WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has a new timeline for his proposed $2,000 tariff dividend payments.

In a wide-ranging interview this week with The New York Times, the president was asked for when Americans can expect to see the tariff dividend he repeatedly proposed last year.

"The tariff money is so substantial that's coming in that I'll be able to do $2,000 sometime...I would say toward the end of the year," he told Katie Rogers, the NYT's White House Correspondent.

You already got it. Wouldn’t it be better to say if there’s a Republican Congress, you’ll get the bribe after November?

I'd expect nothing less from the guy who still owes that town in New Jersey $100K for the clean up from his stupid rally.

Even if it somehow miraculously happens. It will benefit a tiny few.
