 Trump reveals when ‘moderate income’ Americans can expect to get $2,000 tariff dividend checks

President Trump vowed to issue tariff dividends sometime before the 2026 midterms during an Oval Office event touting his administration’s work bringing the FIFA World Cup to the US.

“We’re gonna be issuing dividends later on, somewhere prior to — the middle of next year, a little bit later than that,” he said, noting it would include “Thousands of dollars, for individuals of moderate income.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously revealed that the proposed $2,000 tariff dividend checks for American citizens would be awarded, but noted that the idea was only “in discussion.”

Bessent said that the payments “could come in lots of forms,” including as “just the tax decreases that we are seeing” following cuts made in the Big Beautiful Bill.

Around the same time, Trump wrote on Truth Social that “a dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.”

Bessent also floated a rough income limit of $100,000 that would disqualify higher income families from receiving the dividend.

“Everything is on the table. That would be for working families. We will have an income limit,” Bessent assured.

Trump and Bessent haven’t elaborated on any plans surrounding the dividends beyond the updated timeline.

The remittance would require approval from Congress, where even the president’s own Republican allies have expressed skepticism and encouraged Trump to focus on decreasing the federal budget deficit instead.

“It’ll never pass. We have a $37 trillion debt,” Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio told reporters in July, according to Business Insider.

As of November, the debt has surpassed $38 trillion, according to the US Department of Treasury.

Ah...some "everyone" doesn't mean "everyone, and now there will be an income ceiling.

Whatever.

Just more income shifting from those who produced it to those who didn't.

Don't like it at all.

First of all SCOTUS hasn't ruled on tariffs, so this may be dead in the water anyways and I believe he made this announcement before the ruling to force their hands.

Bessent has commented that there isn't enough money from tariffs to cover the cost. So this is then counterproductive.

No not everyone is going to get a check; there's an income ceiling and I also have read that ONLY people who are working would get a check.  That eliminates those on social security and disability!  If checks go out and the parameters keep changing there's going to be a whole lot of angry people. Seniors who need this $$ aren't going to get it and people who can't work aren't going to get it. How do you think they're going to vote?  I also read that he's planning to send checks out mid year -- which IMO is ultimately going to affect the mid terms.

I'm telling you, they mean to drag that money through the trailer park. Those are the people that will automatically go out and spend it all, and that's what this is *FOR*... to try to kick-start the economy.

Sell my vote to Trump for $2,000?  Okay.

Dems want me to pay them $2,000 for my vote.

How will this promise look if SCOTUS rules the tariffs are illegal erasing any available money to hand out?
And if there was, means testing is wealth redistribution.

I voted for this to start paying down the debt.  Not damned political pandering, and another damned  example of my tax dollars subsidizing the entitlement class.

You f'ed up Trump.
