Just an idea about trump signed stimulus checks

What if I take my actual physical check (because will have it mailed to me, not direct deposit) and auction it off and use the money to donate to a charity. These checks, with the beasts signature, will become one of the most incredible documents in American history. Some people might want a copy for that very reason. History will condemn trump to hell with the likes of failed despots.

He didn't actually sign them. His name is *printed* on them. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2020 #1
True, not a real signature however still historical for collectors? Miigwech Apr 2020 #3
It won't be a collector's item if there are millions of them. Cash the check. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2020 #4

But even that was an unprecedented ego trip. Go ahead and cash your check because it's worth exactly what it says it's worth.

By law, he cannot officially endorse the checks.

If I see his signature, I will block it out with a fat marker before I cash it. If enough people do it, the trend may become viral and his stunt will backfire right in his lying orange face.

if I could add "is a shit-eating fuck-wit" after his name and it would still be cash-able.

But we got our deposit directly today so I will have no paper to play with.


I wish I was well enough off that I could donate the whole thing to Planned Parenthood but I need some food and electricity. I'll still help them though.

He wants his name on checks for vanity, so he can say "he" paid people, but have to wonder if some think perhaps some idiots will think his name stamped on millions of checks will somehow be valuable some day. I say no. Worthless, unless you cash it in, but hey, remember Beenie Babies?
