An email advertisement claims people can secure President Donald Trump’s $2,000 "tariff payout," claiming interested parties "must act" to secure the money.
"Trump’s $2,000 tariff dividend is live but you must act," says a Jan. 16 email from a group that calls itself Major Gross Profit. The email encourages readers to click a link to secure a $2,000 "tariff payout." And it notes that "the first checks are just the beginning."
The message has caused U.S. recipients of the message to question whether a tariff payment once promised by President Donald Trump could be forthcoming.
In November, Trump pledged to share tariff revenues with Americans in the form of dividends. However, that has yet to happen, and Trump has provided few details about his plan.
In other words: The money isn’t yet available. Even if it were, the government probably wouldn’t require most eligible Americans "to act." It would be unusual for the government to direct people to a third-party in order to access dividends. In the past, including during the COVID-19 pandemic under Trump’s first term, the federal government issued stimulus money to Americans directly.
