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.
Here’s what we know so far:
I could use that money. Both my husband and myself had both SS checks, which werent very much combined, but we made it work until he passed away 2 months ago. His check was $2570 and mine was $999 per month. Yes, we had a rent payment of $1525/month, utilities $307 (budget plan) month,
Health Insurance $400/month, Car Insurance $240/month, Credit Card bills $350/month and I cut our grocery bills down to $50/month. Nothing was left period. So, when he passed the govt took my SS payt away and awarded me his monthly check of $2570….that’s all I get to pay rent, insurances, bills, utility bills. Im worse off than before……so, YES I could use that $2,000 check. Please do something for seniors!!
His promises are always in LIMBO. I don’t trust anything he offers. It’s just to get your vote.
Is this another get your hopes up to get help that never shows? Because I’m loosing faith that we will not end up thrown to the wolves as either a population control or another work your butts off scrapping by on beans, Rice, and scraps of leftovers we are sharing with neighbors so everyone can eat anything halfway healthy. We need help. So, don’t offer the hope of things improving, if it’s never coming. We have enough smoke blown up a..es, don’t be joining the parade who offer help to walk by saying you might be starving, but you don’t qualify, your not needy enough, sick enough, homeless enough. Stop talking out the side of your neck and make a difference.
No disrespect intended. Just a fed up cry for help
How do I qualify?
our government can afford the checks it will not do anything negative to our economy it’s a joke that we have all these people in a position to make choices for all of us when they have no idea; not a single clue what living life is like for us I guarantee if they understood and experienced it they would want them checks just as equally if not more than us, they just need to give those checks to us already especially after it was said that we would get one….
Don has yet to make good on a single one of his many promises to dole out $$$. He is our very own CONMAN.
i am 69 ritire last year 2000 will help to pay bills
As I see it this is a ploy fake we the people are all hurting with the way things are going nothing what was told to the American people came about and this is another promise being told that won’t happen. We need someone in office to get things done apparently this isn’t .
I could sure use this stimulus check of President Trump …….PLEASE
I agree a 100%
