达拉斯——参议院正推动将特朗普总统向美国人发放5000美元支票的提议变为现实，但该计划附带几项前提条件。
俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺计划推出立法，将股息支票正式写入法律，并希望在即将到来的中期选举结束后尽快推进——届时国会权力平衡可能会向民主党倾斜。
但莫雷诺告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，这笔钱不会来自纳税人的国库。相反，他希望通过征收特定的结构性关税，作为“市场准入费”，将收入返还给美国民众。

且这笔钱只能在美国境内使用。
“这笔股息将让工薪阶层美国人分享国家的繁荣，”莫雷诺说，“资金只能在美国境内使用，不得用于美国以外的地方。我认为这将极大提振美国经济。”
“因此，无论你是世界上哪个国家的公司，只要想在美国销售产品，要么就在美国本土生产，要么就缴纳进入美国市场的费用，”他继续说道，“这笔资金将用于发放这一一次性股息。”
特朗普周三晚间在达拉斯举行的共和党中期代表大会上提出了这一计划，共和党及多名——而非全部——处于弱势的现任议员和候选人齐聚大会，为提振选民支持、阐述为何应继续掌控国会展开游说。

不过，该计划的总成本可能高达惊人的1.2万亿美元。莫雷诺认为这笔开支物有所值，并指出尽管共和党已采取措施降低成本，但美国人仍在承受经济压力。
“这关乎提供救济，”莫雷诺说，“这承认了在拜登执政期间，工薪家庭的处境糟糕透顶，尽管我们在18个月内已经采取了诸多行动，但仍不足以让工薪家庭恢复收支平衡，对吗？”
“他们现在负债累累，”他补充道，“我认为我们在民选岗位上必须清楚，工薪家庭正在苦苦挣扎。”
要让该计划落地，共和党需要保持对国会参众两院的掌控。而就在此时，美国联邦赤字上月飙升至40万亿美元，且共和党一直以负责任的财政政党自居，抨击民主党肆意增加联邦开支。
特朗普的计划得到了众议院自由团主席、马里兰州共和党人安迪·哈里斯的意外支持。哈里斯是一批经常抨击国会无力解决国家债务问题的财政鹰派领导人。
“辛勤工作的美国纳税人或许理应获得退税。我们需要讨论退税规模会有多大，但我认为，美国纳税人理应获得税收减免，这是个好主意，”哈里斯在共和党中期代表大会期间接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。

哈里斯表示，这类计划“必须经过国会审议”，并暗示需要采用党派预算和解程序，以绕过民主党人的反对。
参议院共和党领袖也同意哈里斯的观点。
“这很像一项和解议题，”参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
图恩表示，参议院共和党人愿意与特朗普及其团队合作，推动股息支票落地，但他指出，直到周三晚间，这还是一个“我们此前从未听闻过的提议”。他认为，这一想法凸显了两党在施政理念上的差异。
“我认为这清晰地展现了我们与民主党人之间的鲜明对比：你们希望如何看待政府的运作方式，”图恩说，“一方是将更多权力、控制权和财富交到美国民众手中，另一方则是让华盛顿的更多官员告诉你该如何经营自己的生活。”
鉴于民主党已经对该想法提出批评，共和党很可能不得不依靠和解程序来推进该计划。
“唐纳德·特朗普是个出了名的骗子，他是政府史上最大的骗子，仅此而已。听着，这笔股息不可能实现，”加利福尼亚州民主党众议员罗伯特·加西亚告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“他承诺过关税股息，但没有兑现；他承诺过狗狗币股息，也没有兑现；大约六个月前，他还承诺过来自空军一号的某种奇怪的新股息，同样从未兑现。”
参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默对此表示反对，抨击这一举措象征着特朗普的总统任期“如此失败和崩溃，以至于他 resorting to trying to bribe the American people for their votes.”（注：原文此处保留英文，按要求不翻译）
“这是对美国人民和民主的侮辱，也承认了他已经彻底陷入困境，”舒默在X平台上说道。
莫雷诺反驳称，当涉及向美国境外投入数百亿美元时，民主党人总是全力支持，但在让资金回流美国的问题上，却从未展现出同样的积极性。
“所以说到底，这些政客都很虚伪。他们喜欢帮助世界上任何人，唯独不喜欢帮助工薪阶层美国人，”莫雷诺说，“他们喜欢给外国提供资金，喜欢资助无休止的战争，喜欢让我们解决全世界的所有问题。但当谈到帮助工薪阶层美国人时，突然就没钱了。我们要说的是，不。”

Trump’s $5,000 dividend checks would come with a major catch under GOP senator’s plan
September 10, 2026 4:16pm EDT / Fox News
Sen Bernie Moreno plans to introduce legislation funding the one-time payments through market access fees on foreign goods

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, says his plan to make President Donald Trump’s $5,000 tariff-funded dividend checks law would require congressional approval, with payments restricted to spending in the U.S.

