Trump's name on coronavirus stimulus checks could become a 2020 campaign issue

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On Tuesday night, the Washington Post published a story that had been bubbling for weeks: The Trump administration was ordering that the president’s name appear on the memo line of the paper coronavirus stimulus checks set to be distributed soon.

The question was whether the change — which the IRS was reportedly only alerted to on Tuesday — would delay the checks actually being disbursed. Millions of Americans will receive their “Economic Impact Payments” via direct deposit, which do not include the president’s name.

The Washington Post reported that the process could “slow their delivery by a few days.” Chad Hooper, national president of the IRS-founded Professional Managers Association (PMA), told Yahoo Finance that "reprogramming historically has led to delays.”

In 2001, the government sent a retroactive tax rebate as part of President George W. Bush’s tax legislation. Then, the 2008 Economic Stimulus Act, also during the Bush administration, included checks of $600 per individual with $300 per dependent child. The president’s name did not appear on checks in either of these instances.

2. Campaign issue how?

This is a Hyperpartisan polarized country on Steriods, by the time this Virus situation levels off id say 85% of voters have made up their minds if they are voting R OR D in the fall? JUST MY OPINION..

The Orangina has been scared of facing Biden since day one, that's why he was impeached! IM just glad someone blew the whistle..

If voter turnout in Heavy the Democrats will WIN!!, just look at the 2018 midterms, a 41 seat pickup in the HOUSE...

I just Don't see how this fat lump of sh!ts autograph on anything is going to matter, F@CK HIM...

5. Delay isn't the issue. It's obvious campaigning, like wearing the MAGAt cap on official visits

like the photo ops while visiting (as official president) wounded military.

6. If I get a check with his name on it oh have to

Use it to wipe my dog's ass with after I direct deposit on my phone

7. There has to be some campaign finance law prohibiting this

For one thing, he's using government funds as a campaign tactic. And its abuse of his office.
