If the president can just raise taxes and spend money without Congressional approval, the constitution is null and void.
BREAKING: Deputy White House Chief of Staff James Blair said the administration is eyeing ways to give millions of Americans $2,000 dividend checks from tariff revenue without congressional approval, per Bloomberg.
You might say “America “ is dead even….always projection with him.
$2000 is a drop in the bucket if you’re a farmer or many others like people who work minimum h jobs and sleep in their cars because they can’t afford rent
Oh truly mr. president, please please please give us $2000! Even if you gave all that money of ours to your fellow billionaires (if in fact you actually are one), please oh please give us the amount of $$ you think might appease us.
Breaking: many Americans expect their health insurance to rise by $2000 per month. Trump has a genius solution!!!
Giving away fighter jets and high tech chips too for what? Congress should do something. The president cannot have plenary power.
He’s proving we don’t even need Congress!
Yes. The Constitution only operates if our leaders follow it, and those in power today do not. The task now is not defending democracy in the USA, but restoring it.
IMPEACH THE SOB….no one crowned him KING, and yet HE continues to behave like one! Remove the entire regime, fumigate the White House!
Not null and void, just meaningless for legislation. Then comes the rights and liberty part of it.
And declare war. Fucker will be signing treaties next, oh, wait…
Would rather have food for people, health care coverage for people and less debt for the next generation!
People need to really stop giving the uw engagement farm account credit for anything. Jussayin…
And of course when it doesn't happen the spin will be that it's because of the Democrats.
But @radiofreetom.bsky.social said were not a fascist country. Evidently ignoring the constitution doesn’t make us fascist.
Sorry to hijack this to prove someone needs to wake up.
When did they start talking about this? February? Never going to happen. This is like all the stuff Trump says is going to happen in “two weeks”.
It’s been dead since he was re-elected - as soon as he let Elon dismantle USAID and cancel funds and agencies that had previously been congressionally approved.
It is. Haven’t you been paying attention?
Can I just get my tax refund? Still waiting on that.
King Charles I and his various parliaments had rows over this
Ended up in civil war
Although in this case, I think they're looking for a way to blame Congress for not handing out the checks they do not have the money to provide
Effectively giving them back the extra money they are paying anyway so why not just scrap the fucking Tariffs.
Well we know why, he wants you to think he’s giving you something when he clearly fucking isn’t .
well, there's no more SCOTUS, not other than for show. Legislative branch is no more than a reed bending in the wind, so also for show.
Congress has the power of the purse, not the president. This is illegal.
It will be as imaginary as the "trillions and trillions of dollars" being brought in by the tariffs.
I thought the argument was that the Democrats caused inflation by giving out pandemic checks? (even though I’m aware Trump gave out checks too during the pandemic).
You only need congressional approval when Congress is willing to challenge your actions and hold the executive accountable for the same.
James II has entered chat
Bessent has already started hemming and hawing and walking this back into ' some form of relief, tax credits'
Americans are so gullible.
He is already murdering people in boats illegally 🤷🏼♂️
I see where this is going. Before midterms, Trump will say that he wanted to give Americans $2000 each, but the Democrats stopped him. It won't help him this time. Firing federal workers, cutting US AID, not standing up to Putin, using ICE & border patrol to terrorize citizens is not worth $2000
Charles 1 of England has a warning.
The constitution is apparently a list of suggestions that much of America, virtually all republicans and the majority of the Supreme Court don’t really care all that much about.
tRumpy gave $1400 during his 1st term and maga considered him a god… Please save it and feed our children. Such BS.
Democrats can raise taxes on the wealthy then without approval…
There isn’t enough revenue to do that and they spending the money like it grows on trees. My concern is…they will cut important social programs to fund this BS to hopefully stay in power.
“We’re going to raid your pocketbooks and then hand you back a small sliver and you’re going to love it.” SUCKERS!!
That’s the Republican Party plan, eh? Elections stop too btw.
"Paying people with their own money" has never been more transparent. Trump is the king of obvious.

It has already happened. The Federal Government has severed itself from the Constitution. The State has committed suicide archive.org/details/trea...

There’s likely be no tariff revenue, and what they’ve taxed so far will have to be returned. The boondoggle will end up costing billions in added debt.
Would that give people who recieved it grounds to sue? Maybe class action?
ALL of congress should be raising hell over this.
Hush money to his base.
And they could just release the Epstein stuff without him oops
He's trying to bribe us with a piddly amount while he grifts billions. He's sure that'll satisfy the serfs.
It has been for a while, now.
He's already been doing the taxing part and no one's bothered to stop him, especially not Congress.
I agree, since 10 months ago.. bsky.app/profile/gnah...
