(The Epoch Times)—Moderate- to low-income Americans should expect to see $2,000 tariff dividend checks sometime after mid-2026, President Donald Trump announced at a press briefing on Nov. 17.
Trump narrowed the check arrival window after saying on Nov. 14 that the checks would reach taxpayers next year.
“We’re going to be issuing dividends later on, somewhere prior to, you know, probably the middle of next year, a little bit later than that,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
The money is earmarked for people in the low- and middle-income brackets, he added.
The president first announced his idea to distribute $2,000 to taxpayers on the lower end of the income spectrum on Nov. 10.
He said the money would come from the “trillions of dollars” raised by imposing various levels of tariffs on U.S. trading partners for goods sold to Americans using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank, estimated ona Nov. 17 that the tariffs would raise $2.3 trillion in revenue over the next decade, but since they represent a tax increase, their “negative economic effects” lower that amount to $1.8 trillion.
The rebate idea was made public as the Supreme Court deliberates whether using emergency economic powers to set tariffs is constitutional.
Trump defended his use of the IEEPA and said the country was taking in “trillions of dollars.” The administration plans to start paying down the national debt of $37 trillion with some of the money, according to Trump.
The idea to give money back to taxpayers from tariff revenue was written into legislation introduced in July by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.).
“Americans deserve a tax rebate after four years of [President Joe] Biden’s policies that have devastated families’ savings and livelihoods,” Hawley said in a statement.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told “Fox News Sunday” the rebate would likely need to be codified in Congress.
“We need legislation for that,” Bessent said, adding the checks would go to “working families” and an income limit would be set. “President Trump is committed to getting money back to families.”
The legislation has received some backlash.
“While tariffs have undoubtedly raised costs for American firms and consumers—since Americans and not foreigners ultimately pay the tariff—rebating the revenue to consumers would be fiscally irresponsible and also risk increasing inflation,” the Tax Foundation stated in July. “Tariffs are a poor way to raise revenue generally, but the revenue that is collected should be used for deficit reduction rather than rebates.”
If passed, the legislation would have the same approach as COVID-19 stimulus checks during the pandemic, the foundation stated.
Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
