Trump has announced that he wants to distribute $2,000 payments to many Americans, funded by revenue collected from tariffs.
- On November 9, 2025, he wrote on Truth Social: “A dividend of at least $2,000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.”
- The White House reaffirmed that Trump is committed to the idea of using tariff income for this dividend.
- The timeline given: checks would be issued “somewhere prior to … probably the middle of next year, a little bit later than that.”
- The intended target: “individuals of moderate income, middle income.”
In short, a cash payment to many Americans, funded by tariffs, planned around mid-2026.
