What’s high income 30k a year or more? Such a joke…
The $2,000 dividend could come in lots of forms, in lots of ways, George," Bessent told anchor George Stephanopoulos. “You know, it could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing on the president’s agenda – you know, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, deductibility of auto loans.”
Oh so no money for you
They want to let us deduct our auto loans? I haven’t heard that one yet. My car payment is crazy high though lol
$2000 a person won’t even offset the additional cost from the ACA subsidy reduction. So, a one-time check that would only cover several months of the recurring cost that he’s given us.
It also won’t make up for the small businesses that went under because their margins disappeared.
How about you use that money to pay SNAP instead?
So a $2k decrease in taxes using some kind of unspecified math, while cost of living increases by triple that number.
“I pay $1,000 more a month per rent than when trump first took office, pay 20% more taxes but he did send me a one time check for $2000”
Also the news should compare it to similar promises like “free fertility treatment” that he abandoned as soon as the news cycle was over.
Not happening
How about “There is Zero Evidence of $2000 Trump Checks Beyond Mere Words” as the headline ABC? Christ. Or “Trump Floats Idea of $2000 Checks, Or Maybe It’s a Tax Rebate, Or Maybe Nothing, Or Maybe He Just Says Shit and We Eat It Up Every Time. Who Cares? Just Stay Scared and Don’t Change That Dial!”
Just ballparking that there are 250 million non-high-earners, at $2k a pop that’s $500 billion. Two thousand dollars won’t change anyone’s life, but $500bn is a big chunk of the federal budget.
2k would save me rn.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to trivialize that amount of money.
In two weeks. Very special. Don’t want to say much now but it’s gonna be really special.
The Trump 2 week chicken taco timeline.
He started with “solving crime in Chicago in 1 day”
Then they had a Medicare plan just a week away, but he learned that that was too close for the right wing spin machine.
To be fair, he has followed through on his promise to be a “dictator on day 1”.
Is this dividend in the room with us right now?
The ultra wealthy already got their ‘tariff dividend’, in the form of not tax breaks and a discrete heads-up of when to play the market to real maybe amounts of extra wealth.
As for the rest, this offer is just more bullshit. If it does surface (which is very unlikely) there will be some strings attached. And it will in no way fully compensate most people for the turmoil caused by these tariffs.
Lolz, for them it’s $5,000.
Also hand out cash to people for their medical bills bypassing insurance companies:

Obvs that’s a lot worse than it sounds.
His only policy is to punish Democrats. I don’t know how he’ll do it but I absolutely guarantee he will do everything in his power to keep assistance out of the hands of people who won’t vote red.
This orange fuck with his grossly transparent attempts to bribe the poors
The sad part is it’ll probably work.
That’s gonna barely buy most families a month
