Co-host of Fox News&#8217; &#8220;The Five&#8221; Jessica Tarlov took aim at President Donald Trump and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) this week over their push for rebate checks funded by tariff revenue. Tarlov argued the move highlights how tariffs are hurting American consumers, not foreign competitors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Are &#8216;Taxes On Americans,&#8217; Tarlov Says</h2>
&#8220;Trump has been creating these trade wars that have resulted in Americans paying more for goods,&#8221; Tarlov <a href="https://x.com/JessicaTarlov/status/1950005631680721358">posted on X</a> on Monday. &#8220;Tariffs are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46622277/trumps-trade-deal-with-japan-a-tax-on-americans-economist-says-not-remotely-optimistic-us-auto-companies-will-gain-as-toyota-and-honda-stocks-rally">taxes on Americans</a> — consumers pay, not foreign companies.&#8221;

</ul>
During a segment on &#8220;The Five&#8221; earlier in the day, Tarlov criticized Trump&#8217;s claim that tariffs benefit the economy. She pointed out that companies like Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) have raised prices as much as 51%, and that major automakers like General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Volkswagen have lost billions in profit.
&#8220;They&#8217;re not going to eat the tariff,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They&#8217;re going to pass it on to you.&#8221;
Tarlov questioned the logic behind the new rebate push: &#8220;If they really helped, why are Trump and Josh Hawley now pushing rebate checks? Because voters feel the rising cost of living due to tariffs.&#8221;
She added that Trump initiated nearly all of the trade wars currently affecting Americans, with the exception of China. &#8220;We essentially had favored nation [status] with the EU, being about 1% import. So 15% is a lot more than 1%,&#8221; she said, referring to tariff increases under Trump.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hawley Proposes $600 Rebate Checks</h2>
On Monday, Hawley introduced a bill that would send at least $600 to every adult and child in America. The rebate would function like a refundable tax credit, similar to stimulus checks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
&#8220;Like President Trump proposed, my legislation would allow hard-working Americans to benefit from the wealth that Trump&#8217;s tariffs are returning to this country,&#8221; Hawley <a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-introduces-legislation-to-send-rebate-checks-to-working-americans/">stated</a> on Monday.
The U.S. Treasury Department recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46386524/trump-wants-blanket-tariffs-of-up-to-20-after-surprise-treasury-surplus-in-june-ed-yardeni-says-dont-push-your-luck">reported $27 billion</a> in customs duties for June, up $4 billion from the previous month. However, inflation also ticked up.
The <a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Hawley-American-Worker-Rebate-Act-Bill-Text.pdf">rebates</a> would be reduced for higher-income earners: joint filers over $150,000, heads of household over $112,500, and individuals over $75,000.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump: We&#8217;re Thinking About a Rebate</h2>
Trump himself floated the idea of rebate checks during a recent exchange with a reporter.
&#8220;We&#8217;re thinking about that actually,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U1rwjHAggc">said</a>. &#8220;We have so much money coming in from tariffs that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46653477/trump-mulls-little-rebate-for-americans-funded-by-tariff-revenue-but-heres-the-big-thing-he-wants-to-do-first">little rebate</a> for people of a certain income level might be very nice.&#8221;
Trump added that paying down debt is also a priority, but confirmed rebate checks are under serious consideration.
While Hawley&#8217;s bill is in its early stages, it may face resistance in Congress. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has previously dismissed similar direct payment proposals.

