Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Sunday that paper checks to Americans receiving coronavirus stimulus payments will go out "next week." In a gaggle with reporters, Mnuchin said he also hoped more Americans would enter their bank account information on the IRS' website to receive direct deposit payments as well.

In an interview Sunday with CNN's "State of the Union," he also said it was his idea to print President Donald Trump's name on the coronavirus checks.

"As it relates to the president's name on it, we could have — the president could have been authorized to sign the checks," Mnuchin said. "That would have slowed things down. We didn't want to do that. We did put the president's name on the check. That was my idea. He is the president, and I think it's a — it's a terrific symbol to the American public."

It won't be a signature, but "President Donald J. Trump" will be printed on the fronts of the checks, a Treasury Department official confirmed to NBC News last week.

1. Campaigning...

Gee, more campaigning.

So, send us OUR money, (taxpayers) and put El Presidente's name on it in order to obviously campaign and also confuse the gullible who might think, "Oh, isn't it so wonderful of Dear Leader to send me a check when I need it! I will vote for him to show my appreciation."

That's the wrong kind of stimulus there because it has a string attached to it in that respect.

Isn't this the first time they are putting the (so-called) President's name on a Treasury check? I haven't looked that up.

5. Canadians applied Apr 6 for $2000/mo wage replacement. Millions got it 2 days later

It was a staggered 4 day application period. Most people got direct deposit two or three days after applying.
