President Donald Trump’s proposal to send Americans $2,000 checks funded by his sweeping tariffs is under fire for not adding up.
Trump, 79, pledged to send rebates to U.S. citizens who are “low and middle income.”
The president did not provide any specifics in his Truth Social post on Monday about what qualified for the income levels, but he wrote that whatever is left over could be used to pay down the debt.
“All money left over from the $2000 payments made to low and middle income USA Citizens, from the massive Tariff Income pouring into our Country from foreign countries, which will be substantial, will be used to SUBSTANTIALLY PAY DOWN NATIONAL DEBT,” he wrote on Monday.
He also touted his dividend plan in the Oval Office on Monday while taking questions from the press.
