Who will not be eligible as Donald Trump promises to give $2,000 to almost everyone in America

President Trump has promised a $2,000 payout to nearly every American, funded by revenue from his tariff policies, but high-income individuals will be excluded. He has not defined what qualifies as “high income,” leaving eligibility uncertain. Legal challenges to his tariffs could prevent the revenue needed for the payouts, and estimates suggest the available funds fall far short of the promised amount. Without clear details on timing, eligibility, or funding, it remains unclear if Americans will ever receive these payments.
