Donald Trump is charging ahead with his proposal to send Americans $2,000 “dividend checks” funded through tariff revenue. He announced the plan over the weekend, declaring on social media, “People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!”
Despite skepticism from his own treasury secretary, the White House insists the plan remains alive. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that Trump is “committed” to making it happen. She offered no details on eligibility or logistics but confirmed that economic advisers are reviewing options.
