, one of which would be repaying the debt.”

“We’ve got to pay down the deficits,” Rep. Blake Moore (R-Utah) told HuffPost. “If one of the benefits of a tariff is to get some revenue, we ought to use it primarily for deficits.”

“We’re facing a deficit this year, around $2 trillion,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said. “I think whatever revenue we get from whatever source ought to go to try and bring down those deficits.”
