Donald Trump demands his own signature be on coronavirus stimulus checks to every American

[Soph0571]

“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.”

Not sure that is going to save him... but yeah, that makes perfect sense for him try and take the credit in that way. He is nothing if he is not predictable. He is probably hoping the cult will be so excited to get something with his signature on, that they will frame it rather than cash it!!! And they probably will...

1. Is that actually legal?

this fucker is sick! It's not his money.

2. Let him put his stamp on this trumpvirus...

Remind everyone it’s COVID-45.

[duforsure]

3. It'll just put that name on it who caused this to be much worse

His legacy will be his failure to protect us from this virus , and how much he's lied . His legacy will forever be known for what he refused to do causing more to suffer and die from his refusal to act when he should have. trump failed us all. His name on it will just remind everyone more of his failures now, not help him like he thinks.

8. It's NOT his money, be has no business signing anything.

This money will come from the US Treasury, collected from American taxpayers. Trump has nothing to do with it.

Trump is trying to exploit this money by turning it into a campaign stunt. It's nothing more than a blatant attempt to deceive the recipients, trick them into believing that Trump himself is giving them money.

9. typical. taking credit for others giving. shit. the post card covid thing had is name.

10. Maybe he could put his signature on some death certificates while he's at it.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Only if it's coming out of his bank account.

[PA Democrat]

16. Which would mean the checks would bounce!

[Takket]

13. The Secretary of the Treasury has to do that

[Chainfire]

15. There is great political value

In having his name on the checks. It is an election year, you know.

"Donald Trump sent me $1,200.00."

17. Can you still sign a check over to someone else?

It'd make a great Biden campaign commercial to show a bunch of checks with Dipshit 45's signature getting donated to Joe Biden.

[Timmygoat]

18. But!!!!

He said this was a democratic hoax.
