Trump's Name to be on 70 million Relief Checks

[Washington Examiner, via Bongino] Those receiving coronavirus relief checks will now reportedly see the words, "President Donald J. Trump" printed on their checks.
This may not be his smartest play, unless his intent is to troll the media.
The Treasury Department finalized the decision late Monday, with some senior officials w~~ho cannot be named because they'd be identified as leakers~~ saying that the move may slow delivery of the checks, the Washington Post reported Tuesday. It will be the first time that a president's name has appeared on an IRS disbursement.

The coronavirus relief payments started landing in bank accounts last week and will continue to be directly deposited this week. The addition of the president's name only affects the approximately 70 million who will receive physical checks in the mail.

Despite some officials saying that there might be a delay in when the checks arrive, a Treasury Department spokeswoman said the plan is proceeding as scheduled. "Economic Impact Payment checks are scheduled to go out on time and exactly as planned ‐ there is absolutely no delay whatsoever," she said.

#1 I like the story about the guy who got his stimulus check and found his bank account $8 mil richer instead of only $1200 (He couldn't keep it).

#2 Definitely a bit tacky (imagine if Obama had done such a thing). But, you know what? So, what?! TDS is already red-lined. What President Trump does or doesn't do makes little to no difference to the TDS'ers. But, by golly, you know his name on the checks is driving them bat-egesta crazy!

#7 No doubt. All of the proceeds from her legislation went to her hubby. And I'm sure she still has a little stash from her daddy's mob connections in Baltimore.
