Trump says he may want to give you a tariff rebate check: ‘A little rebate for people of a certain income level might be very nice’

President Trump suggested that as part of the customs tariff policy, he was considering sending discount checks or customs tariff checks to Americans, with funding from revenues collected from the customs tariff imposed on imported goods. “We have a lot of money next, and we are thinking about a simple discount for people from a specific income level,” Trump told reporters on Friday outside the White House. “It may be a simple discount for people from a very nice income level.”
The deduction will be extracted from a large amount of customs tariff revenues that the US government collected – more than $ 100 billion in the first half of 2025 alone, according to treasury data.
Trump’s statements about these discount checks that may be targeted for Americans “from a specific income level” indicate that they are likely to be tested for the means, but Trump provided some details about the accurate income sills or the deduction amount.
The declared purposes of the opponent are to compensate the Americans who may have faced higher prices as a result of definitions, and perhaps providing a small economic incentive, which gives a new meaning to Trump about Trump’s statements “dealing with customs tariffs”, with a lot of economic debate about who puts the bill for them.
Any such discount policy may require the approval of congress, and lawmakers such as Senator Josh Holie have indicated support for legislation that would provide discount checks to working Americans, but the text of a draft law or schedule has not been determined. If enact, the administration will need to set the rules of eligibility, or the methods of distributing the application or automatic, and logistical services for payment. This may resemble previous motivational examination programs, but this is only theoretical at this stage.
The concept of deduction is distinguished from the amounts recovered from the legal or administrative tariffs of importers, which have been considered or assigned to follow the court rulings that question the legitimacy of some customs tariffs. In such cases, the recovered amounts will go to companies that paid import duties, and not directly to the final consumers.
Is this legal?
Certainly, the proposed tariff checks from Trump – funded by customs tariff revenues and distribute them directly to American consumers – will almost require explicit legislation from Congress to be legally valid, given that the American constitution grants Congress – not the president – the authority to impose customs tariffs and appropriate federal funds.
The president can impose some customs tariffs under the delegated legal authorities, but the courts have repeatedly found that the full use of these forces under the IEEPA law is not legal. Many of the recent court rulings (including a unanimous international trade decision) prevented Trump’s wide tariff due to the lack of legal basis under IEPA, yet the pending definitions remain pending the appeal, in theory, the Supreme Court’s decision.
Trump is busy July
The proposal to examine customs tariffs or money recovery tests is another new political proposal from Trump in July, which was full of it, such as Washington, DC, through a saving scandal involving children who were blasphemy for children suffering from children who were rowed. Trump’s Ministry of Justice faces criticism from the two parties for its decision not to issue the so -called Epstein files, which the Ministry of Justice said does not exist. the Wall Street Journal A series of drivers have published about Trump’s last proximity to Epstein, including Trump’s name mentioned in the files.
In July, Trump said he had reached an agreement with Coca-Cola to restore real sugar to the Coke format, which the company partially confirmed a few days later. He also called for the Football Team in Washington, dating back to the former “Al -Hamr”, which threatens the political obstacle for their stadium project if they do not comply. He announced the release of 230,000 files related to Martin Luther King Junior, and his hostility escalated with the Federal Reserve and President Jerome Powell, as he visited offices renovations in the operation in a solid hat and participated in a strange comic argument with Powell about TV transgressions on direct TV.
