Trump's Tariff Dividend: Feasibility & Impact
Update: 2025-11-12
Description
Former President Donald Trump proposed a controversial plan to return tariff revenue to American citizens as a $2,000 dividend, but experts question its feasibility due to insufficient revenue and growing national debt. Scott Bessent, a potential Treasury Secretary, suggests the rebate might not be in the form of direct checks. The Yale Budget Lab estimates the average household might only see a net gain of around $200, as consumers already bear much of the tariff cost. No formal proposal has been made to Congress, and legal and financial implications are still being debated.
