President Donald Trump remains “committed” to sending each American a $2,000 dividend check to be distributed from tariff revenue, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday.
White House officials are exploring ways to execute the plan put forward by Trump in a social media post over the weekend, Leavitt added, but she did not provide details about specific options.
“The president made it clear he wants to make it happen,” Leavitt told reporters at the White House. “So his team of economic advisers are looking into it.”
The President just proposed a $2,000 tariff “dividend” for each person, excluding high-income earners.
If the cutoff is $100,000, 150M adults would qualify, for a cost near $300 billion. If kids qualify, that grows.
Only problem, new tariffs have raised $120 billion so far. pic.twitter.com/o9WsboXzXe
