The $2000.00 check for every American

[Chasstev365]

Trump has accepted many bribes, he has paid bribes, and now the latest desperate act of a scoundrel: He is trying to bribe the entire American public.

1. When do they start going out?

[ananda]

9. Lol. As soon as Trump's ballroom is finished.

[Javaman]

19. Never. Like all things the orange ashole does. Bait and switch

But this time, a lot more people are wise to his bullshit

[rsdsharp]

2. He's trying to make the American public BELIEVE they're going to be bribed.

There’s about 340 million people in the country. $2000 for each works out to $680 billion. The Treasury Department just announced Dumpie has taken in $195 billion in tariffs through September. That’s $21.66 billion per month. Rounding up to $22 that’s $261 billion for the year.

That math ain’t mathing.

10. If it only goes to adults

it would be about 270 million people.

11. He said in his Truth Social post

“A dividend of at $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.”

He also said the country’s debt would be paid down with the “Trillions of Dollars” being taken in.

But even if it’s 270 million people, that’s $540 billion on tariff revenue of $261 billion. That’s more than $2 for every dollar taken in.

21. Hopefully it happens after January, so last year becomes 2025

I didn't file taxes in 2024, but I did this year.

22. Covid checks went to dependent children, too.

3. Yes Trump is buying votes.

[underpants]

4. Does he really think people will remember that a year from now?

[MerryBlooms]

5. Is that the money he stole from SNAP? Some people are saying...

[bucolic_frolic]

7. My price is $2 million

not $2,000.00. I'm not cheap.

[markie]

12. $2000

does not even begin to cover what I pay for health care annually.... WTF is wrong with this administration to think this is even an idea worth uttering

[BlueTsunami2018]

13. No one is getting a check.

He’s full of shit.

[Wounded Bear]

14. If they send it, I'll spend it. But I ain't voting repub...nt

[Mossfern]

15. Isn't that

what we paid in increased prices? So, he's giving some of our money back?
Or am I mistaken...

[AnotherMother4Peace]

18. I'm a Democrat will i get a check?

[Maru Kitteh]

20. He might send them to red states only, minus the blue counties

Something like that.

[JI7]

23. What checks ? Where are the 5000 dollar checks

from doge cut savings ?

[BannonsLiver]

24. Let's cut the crap, nobody's getting a $2,000 check.
