Back in November, the Trump administration discussed the possibility of sending $2000 to each American taxpayer this summer, with money saved from the administration's reciprocal tariffs.

However, Democrats don't want Americans to enjoy the benefit of having a president who stands up for them. Furthermore, they don't want us to be thankful to the Trump administration for a pile of cash in our hands.

So they do what's logical: they get their monkeys to demand that the money be given back to the foreign corporations (some state-owned) that it was extracted from, while we continue to pay the prices that result from the tariffs that they impose on us.

(Thanks a lot Democrats)

I see, even after all this time, that you still have no idea how tarrifs work.

The US gov collected more than 200 billion dollars from tariffs. It didn't cost me a penny. It hurt foreign corporations the most and now Obama's sons want to compensate them for it.

It is ironic that Democrats are even againt using the funds to help pay for the extended ACA subsidies.

This could mean only one thing: they have deals on the table with the foreign companies who lost due to the tariffs. "Get us our money and we'll share it with you."

The Democrats have long shown that they are the Enemy of the People.

IHMO: The money should go to paying off the national debt.

The cost of the tarrifs was not paid by the foreign manufactures and was passed down to US consumers.

The only way tarrifs would not affect US consumers is if US manufacturing was ready to step in an produce the same products here on US soil, which it has not bee able to do since the late 1980's. It would take several decades for US manufactuing to move that capability back to the USA, and even then the cost of labor alone would be prohibitive.

This doesn't even touch the fact that SCOTUS deemed the tariffs illegal.

That's the most responsible thing to do, but look at the concept that Trump could create for voters: "MAGA politicians put $2000 in my pocket."

Plus it has the potential to make them start to think "F other countries, I like Trump, I like tariffs, I like $2000, and I like America First."

Not like we need more votes, but the more the merrier.

I hear what you're saying, and I hear the media saying the same thing, but hearing and seeing are 2 different things. Prices on things that I buy haven't
gone up since Trump took office, and my electric bill went down.

manufacturing was ready to step in an produce the same products here on

I just don't see it. Someone said "cellphones will quadruple in price" and I just got a Samsung Galaxy A17 for free from Tmobile. What are you buying? Lamborghinis? Rack servers? Toys with lead paint?

This doesn't even touch the fact that SCOTUS deemed the tariffs illegal.

But the money has already been banked, and new tariffs went into affect just a few days after their ruling.
