In an unprecedented move, President Donald Trump successfully got his name stamped onto the COVID-19 relief checks that many Americans will soon be receiving.

Now he’s being slammed online for the blatant self-glorification and the possibility that the payments will be delayed as a result.


Several Democratic lawmakers and other critics pointed out the obvious: Trump putting his name on the taxpayer-funded checks is an attempt to take credit for the payments as he refuses to take responsibility for his administration’s failure to quickly respond to the coronavirus pandemic:

If he's going to put his name on stimulus checks, then his name also belongs on every death certificate that resulted from his 70-day delay in taking action.

We should print Trump’s name on the death certificates of the 25,000 Americans who have died from coronavirus while we’re at it.

1. He's just trying to save the government a buck

He probably thinks that some liberals won't cash theirs because of it. Maybe use it as toilet paper instead.

8. If you can deposit checks with your phone you can do both

Take the pittance and still wipe your ass with the physical check..

2. He's the doddering old uncle everyone has to abide at dinners

Yeah, I know but let him go for a while and that’ll be it.

3. I like to look at it a different way:

Trump.....an attempt to take credit for the payments

instead:

it's Trump taking credit for the pandemic.

4. That is precisely how this should be framed.

"Hello, taxpayer. My incompetence cost you your job, your income, maybe your home, and possibly your life. But here's some change I'll throw you (which I dug out of your own pocket) to make up for it. Enjoy!"

7. 'zakly!

5. Yeah, between checks and death certificates, he only deserves to have his name on the latter.
