[Analyst Says Trump's $2,000 Check 'Highly Likely'] Terry Haines, founder of Pangaea Policy, stated in this week's report that Trump's proposed plan to distribute $2,000 checks is 'highly likely' to be realized. He noted that the plan could be included in the upcoming 'budget reconciliation bill' in Congress, which only requires Republican votes to pass. Haines said that Trump and Congressional Republicans have the legislative means to accomplish this, and the market should treat this as a fact.
