From Brian Williams programs:

Apologies if mentioned:

Is he really going to have his insecure signature on the checks? Glad mine will be a direct deposit. And I hope like hell that the entry on the account will not be: Donald Trump.

And he apparently mentioned several CEOs in his self delusion diatribe so when the early open fails he will have these CEOs to blame.

for the checks, and Trump's will be a "design" inserted in a blank area to the left. It's liable to offend a lot of people who aren't completely ignorant. Good.

But it's the NY Post, so what are you seeing?

Trump is Having His Signature Printed On Coronavirus Stimulus Checks

The coronavirus stimulus checks are getting a bit of the president’s personal flair.

The Treasury Department has ordered President Trump’s signature to be printed on the checks the IRS sending to tens of millions of Americans — a mandate that will slow the delivery of the badly needed aid by several days, according to a report in the Washington Post.

“President Donald J. Trump” will be emblazoned on the left side of the $1,200 checks scheduled to begin heading out to 70 million Americans in the next few days, the paper reported.

Trump had reportedly pressed Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to allow him to sign the checks, but the president is not authorized to do so.

The unprecedented decision, finalized late Monday, means that when recipients open the $1,200 paper checks the IRS is scheduled to begin sending to 70 million Americans in coming days, “President Donald J. Trump” will appear on the left side of the payment.

Citing senior agency officials, the Post reported that the words "President Donald J. Trump" would appear in the memo line on the left side of the checks -- marking the first time a president's written name is featured on an IRS check.

For all we know, it is in fact and reality not yet determined.

Last line of the CNN quote is "a president's written name is featured." To me, written means handwritten signature, and printed means typeface/font, like a newspaper. Can't be sure if journalists are considering that distinction, or if they're being lied to or not.
