Bessent confirms Trump's $2000 checks might go the way of those DOGE "Rebate Checks," "could come in lots of forms"

Bessent was asked by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos how the Trump administration would facilitate the multi-billion dollar proposal, floated by Trump as a plan to end the ongoing government shutdown and defund Obamacare.

Bessent, claiming not to have spoken with Trump about the proposal, said that the “$2,000 dividend,” as Trump called it, which the Oxford Dictionary defines as a “payment,” could actually be a generic reference to the Trump administration’s proposed tax cuts.

“The $2,000 dividend could come in lots of forms…. It could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing on the president’s agenda,” Bessent told Stephanopoulos.

“No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, deductibility of auto loans. You know those are substantial deductions that are being financed in the tax bill.”

They might not be issued or they can only be cashed in a small local bank in Taiwan and only on Thursday Mornings. Stand by for the latest information about your future from EPSTEINS FRIEND and his enablers.

There will be no $2,000 per person distributions no matter what form they take.
