Sorry folks, you're gonna be waiting this like the DOGE checks.

1. That will go a short way to offset the cost of my new car.

[AZJonnie]

2. So, you're deigning to give us back a portion of OUR money you've usurped from us through Executive Decree?

THANK YOU SO MUCH, OH KIND, BENEVOLENT, GENIUS, AND HANDSOME LEADER!

[markodochartaigh]

3. Well darn,

I bet if I were a billionaire Trump would give me a lot more than a thousand or two.

[Mike Niendorff]

4. Will be forgotten in a week.

Just the latest distraction.

Re-open the government, and release the Epstein Files!

5. Robs from the poor and then gives back a little.

[Wiz Imp]

6. What was the point of the tariffs again?

Revenue taken in by the US Treasury in FY 2025 (includes tariffs) = $4.69 Trillion.

US Spending in FY 2025 $6.66 Trillion.

Surplus = NEGATIVE $1.97 Trillion

Amount added to National debt = $1.97 Trillion

Giving tariff dividend would increase the amount added to the debt to well over $2 Trillion.

7. As long as you don't mention Epstein or his tiny hands or his

fat butt or his wide hips or Epstein.

[JustAnotherGen]

8. He's worried about

The November 5th SCOTUS Ruling re legality of the Tarrifs.

They aren't. They are an Intolerable Act against US Manufacturing.

[hatrack]

9. Right after the DOGE checks hit our mailboxes, right, Fuckstick?

[TheBlackAdder]

16. Yeah, it was $5K for DOGE and $5K for tariffs. Who's skimming the profits?

[Vinca]

10. Well, isn't that special? Especially considering it was our money in the first place.

Will I get back the extra $3 a bag I've been paying for coffee?

[Takket]

11. Giving Americans a check and just lumping it into the national debt

Is a pretty standard gop tactic going back to Shrub.

[jayschool2013]

12. Mob behavior

"You know that guy we whacked who got in the way during our big heist?"

"Yeah."

"Send his wife a nice fruit basket."

[kerouac2]

13. Doesn't cover individual costs most are paying for his actions

Drop in the bucket compared to increased costs we now have. Plus we are getting less. And let's not forget about all those who were and will be out of work. But the sheeple will hail it as a huge success.

[tanyev]

19. Yep. $2000 is maybe a couple months of groceries and gas for a family of four.

If they’re careful.

[Iris]

14. Jesus. So now we're shareholders of our own government?

[Cosmocat]

15. The stupid is so thick at this point

This will be totally lost on the public at large.

But, this is dead on, in theory.

17. Adding more inflation to the big beautiful Trump stagflation

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. They took in $200 billion. 150,000,000 checks would be $150 billion or $300 billion. Revenue? Deficit? Debt?

He's trying to buy love.

maga suckers will think it's free money. There are still many maga who swear up and down that foreign countries are paying the tariff taxes, not themselves.

Shelves will be a bit thin as Black Friday and christmas near. Cheques would only increase competition for scarcer goods, which leads to inflation on top of tariff inflation.

[maxrandb]

20. Your math is off

The checks will only go to Donnie Dipshit voters.

That's how 'MuriKKKa works these days.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. No. . . . . nt

[riversedge]

30. Our family has decided just to draw names. We all get one present and seems fair to all.

[Liberal In Texas]

22. $1000 or $2000? Which is it?

Oh, just a boast to make the rubes forget the Epstein files for a day.
The result will be that it'll never happen.

[Iris]

24. 1000 for registered Ds; 2000 for everyone else

[riversedge]

31. ha ha. You probably are spot on!

[Bristlecone]

23. The check's in the mail....

[Johonny]

25. Isnt the 2025 deficit going to be well over 1 trillion?

[jonstl08]

26. Tax credit

He will probably do a refundable tax credit when you file your taxes next year. But to receive it you have to file so some people are not required to file due to low incomes. Those people would need to file.

[Botany]

27. Fucking nutz

Btw foreign countries, businesses, and agricultural sectors are not paying those tariffs the
American People are.

[DinahMoeHum]

28. Yeah, tell me another fairy tale, Donny

n/t

[Prairie Gates]

29. Returning a quarter of what we're paying for the dumb tariffs

Great deal, everyone.

Honestly, if you don't have a bug-out plan at this point, you must be out your damn mind.

[underpants]

32. He leaned a lesson from 2020. There was talk of another COVID supplemental payment

very close to the election. From what I understood McConnell talked him out of doing it. Trump fell for it. That one last check with his name on it could have gone a long way.

[lame54]

33. I'm getting mine...

In 2 weeks

[Arazi]

34. *give a bribe. Fixed it for you

[oasis]

35. Trump's full of shit, as usual.

[Rebl2]

36. If I

we’re to get that money I would give it to either the Democratic Party or an organization that is liberal. By the way, I don’t expect to get any money from that jerk.

[republianmushroom]

37. trump lies often and a lot.

[applegrove]

38. That will pay for ASA health care increases for one month, or two.
