The leech is a taker, not a giver
as is usual with this waste of protoplasm, it is all bullshit
Q: Will U.S. citizens receive stimulus or tariff-based checks of $2,000 in November?
A: No checks are being issued. President Donald Trump said he wants to use tariff revenue to give “dividend” payments of “at least $2,000” to “middle-income people and lower-income people.” But no formal plan has been finalized and approved by Congress. Fiscal policy experts say there’s not enough tariff revenue for that.
“People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!,” Trump wrote on Truth Social that day. “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 made his pitch again the next day while taking press questions in the Oval Office.
“Without tariffs, we would be — this country would be in such trouble, as they were for many years,” he said. “That’s why we owe $38 trillion. And one of the things we’re going to do, we’re going to issue a dividend to our middle-income people and lower-income people of about $2,000. And we’re going to use the remaining tariffs to lower our debt.
However, the U.S. has not made “trillions of dollars” from tariffs, as the president’s remarks may suggest. He appears to get to “trillions” by counting unspecified financial investments in the U.S. that companies or countries have pledged to make, which isn’t the same thing as “trillions” in revenue for the federal government. We asked the White House for an accounting of Trump’s “trillions” calculation, but we did not get a response.
