Trump orders his name to appear on the stimulus checks

....what's next? Trump on the 100 Dollar Bill?

The Treasury Department has ordered President Trump’s name printed on stimulus checks the Internal Revenue Service is rushing to send to tens of millions of Americans, a process that could slow their delivery by a few days, senior IRS officials said.

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.

Whaaaaatttt? Outrageous! No picture? Where’s his picture?

 

[HARK!]

Small potatoes. He should have gone for getting his face on a $1000 bill. They might be commonplace once the inflation to cover all of these checks hits.

Started a thread already, but I'll tell ya, if he wants to impress me, he can sign the death certificates...

It's not his money! The money was allocated by Congress; the Executive Branch, including Trump, are simply the distributors. I'm thankful I'm getting mine electronically!

They had trouble getting cherubs and the holy light of god shining upon him just right.

Just a note - it looks like if you OWED money on the last tax return you filed, they can't do direct deposit even if you paid electronically.

But you can set up direct deposit at Get My Payment | Internal Revenue Service by providing some info from your last return and your banking information.

Electronic description: "IRS TREAS 310 TAX REF"

I'm shocked that none of the regular apologists have ducked in to defend Trump's narcissism and utter classlessness.

ah, I missed it...

At Donald's request, stimulus checks will have his name on them.

If you do this kind of stuff you have to do it with style.

Best case I read about was a guy who printed the picture of himself and his pretty new wife to alimony checks he sent to his ex-wife.

Does his ego have no limit?

Does his ego have no limit?

No.

next question?

I got mine by direct deposit, like 90% of Americans will -

Can't seem to find a signature anywhere.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

Sad! Mine deposited last night and the stamp says ORIG CO NAME: IRS TREA 310... blah blah blah.

So, thank you IRS!

Trump didn’t have room for all his families.
