Why didn't trump back date the bribe checks?

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Just wondering?

[shanti]

1. Because he's an idiot?

Who thought he was untouchable?

6. I was thinking stupid but..

I think I like idiot better.

2. He thought it was successfully disguised as a monthly retainer fee.

3. He's not bright enough to think of that

Plus, the bank stamps the date the checks cleared, so the bank would catch the deception AFAIK.

4. It's not 1989. Banks catch that shit.

5. Probably go stale after 90 or 180 days.

Most business account checks have a thing that they're void if not cashed within some number of days. Norm is 90 but I think you can do 60 or 180. So if they were all back dated to, say 1/1/17 before being sworn in, the May and beyond checks might be void.

That's the business reason.

The real reason - he's too f'ing stupid to have thought of it.
