[C]

A proposal to pay low and middle income Americans $2,000 a person from new tariff revenue for would cost about $600 billion, according to a study from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

So far, tariffs imposed by President Trump have generated about $100 billion in revenue and are projected to raise about $300 billion per year. Given that, the study finds dividend payments would cost about twice as much as revenue raise.
