Who Would Qualify for the $2,000 Payments?
Trump has suggested that high-income earners will not qualify, although he has not provided a specific income threshold. In a recent post on Truth Social, he wrote:
“A dividend of $2,000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.”
The U.S. Treasury has reported that tariff revenue during Trump’s second term has generated over $220 billion. However, more than 163 million Americans filed tax returns in 2024, according to the IRS, meaning universal $2,000 checks would total roughly $326 billion—exceeding tariff revenue collected so far.
Trump has argued that remaining funds could also contribute toward reducing the nearly $40 trillion national debt, writing:
“All money left over … will be used to substantially pay down national debt.”
I never received the 2,000 but I sure could use it I’m 80 and there is no money for food and house repairs.
You all realize, and yes I am both a senior citizen and a registered VOTING republican, that this is a pipe dream from an administration who consistently lie and has lied to the american people. It amazes me that character, honesty, and the human equation no longer matter in the consciousness of our nation. Racial hatred, isolation, lack of concern for the down-trodden and disinfranchised and fear, appear to be the driving force of this current administration and now the country. Remember it is the head not the tail that leads. Lack of civil discourse, vulgarity, profanity, sexual scandal, no accoutability, law makers practicing lawlessness while at the same time enforcing it on the average citizen, has made this nation the laughing stock of the free world. A little leavens the whole lump. We do not have a money problem in america, we have a moral problem that can only be remedied by the liberating gospel of Jesus Christ. Psalm 9:20, “Put them in fear O LORD, let the nations know that they are but men,” and 9:17, “The wicked will return to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.” Yes, the stimulus may help many, but at what overall cost. One’s hope should not be money or in an administration wholly, but in the shed blood, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. John 3:16, you know the verse. Coupled with Romans 5:8 says, “God demonstrated His love for us that while we were sinners, Christ died for us.” If you have never done so, turn to Jesus today.

Correction I think you mean joke:)
It would be nice if it was true and we didn’t have to pay it back with interest and then have it hike the price of everything even higher than what it is now, pretty soon everyone will be living on the street.
