As his administration makes plans to combat the economic damage caused by the coronavirus with direct payments to Americans, President Donald Trump reportedly conferred with aides behind closed doors Wednesday to confirm he would be among those citizens receiving a pair of $1,000 checks.

“Hey, I’m also getting in on this deal, right?” Trump reportedly said to a White House economic strategist he had pulled aside, asking him to double-check the list of recipients and make sure he was on there, since he was “an American too, after all,” and it was “only fair” he receive the same assistance as everyone else. - The Onion

... that he could pick up the checks for John Barron, John Miller and David Dennison. After confirming that "Chicks will get checks too" he added Carolin Gallego to the list of people he would picks up checks for, adding "Can they be made out to 'Cash'?"
