Schrodinger's tariffs.
If, according to Trump, the government doesn’t have the tariff money available to refund all of it if he loses the lawsuit before SCOTUS, how can he be talking about giving away trillions in $2,000 checks?

The good news about all that foreign investment money is that we wouldn't have to pay it back because we don't actually have it.
Trump claims the U.S. would need to repay $2 trillion if the Supreme Court overturned his tariffs. He says that covers "tariff revenue and investments," which presumably includes the deals from Japan, Korea, etc. Credible estimates of tariff revenue are less than 10% of that.

To Trump, the illegality of his unilaterally imposed tariffs seems to be a feature not a bug — part of a concerted effort to barrel through the remaining checks being placed on executive power by Congress and the Supreme Court. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Hassett: "I think it's back on the table to think about what to do with those tariff revenues. I'm sure the president will discuss with congressional leaders whether because of all of the extra tax revenue, there is more room to get checks back to people."
