Donald Trump DEMANDS his own signature be on coronavirus stimulus checks to every American: report

[TheBlackAdder]

.

On Friday, President Donald Trump signed into law a record $2 trillion stimulus bill to help those suffering from the coronavirus pandemic — part of which involves one-time cash payments being sent out to tens of millions of American households.

But according to The Wall Street Journal, Trump wants those checks to be sent out explicitly in his name.

“Mr. Trump has told people he wants his signature to appear on the direct payment checks that will go out to many Americans in the coming weeks, according to an administration official,” wrote Siobhan Hughes and Natalie Andrews. “Normally, a civil servant — the disbursing officer for the payment center — would sign federal checks, said Don Hammond, a former senior Treasury Department official.”

The White House declined to comment on the report.

1. Looking for onion.....alas this is real.

[dewsgirl]

15. Me too.🙄

[JennyMominFL]

2. haha

How does that work with direct deposit? Most of us will get them that way.

[TheBlackAdder]

3. He'll demand a fake check be sent.

[NoMoreRepugs]

4. As long as Pelosi co-signs the checks - fine.

[Under The Radar]

5. Direct payments were meant to mean direct deposits....

Where there are no actual checks

[subterranean]

17. That's only if the IRS has your direct deposit information.

People like me who did not receive a refund by direct deposit in the last 2 or 3 years will get paper checks instead of a direct deposit.

6. "Hold up! I want this to be a campaign stunt!"

[crickets]

14. +1

[stillcool]

7. schmuck...everything he does..

makes him so small and petty. I'm reminded of something Michelle Obama said...The presidency doesn't change who you are, as much as it reveals who you are.

[tanyev]

8. That makes me want to donate every penny to Biden.

[Drumpf hater]

9. I think we should send -$900 million checks to every American with Drumpf's signature on them

In honor of his net worth circa 1991. That’s the equivalent of over -$1.7 billion today.

I still am mind boggled about how getting that poor is possible.

[Demovictory9]

10. does he want his face on the dollar bill also?

[Under The Radar]

11. Better Yet, print and deliver 190 million of those fuckers

.....By tractor trailer rig and forklift them into the Oval Office and tell Lard Ass that he has two weeks to sign and lick the f—king envelopes and mail them...we will let Hope Hicks help him a little.

[fescuerescue]

12. From a purely political standpoint.

It's pretty smart.

That is worth millions in campaign exposure.

While that doesn't appeal to intelligent people like us...it does appeal to the dumb people who he needs to vote for him.

13. How many people get actual checks nowadays?

[Dale Neiburg]

16. I'm not sure if I'll be getting a check

My first impulse, if I do, was to tear it up and send the pieces back.

But I think a better response would be to go ahead and deposit it -- then send a check for the same amount to my state's Planned Parenthood, with a note telling them where the money came from.

And then send a ltte to the local weekly paper saying the same thing.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Only if they come out of his bank account. If it's from the US Treasury,

it needs an authorized signature of the US treasurer.

[smirkymonkey]

19. I will get direct deposit.

Not the full amount, quite a bit less. But even if I saw his signature, it would not sway my opinion either way.

[Poiuyt]

20. Does he have the authority to demand this?

Will anyone stand in his way? I’m guessing not.

[IcyPeas]

21. everything is about publicity for him

everything has to have his name on it. the checks are another ad.

[tavernier]

22. I don't want anything with his 666 stamp on it.

Cash it and send it to any charity associated with Obama.

[spanone]

23. I DEMAND HE RESIGN
