I bet every single Trump basher, “not my president” Trump hater, will be first in line to cash those checks.
 
what a goofball, I think its pretty cool. having the current presidents name on things given by the government like that would be cool, maybe a reminder for people to pray for their leaders, and it would make things like old cards and ids sort of cool to collect. it is probably from a place of pride, or sin, but you gotta make the best out of what you get, and God gave us this.

I think I’ll buy some patristics with my check, maybe a bike and a kalimba instrument. kendama too? other than/if not bills, what will you guys buy with yours?

Nether are half the things negatively attributed to him, but since we are told the buck stops with the President, I guess the bucks can start with him too.
 
Mnuchin says no to Harriet Tubman but yes to Trump? That’s significant and very revealing.

It makes sense that the post office won’t put a person on a stamp until her or she has been dead 5 years.

The check isn’t from him. You do know that, don’t you?

It’s not! He’s not writing them himself? 😮 (sarcasm intended)*

Of course I know where it comes from.

Trump had privately suggested to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who oversees the IRS, to allow the president to formally sign the checks, according to three administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The checks will instead bear Trump’s name in the memo line, below a line that reads, “Economic Impact Payment,” the administration officials said.

Another nonstory. . Hearsay.

Are we that bored?

Donald Trump Stalls $1,200 Relief Checks to Slap His Name on Them

Meanwhile, one out of every three renters in America failed to pay their rent at the start of April.

In U.S. history, a president’s name has never appeared on a government check, reports the Washington Post . In fact, the president can’t sign checks from the Treasury because he isn’t the signatory—typically, a civil servant signs such checks to make sure that federal payments are nonpartisan. At a press briefing earlier this month, Trump vehemently denied rumors that he wanted to sign the relief checks, saying, “No. Me sign? No. There’s millions of checks.”

Despite IRS officials telling the Post that the last-minute revisions will likely cause delays, the Trump administration insists that the checks will go out at the start of next week.

a politician slapping their name on something to bring attention to themselves is hardly unprecedented. I have seen many signs entering a state, county, or city with the governors, county executive, or mayors name predominately displayed. I recall a bus i once saw provided to city residents that had the mayors name in large font down the side. There are probably more roadworks signs with a politicians name who secured funding on it than there are without. I have a general distaste for all of this but i hardly see it as unprecedented. pompous actions such as these seem to be standard politicking.
