1. There Isn't Going To Be A $2,000 Check For Everyone

That promise is going to cost 3.5x the total tariff revenue for 2025, and that is using the administration's revenue projection.
Trump is still believing his delusion about "trillions" in tariff revenue.
Remember he was going to pay off the national debt with them too, and with a $500 billion hole caused by this giveaway it will make the debt go UP!
