Many Americans have visions of $2,000 stimulus checks dancing in the heads thanks to the president's promises. The Trump administration seems resolute in delivering a welcome boost to middle-class taxpayers, a cool $2,000 per person, funded by the influx of tariff revenues from trade partners. But the Treasury has yet to sign on the dotted line, and there's no 100 percent guarantee that the stimulus package will see the light of day.

During COVID-19, stimulus checks were handed out by the U.S. government to deal with the massive economic crisis caused by the pandemic. People were struggling financially, and the government provided thousands of dollars, including a $1,200 check in March of 2020 under the CARES Act, a $600 check in December of 2020 under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, and a $1,400 check under the American Rescue Plan Act in March of 2021.
