.
On Friday, President Donald Trump signed into law a record $2 trillion stimulus bill to help those suffering from the coronavirus pandemic part of which involves one-time cash payments being sent out to tens of millions of American households.
But according to The Wall Street Journal, Trump wants those checks to be sent out explicitly in his name.
Mr. Trump has told people he wants his signature to appear on the direct payment checks that will go out to many Americans in the coming weeks, according to an administration official, wrote Siobhan Hughes and Natalie Andrews. Normally, a civil servant the disbursing officer for the payment center would sign federal checks, said Don Hammond, a former senior Treasury Department official.
The White House declined to comment on the report.

I still am mind boggled about how getting that poor is possible.

(3,404 posts).....By tractor trailer rig and forklift them into the Oval Office and tell Lard Ass that he has two weeks to sign and lick the fking envelopes and mail them...we will let Hope Hicks help him a little.

That is worth millions in campaign exposure.
While that doesn't appeal to intelligent people like us...it does appeal to the dumb people who he needs to vote for him.

(698 posts)My first impulse, if I do, was to tear it up and send the pieces back.
But I think a better response would be to go ahead and deposit it -- then send a check for the same amount to my state's Planned Parenthood, with a note telling them where the money came from.
And then send a ltte to the local weekly paper saying the same thing.
