President Donald Trump has proposed $2,000 cheques for Americans funded by tariff revenues, a plan currently being explored by his staff, as announced by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. This idea, shared on his Truth Social platform after Republican election losses, faces skepticism from budget experts and legal challenges regarding the tariffs’ constitutionality. Analysts argue Trump’s proposed dividend would exceed tariff revenue and require Congressional approval. Critics suggest that eliminating tariffs would be a more effective way to provide economic relief to Americans.
