Trump promises $2,000 check for every American thanks to tariff revenue he’s collected –Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he expected the U.S. will collect at least $500 billion in tariff revenue per year.  | 9 Nov 2025 | Donald Trump has vowed to give a $2,000 check to every American, thanks to the tariff revenue his administration has collected. The president made the exciting announcement on Sunday morning — blasting those who hated on his tariff strategy as “fools.” He said that the dividend of at least $2,000 would be paid to everyone, bar “high income people,” although he did not state what the threshold for that would be. Trump cited “trillions of dollars” of tariff income and said the money would soon go to paying the country’s “enormous debt” of $37 trillion.
