President Donald Trump has pitched the idea of sending taxpayers a $2,000 “dividend” which may sound great—but there are some big obstacles, including that Congress hasn’t approved it.

How's the 5k DOGE payment working out? Only morons still believe Forrest Trump
I personally think that the biggest problem is that it is clearly a massive load of bollocks.
This is a man who doesn't even pay his own bills. He definitely isn't going to give money away.
Be even giving this headline space you are either, scared of him, in his pocket or horrendously naive.
He wants his name on those checks so the dumbfuckers in red hats think he sent them (their) money.
NARRATOR: nobody ever got a $2,000 “dividend”
I always find it weird how he does this. People should control how they spend their money, so using taxes for healthcare is unethical.
That's where he begins. Now he's sending us all a $2,000 check to spend on - wait for it - medical bills.
Or anything we want.
Go on one last vacay?
If he's reducing tariffs the 'income' generated won't be as high so where's the money coming from?
I’m gonna negotiate for the 1100% increase my health insurance is going up.
Since when does he care if congress approves something? He doesn't even care if what he does is legal. But I doubt he'll send checks. Remember the DOGE checks? Yeah.
Uh, big friggin deal $2,000 dollars is chump change especially when you look at how tRump is pissing away our tax payer dollars on his vanity projects! What, it may buy a few groceries and gas for your car……
Shut the fuck up and let him give us money
Looks like the more accessible information is the more stupider we are. 🤷🏾♂️
I thought Congressional approval was a Democratic hoax or sedition or whatever.
Congress didn't approve that $40B payoff to Argentina either.
You think this is newsworthy? Please stop.
There will never be $2,000 checks like there never were the $5000 Doge checks or “the greatest healthcare plan” or “10% across the board fed tax” or so many other promises the pedophile has made.
Forbes...you don't even know what "news" is apparently. We're all really sick of the boot licking you all do for the billionaires & Trump. Why bother to write up a story when it's a blatant conjob & a lie?
There is plenty to report on, but you choose to repeat a fascist. Change or perish...
Dividends of bs fake money.
Oh, and trump added another trillion dollars to the debt. There is that small issue.
Never. Stfu. We’re focused on Trump trying to destroy everything and how we’re bringing him down.
Hey! @forbes.com When are you going to report on this?
It is well past time for Congress to act to remove this corrupt and criminally incompetent regime. All of them must go.
If the 2 grand ever happens, it will be to bribe voters right before midterms and it will just add more trillions to the debt.
I'm tired of Trump saying stupid shit and the press treating it like legitimate policy.
Throw them some cyber coinage.
The headline makes it sound like the checks already exist and have been sent out. What the fuck is wrong with you, Forbes? You've printed a baldfaced lie.
Tax the rich!
Really that is the best you can come up with? "Big obstacles"? "Congress hasn't approved it"?? How about it only works (maybe) if YOU DON'T EVER GET SICK? The stupidity is flabbergasting.
More Trump bullshit.
I would say the main hurdle is that the money doesn't fucking exist you dumbasses.
Let's remember when everyone got a $5000 doge cheque!
O wait...
They could just tax the billionaires and increase minimum wage, but whatever, let’s go into even more debt to carry out a thing that will only make the problem worse not helping anyone long-term.
Okay, I'll try to resist the temptation to deposit a check which does not exist.
How so when the U.S. spent more on tariffs than the rest of the world?
This would result in price hikes as it's the businesses that pay the import tax, not the government.
So he’s giving back the money he has taken from us with his illegal tariffs along with additional debt he’s adding to the deficit that we’ll have to pay back for decades with interest long after he is dead. So this money will risk our future social security. 👍
This is a joke. How far would $2000 go to cover the bills for a catastrophic illness or accident? Insurance companies negotiate lower charges with the providers, and at worst one has a high deductible or max out of pocket. With no insurance, one is on the hook for the full blown bill. Caution!
$2000 will cover one month of my 2026 ACA coverage. Its $430/mo now, and going up to $1,900/mo in January. This is for me and my daughter, and we don’t even have serious medical problems to worry about.
We ain't getting a thing. Just another lie of his
Whatever
bribe
He added $2 trillion to the National Debt in 11 months. He can't afford to pay his bills.
Also… why? How lame
When has lack of Congress approval ever stopped him from doing anything?
Nor has it even been confirmed or sent. Just more lies.
I plan on sending it back.
But I’m smart enough to know Trumpy isn’t sending anything.
IF this ever happens - DO NOT CASH THE CHECK - because his tariffs are illegal and this check would be too!!
It would be a TAX REFUND you mindless shills.
Correction: his actual title is, President Piggy PDFile.
