I received all of these checks. They changed my life, and made it possible for me to start the business I'd always dreamed of (AI-generated scam phone calls targeting elderly people). Donald Trump showed up for ME.
Since becoming president again, Trump has promised:
-$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend"
-$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend"
-$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies
-$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms
No checks have been issued
