"You've promised $2,000 checks to Americans based off of your tariff revenues. When can they expect those?"
"I did do that?"
"I am going to," Trump said. "The tariff money is so substantial that's coming in, that I'll be able to do $2,000 sometime, I would say toward the end of the year."
Trump pledged to use tariff revenues to fund $2,000 rebate checks for American households. He appeared to forget that pledge when questioned and responded, "I did do that?" He later affirmed that the tariff revenue is substantial and said $2,000 payments could arrive toward the end of the year. He cited $1,776 payments to service members as previously funded by tariffs, though those payments were allocated by Congress rather than coming from tariff receipts. Polling referenced indicates a majority of Americans rate his handling of the economy and inflation negatively.
