Trump says $2,000 tariff rebate checks won't come before Christmas

(The Center Square) – Americans won't get a $2,000 rebate check from the federal government before Christmas.

President Donald Trump said Friday that the proposed checks will not be distributed before the end of the year. Trump made the comments aboard Air Force One on his way to Mar-a-Lago, the president's club in Palm Beach. It's his 14th trip to Palm Beach this year.

Trump has proposed sending $2,000 checks to most Americans, excluding high earners. Earlier this week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said no decision had been made on income limits. On the same day, the White House said it was "exploring all of its options" for sending tariff rebate checks even as the Supreme Court considers a legal challenge to the president's tariffs.

While Trump provided no details, early estimates suggest that the checks would cost more than the tariffs generate.

4. It's a concept of a weave of a plan. Or something.

2. Under Biden, handing out money was THE main cause of inflation.

Just a reminder when friends and family get excited over the check that will arrive in two weeks.

3. I can't imagine these yahoos could find a way to do a $2000 give back that was anywhere near fair.

I heard someone saying it would be through tax rebates.
They should give snap people a bonus. They have been dragged around this month.

5. Where's my check? n/t

6. Sure, and I believe in the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunnny

Fool me once shame on YOU, fool me twice shame on ME!

7. On the other hand,

giving out checks too soon would blunt the advantage of giving them out closer to the midterms. If you're going to buy votes, it has to be done near the election to remain in the minds of the voters.
