Treasury Dept. orders Trump's name to be printed on coronavirus stimulus checks: report

Don't be fooled, it's your tax money he is giving back to you.
Just trying to make the weak minded think that the money is coming directly from trump.
He is just a circus clown huckster peddling snake oil.
The Treasury Department ordered that President Trump’s name be printed on stimulus checks being sent to millions of American workers impacted by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, The Washington Post reported Tuesday, citing senior IRS officials.
The move, which marks the first time a president’s name will appear on a disbursement from the IRS, will reportedly cause delays for some of the $1,200 payments Congress approved in the $2 trillion stimulus package last month, two senior agency officials told the newspaper.
The Treasury Department denied that the development caused a delay, telling the Post that the "Economic Impact Payment checks are scheduled to go out on time and exactly as planned."
The department did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill.
Trump's full name will appear on the memo line, the Post reported. About 70 million Americans are expected to receive the check with Trump's name.
The move to place Trump's name on the checks came after the president privately suggested doing so to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the newspaper reported.
A president is not authorized to be a signer for legal disbursements by the U.S. Treasury, but administration officials said that Trump's name would instead be featured below a line that reads, "Economic Impact Payment."
An official from the the Treasury Department's Bureau of the Fiscal Service will be the official signatory of the stimulus checks.
The checks are set to be mailed to individuals the IRS does not have banking information for, the Post reported, noting that the payments are separate from the ones the agency deposited to 80 million Americans' bank accounts earlier this week. The direct deposit payments don't bear Trump's name.
A Treasury official told the Post that the decision regarding the new checks was communicated to the IRS’s information technology team on Tuesday. Adding Trump's name reportedly involves altering computer code that could delay the payments, the official said.
The $2 trillion economic relief package Trump signed last month was aimed at helping American workers and small businesses impacted by the pandemic. Under the legislation, Americans who made up to $75,000 in 2019 are eligible for the full $1,200 payment. Couples who filed taxes jointly and have an income of less than $150,000 can receive $2,400, with another $500 per child. Checks began arriving in Americans' bank accounts last weekend, the IRS said.
Trump in early April denied wanting to sign the stimulus checks being doled out to Americans, following reports that he had expressed interest in doing so.
"Me sign? No," Trump said during a White House briefing April 3. "There’s millions of checks. I’m going to sign them? No. It’s a Trump administration initiative. But do I want to sign them? No."
Approximately 150 million Americans qualify for the one-time $1,200 payment, which is aimed at easing the economic impact of the pandemic for individuals.
The coronavirus outbreak led to a mass closure of nonessential businesses, as governors around the nation instituted stay-at-home measures to slow the spread of the disease. The virtual shutdown of the economy led to a staggering surge in unemployment claims, as many companies have laid off workers because of a halt to business.

God came to Trump and offered him the ownership of every high rise in New York. The only requirement was that he couldn’t put his name on any of them. Trump turned him down.

You only proved that he is compassionate about the less fortunate as well. Yes he loves the uneducated as well, so that's why he sent you the check. LOL

I got the cash deposited in my bank account last night.
I'm really quite surprised!
Would have thought that such a successful insurance agent/professional photographer/computer programmer/world traveler/history scholar would not have qualified for the payment...too many income streams.

It kind of sounds like he could be 130 years old to accomplish all that.