DALLAS — There’s a push in the Senate to turn President Donald Trump’s pitch of $5,000 checks for Americans into a reality, with a couple of caveats along the way.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, plans to introduce legislation that would codify the dividend checks and wants it done as soon as the upcoming midterm elections are over, when the balance of power could tilt in favor of Democrats.
But the money, Moreno told Fox News Digital, wouldn’t come from taxpayers’ coffers. Instead, he wants to approve certain structural tariffs to act as a “market access fee” that would find its way back into the pockets of Americans.

And it can only be spent in the U.S.
“This dividend would be something that is allowing working Americans to share in the prosperity of this country,” Moreno said. “The money would be used only here in the United States, so it’s not to be used outside the United States. I think it would provide a big economic boost to our economy.”
“So, if you’re a company out there, anywhere in the world, you want to sell your products in America, you either make it here in the United States, or you pay a fee to enter our market,” he continued. “That money goes to funding this one-time dividend.”
Trump floated the plan Wednesday night during the Republicans’ midterm convention in Dallas, where the GOP and several — but not all — vulnerable incumbents and candidates flocked to energize their base and pitch why they should maintain control of Congress.

The cost, however, could be an eye-popping $1.2 trillion. Moreno argued that the cost was worth it and noted that despite the steps Republicans have taken to lower costs, Americans are still feeling the crunch.
“It’s about providing relief,” Moreno said. “It’s acknowledgment that during the Biden years, it was so bad for working families, that, despite what we’ve already done in 18 months, it just isn’t enough to get working families to basically so that they’re level, right?”
“Because they’re underwater right now,” he continued. “I think it’s extremely important for us to understand in elected office that working families are struggling.”
For the plan to work, Republicans would need to maintain their control of both chambers of Congress, and it comes as the nation’s federal deficit skyrocketed to $40 trillion last month and as the GOP has consistently pitched itself as the party of fiscal responsibility against Democrats’ wanton federal spending.
Trump’s plan scored one unlikely ally in House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., leader of a pack of fiscal hawks who routinely scoff at Congress’ inability to tackle the nation’s debt.
“Hardworking American taxpayers probably deserve a tax rebate. We’re gonna have to discuss, you know, how large a rebate that would be. But I think, again, American taxpayers deserve relief from taxation. I think that’s a good idea,” Harris told Fox News Digital in an interview during the GOP midterm convention.

Harris said such a plan “would have to go through Congress,” and he suggested that the party-line budget reconciliation process would be needed to skirt Democratic opposition.
The Senate’s top Republican agreed with Harris.
“It smells very much like a reconciliation issue,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told Fox News Digital.
Thune said Senate Republicans would be willing to work with Trump and his team to get the dividends done, but noted that until Wednesday night it was a proposal that “we hadn’t heard before.” He argued that the idea showed the difference between the GOP and Democrats seeking power.
“I think it illustrates the clear contrast between us and the Democrats about how you want to, how you see government functioning,” Thune said. “And one is in giving more power, control, money in the pockets of the American people, and the other, giving more power to, you know, for people in Washington to tell you how to run your life.”
And Republicans will likely have to rely on reconciliation to do it, given that Democrats are already slamming the idea.
“Donald Trump is a known liar. This is the biggest liar to ever serve in government, period. And look, the dividend is not happening,” Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., told Fox News Digital. “He promised a dividend on tariffs, that didn’t happen. He promised a dividend on Doge, that didn’t happen. He promised some strange new dividend from Air Force One, what, six months ago. That never happened.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., recoiled and slammed the move as emblematic of Trump’s presidency being “so failed and broken, he is resorting to trying to bribe the American people for their votes.”

“An insult to Americans, to democracy, and an admission of how absolutely screwed he is,” Schumer said on X.
Moreno countered that when it comes to dumping tens of billions of dollars outside the U.S., Democrats were all on board but didn’t show the same vigor when it came to seeing money flow back into America.
“So look, at the end of the day, these politicians are all hypocritical. They love helping anybody on earth except for working Americans,” Moreno said. “They love giving money to foreign countries. They love funding endless wars. They love having us solve the entirety of the world’s problems. When it comes to helping working Americans, all of a sudden, there’s no money. What we’re saying is no.”
