$2,000 Stimulus Check Update — Trump Says "Dividend Will Be Paid"

"As you can see, the revenue collected this year from tariffs is so much higher than previous years. Right now, as of November, it's at $228 billion. But of course, the year isn't over yet. For December, the government is expected to collect about another $35 billion, maybe 40 billion, you know, on the high end. And then we have the rest of November, right? So the final figure for the year, it's going to come around slightly under $300 billion for the entirety of 2025."

"the market says that there's a 27% chance that President Trump issues the $2,000 stimulus check by March 31st of next year."

"the only way that the government's going to issue a stimulus check, especially of this size, is if the economy craters or if a bailout is needed, which threatens an economic cratering."

"If the Supreme Court says that President Trump's tariffs are illegal and they have to be voted through Congress, then most of the tariffs would be struck down and then the tariffs would only bring in under $100 billion."
