Donald Trump is again claiming that every American will receive at least $2,000 funded by tariff revenue. In a recent post, he said rising tariff collections have strengthened the economy and would allow for a nationwide dividend, excluding high-income households. The promise comes as the Supreme Court reviews whether Trump exceeded his authority by using emergency powers to impose broad tariffs without clear approval from Congress. Justices from both sides questioned the reach of those actions, and the court has not signaled when a decision will arrive. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested the money may not come as a direct payment. He said the value could instead appear through tax changes the administration is proposing, such as eliminating taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security income, or restoring certain deductions. Bessent described these items as meaningful savings that could be counted toward the $2,000 figure, even if no separate payment is issued. His comments indicate the administration is still shaping how the benefit would be delivered. Tariff collections are on track to hit a record this year, but they also raise prices for consumers. Analysts warn that using tariff revenue for broad payouts could add to inflationary pressure created by the tariffs themselves. The debate underscores a larger question about how tariff policy affects households, and whether rising revenue can offset the higher costs families already face.
