"President Donald Trump is fundraising off of checks from the government that he's unlikely to send. In recent months, Trump's political operation has sent several fundraising emails that mention either the "DOGE Dividend" or tariff rebate checks, both of which theoretically involve sending checks to some Americans worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. In the case of DOGE checks, tax-paying Americans would receive checks of up to $5,000 based on purported savings from DOGE."
"A fundraising email sent by his leadership PAC on Thursday included the subject line, "Do you want a DOGE check?" But the body of the email included a "Rebate Check Poll." "Should bonus revenue from tariffs go back to the American People VIA CHECK SIGNED BY TRUMP?" asks the email. "My team tells me that gathering ONE MILLION RESPONSES TODAY is the best way to send these so-called "representatives" a message they won't be able to ignore.""
President Donald Trump is fundraising on proposals to send checks to Americans tied to a 'DOGE Dividend' or tariff rebate plans. Recent fundraising emails mention both ideas, which would theoretically provide recipients with hundreds or thousands of dollars. DOGE checks would offer tax-paying Americans up to $5,000 based on purported savings from DOGE. Tariff rebate checks would return some tariff revenue primarily to lower-income Americans. Trump has said he is considering both ideas but has not committed to or actively pursued either. Both proposals would require Congressional approval, and many Republican lawmakers oppose them. Campaign emails have used these prospects to solicit donations.
