People receiving stimulus checks get letter signed by President Donald Trump

(CNN)If you're getting money from the federal government as part of the recent stimulus response to the coronavirus, you'll also get a letter from President Donald Trump explaining why.

CNN has obtained a copy of the letter signed by the President and sent to recipients of the stimulus payments.

The letter reads, in part, "We are fully committed to ensuring that you and your family have the support you need to get through this time," and notifies the recipient exactly how much they would receive and how. On the other side of the letter is a translated Spanish version of the same text.

Trump goes on to thank Congress for working with his administration in passing the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), "which I proudly signed into law."

I'll write on it exactly what I think of MF45, in terminology that will not get me investigated, and mail it back to the White House. I'll print off a few memes and enclose them in the envelope.

Someone working in the mailroom will be amused

I still got this stinking letter with The White House at the top and dump's KKK signature
on the bottom...pisses me off, as usual taking credit when his party initially didn't want
any stimulus for the poor or retired people and are fighting against any future payments
to anyone other than businesses. As I have read anyway...

I took a black sharpie and scribbled out his stupid signature and "President Donald J. Trump" on both sides (the back side is the same letter in Spanish). Nothing in the letter lines up with anything the douche bag has said in his pressers especially the part about being concerned for all Americans.

and received Trump's stupid letter yesterday. His campaign should be billed for the mailing expense.

I am trying to figure out an appropriate method of disposal.
