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.

Looks like even Republicans in Congress are dumping on it
[QUOTE]Sen. Rand [B]Paul (R-Ky.) called it a “crazy idea,” [/B]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. [B]“Maybe we should call them and ask them if they’ll send the checks directly from China.”[/B]
[B]“We got a debt of $38 trillion. We don’t need to be handing out any more money,” Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.)[/B], a member of the House committee that oversees taxes, told HuffPost.
[B]“I can’t make that math work,” Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) said.[/B]
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.
[B]“I’m not sure what’s being proposed,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)[/B] said Tuesday. [B]“It’s sort of a hypothetical.”[/B]
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), meanwhile, suggested the tariff revenues would be better used to pay down the debt.
[B]“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.”[/B]
[B]“We’ve got to pay down the deficits,” Rep. Blake Moore (R-Utah)[/B] 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,” [B]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.[/B]”[/QUOTE]

Your dumbass president failed basic 3rd grade math. Dumb as a brick.
[QUOTE]Personal taxes provide about $2.7 trillion annually in federal revenue, according to IRS data. For fiscal year 2025, the U.S. generated $195 billion in tariff revenue, Treasury data shows.
"Tariffs, even applied maximally, simply could not generate that level of revenue — imports are not a large enough tax base," York said.
...
Mr. Trump has also discussed the possibility of sending Americans a $2,000 "tariff dividend" check, an idea he reiterated during the Dec. 2 Cabinet meeting.
Yet that proposal also faces a troublesome math problem, Lincicome said. Sending a one-time $2,000 payment to U.S. households would cost between $300 billion and $600 billion — far more than the U.S. is currently collecting in tariffs, he pointed out.[/QUOTE]
