They are backing off the $2,000 checks

[angrychair]

Besset is now saying something different:

“THE $2,000 DIVIDEND COULD COME IN LOTS OF FORMS…IT COULD BE JUST THE TAX DECREASES. IT COULD BE NO TAX ON TIPS.”

The Bluesky link below has some absolutely hilarious responses.
The move to muddy the intent of the $2,000 payments is going to go over real nicely in MAGA world.

1. Can we discuss likely options here?

My 2 cents (about all I'll ever see of it)

• 10 minutes in the orgasmatron


• A 1/2 acre of land in Argentina

• A floor tile in the new ballroom named for you

• Down payment on a new Tesla (gasoline powered model coming soon)

• A Rubik's grenade.

2. The comments..lol

[Totally Tunsie]

3. I have it on good authority the checks will be arriving "in two weeks".

[unblock]

4. "Everyone will get their $2,000 check as soon as we produce enough inflation so it's only worthy $200!"

5. They have literally no fucking clue, do they?

8. They already passed no tax on tips

That was literally already in the dumb One Big Beautiful Bill. So basically he's saying it's going to be nothing.

16. Yeppers

And Trump said "every American" (if I remember correctly) when he mentioned the checks. I'm all for people working jobs and getting tips and not having those taxed, but where would that leave the rest of us?

Just sayin...

9. Easy come easy go

Especially with these liars, pretty much all go, to them.

10. I found a nickel on the sidewalk.

That must’ve been it.

11. Come on damnit, I could almost buy a ribeye for that

12. That's because Elon sent out the 5 thousand dollar checks. Americans got to spend that first.

Wait... Nobody tips me ...Didn't trump already do no tax on tips? This guy is brainless.

15. Of course. Never anything more than an empty promise to placate the most gullible, the majority of whom support Trmp. nt