So trump wants to once again rob the treasury of (our tax dollars) to pay us back part of the thousands we have already paid in price increases from the idiotic trump tariffs. Do I have that right? This moron thinks we are all as stupid as he is.
Add a 0...
Buying votes never looked so easy.
Add it to your DOGE Check Zero plus zero equals bullshit
He should resign. Give everybody what they really want.
Stop falling for this horseshit. And tell your reporters to stop telling him where they're from. Gives him the chance to change the subject.
Bribe
He doesn’t pay contractors that he actually owes money too!! (Talking to you Whitehouse contractors)
You think he is going to GIVE money away?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
it was a an attempted distraction before the Epstein vote and now he will not talk about it anymore.
Oh NOW he needs congressional approval hahahahahahahah. Just write an EO. That’s how he did everything else including de funding our already allocated funds lololol. Wish orange piggy would get his bacon fried.
Sorry, Pedo Piggy - but you can only buy the loyalty of about 35% of the population that way (the indecent unAmerican MAGAts).
We know you’ve been used to buying or blackmailing your way out of trouble all your life.
Not this time you wretched piece of refuse. The American people DESPISE you.
#TrumpCestfini
More importantly, it would slam the inflation pedal to the floor.
“Which may sound great”? Sounds like socialism. Why isn’t Forbes calling out the Orange Nazis’ hypocrisy?
He thinks everyone reveres money the way he does!
Sure, send me a check. I think I’ll make a nice donation to the ACLU with it.
He just wants to bribe morons.
My local radio station promotes a $1,000.00 giveaway contest to "payoff your bills" and this gives off the same energy.
Another stupid idea from the Grifter in Chief.
Don the Con. #impeach #vacate #eatadick #eattherich
Another of so many lies
don't spend something you don't have... these are NEVER coming. fool me once, and all that
Still waiting on my doge check. I’ll hold my breath.
Also, is it supposed to be our healthcare?
Big whoop! As if that amount would reduce the cost of healthcare or groceries! It's actually insulting!
Let's see... Tariff related price increases cost me ~$4500/yr, but I get a $2000 check. Fucking brilliant.
The Congress that gave us Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel??
A couple of things: Yes, Congress has to approve this. Keep in mind that the $2K can be taxed. And WHO decides who gets the $? And lastly remember why the WH is doing this (motive)?!
Injecting 200+ billion in printed dollars into our economy is instant inflation...
Just like his first term 💀
Did you guys note that we were also supposed to get a $5000 DOGE check? Stop printing the orange rapist's lies as anything but lies.
He wants to buy everyone's servitude for $2,000.
Trump is a lying POS.
It doesn't "sound great" at all. What a full of crap thing to say. He proposed it in place of ANY fucking healthcare support, you dumbasses.
It's a band-aid, and in the big picture, not that much.
Not to mention he hasn’t taken that much in that much tariff money.
Plz relay to the moron I would rather have affordable healthcare And I hate traitors, HE IS THE TRAITOR IN CASE HE ASKS
Anybody that believes a word out of Trumps mouth is nuts.
😂🤣 Congress hasn’t approved it 😂🤣😂
Its a lie. TRUMP is nothing but lies, cons and crimes. #resist and #impeach the pedo nazi regime.
Piggie and his promises. When it comes to Piggie: I believe nothing he says and very little of what he does.
These new sites have to stop writing up these headlines that try to normalize and sanewash this guy 🙄
ITS NOT HAPPENING
Giant tyrannical Arsehole
He owes the American people a lot more than $2,000.
Per person, how does that work? The ones who pay taxes, the seniors to the babies, we can't have healthcare, but he can dangle a 660 BILLION$ expenditure? If he can do that, there's no reason to cut ACA or Medicare funding. W Bush's scam equalled..300$ for the regular folks, BILLIONS to the rich!
He also said he had an idea about health care… 6 years ago!
$200,000.00 is more realistic.
Forbes misspelled bribe.
And this would be expensive money moving expensive money.
Tariff collection isn’t free. Debt isn’t free. Issuing checks isn’t free.
Billions to make deplorables accept socialism.
Bessent said we already got that in tax credits. So we are all good
He can shove that 2K up his ass. I want my Social Security when I retire!
I'm still fighting a bill of $24,000 from a surgery that I was told would be covered fully. WTF is someone going to do with a one time payment of $2,000 especially with all these tariffs he is making us pay for!!! While he is out golfing he starves the people
Lol. Seriously you can’t buy a refrigerator for that. What can you buy ? JBS steaks. I’d rather eat cat food. That’s what I’d buy. Cat food. (JBS took over our food. Not that I eat much meat but for what I’ve seen … there’s no way I’m buying this sh!t… puritans pride chicken my ass.