Shares of Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) are rallying on Wednesday, reversing a slight decline from the previous session as investors position themselves ahead of the company&#8217;s highly anticipated fourth-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI/earnings">earnings report</a> next Tuesday.
What To Know: The server manufacturer&#8217;s upcoming results are seen as a critical barometer of its ability to navigate a challenging landscape for AI hardware suppliers. For the fourth quarter, Wall Street analysts are forecasting earnings per share (EPS) of 44 cents on revenue of $5.88 billion. 
These figures will be closely watched after SMCI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45236823/super-micro-computer-stock-slips-after-q3-results-uncertainty-and-tariffs-may-have-a-short-term-impact-ceo-says">missed expectations</a> in the third quarter, delivering an EPS of 31 cents on revenue of $4.6 billion, which CEO Charles Liang attributed to &#8220;economic uncertainty and tariff impacts.&#8221;
Investor caution has been amplified by recent headwinds, including news of a potential slowdown in the large-scale &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46559061/whats-going-on-with-super-micro-computer-stock-6">Stargate</a>&#8221; AI supercomputer project involving SoftBank and OpenAI, which has created uncertainty for the entire hardware sector.
Reflecting this cautious atmosphere, recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI/earnings">analyst ratings</a> have been mixed. While firms like JP Morgan and Mizuho have maintained Neutral ratings on the stock in July, Bank of America initiated its coverage with an &#8220;Underperform&#8221; rating. 
Next week's earnings release and subsequent management commentary will be pivotal in providing clarity on the company&#8217;s trajectory for the remainder of the year. 
Benzinga Edge Rankings: According to <a href="http://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Edge</a> stock rankings, which measure a stock&#8217;s investment appeal across four key metrics, SMCI demonstrates a particularly strong profile in fundamentals and expansion. The company boasts an exceptional Quality score of 95.36, suggesting it is a financially healthy and well-managed enterprise. 
This is complemented by a very high Growth score of 87.60, reflecting its rapid expansion and strong performance in the market. The stock also carries significant Momentum with a score of 78.85.

Super Micro Computer (SMCI) Shares Climb Wednesday As Investors Await Crucial Earnings

President Donald Trump&#8216;s views about the dollar are getting strong pushback from economists like Europac.com Chief Economist and Global Strategist Peter Schiff.&nbsp;
&#8220;Trump said he wants a strong dollar but he also wants a weaker dollar. He says a strong dollar makes you feel better, but a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213361/trump-is-slamming-jerome-powell-because-he-wants-a-weaker-dollar-says-ed-yardeni-pounding-powell-pounding-the-dollar">weak dollar</a> makes you richer,&#8221; Schiff <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1948759696782823707">wrote on X</a> last week.
He added that although Trump claims he crushed inflation, his policies are highly inflationary, saying, &#8220;Trump's weak dollar dream will be a nightmare.&#8221;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Defends a Weaker Dollar, But Economists Aren&#8217;t Buying It</h2>
What caused Schiff&#8217;s comments is what Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday: &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar, not a weak dollar, but a weaker dollar than you do with a strong dollar.&#8221;
Trump argued that a strong dollar &#8220;sounds good&#8221; and helps with inflation, but he also said, &#8220;You can&#8217;t sell tractors, you can&#8217;t sell trucks, you can&#8217;t sell anything.&#8221; He claimed that countries like China and Japan have long pushed for weaker currencies to dominate global markets.
Financial experts, however, warn that Trump&#8217;s stance could backfire.

9i Capital Group Chief Executive Officer Kevin Thompson told <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-defends-weak-dollar-economic-analysts-respond-2104336">Newsweek</a> that while a weaker dollar helps U.S. exporters and multinational corporations, it can be bad news for households.
&#8220;The U.S. is a consumer-driven, import-heavy economy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;A weaker dollar makes imports more expensive, which can drive inflation. So while there are benefits on the corporate side, it also hurts households by increasing the cost of everyday goods.&#8221;
Thompson also took issue with Trump's claim that the U.S. has &#8220;wiped out inflation.&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s dead wrong,&#8221; Thompson told Newsweek. &#8220;We&#8217;re still seeing elevated prices in areas like energy, particularly piped gas, and in household essentials. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43748849/food-prices-are-expected-to-keep-rising-in-2025-ramsey-solutions-explains-why-grocery-prices-are-so-high-offers-tips-for-saving">Food costs continue to climb</a>, especially meat, and many families are seeing higher utility bills.&#8221;
The dollar has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/25/07/46203857/pay-attention-to-trump-musk-feud-worst-start-to-dollar-since-1973-stock-market-bulls-celebrate">dropped over 10% this year</a> compared to a basket of foreign currencies.

Trump has said a weaker dollar could help U.S. manufacturers compete globally and boost tourism. He cited the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/07/46447368/heres-how-much-you-would-have-made-owning-caterpillar-stock-in-the-last-5-years">recent rise</a> in Caterpillar Inc.

Still, economists caution that a weaker dollar also means Americans pay more when they travel abroad and face higher prices on imported goods.
While the president insists his policies are aimed at strengthening the economy, critics argue that continued deficit spending and rising debt are already shaking global confidence in the dollar.
As Schiff <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1922327956925366308">wrote on X</a> back in May, &#8220;The yield on 10-year Treasuries is back up to 4.5% as the U.S. dollar resumes its broad-based decline.
