I don't have a subscription to WaPo so can't access the article.... Some checks may be late due to having to add this to the paper checks! www.washingtonpost.com/

Article is dated April 14. So trump's moronic idea came true.
Fucking disgusting. All my check is is an advance of my 2020 tax refund. This is no free gimme from the government.
Fortunately, my check will be electronically deposited so I don't have that idiot's written name in my house.
Shame on the Treasury department. Shame.

In unprecedented move, Treasury orders Trump’s name printed on stimulus checks
The department’s decision could slow the checks’ 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.
It will be the first time a president’s name appears on an IRS disbursement, whether a routine refund or one of the handful of checks the government has issued to taxpayers in recent decades either to stimulate a down economy or share the dividends of a strong one.
Treasury officials disputed that the checks would be delayed.

Of course buddy Steve orders Trump's name on the checks to stay in Trump's good graces. Not surprised. More interesting is will Trump supporters see this as Trump trying to buy American votes? Because I am convinced if this was not Trump, especially if it were a non GOP President, they would be setting posting records on how the President is trying to buy the 2020 election using tax payer money. (And Twitter, FB posts etc. )

Free reelection flyers for the man on the golden throne! Don't think for one moment that that is not the main reason for wanting his name on these checks - this is the man who loves the uneducated and is now buying their votes at $1,200/ per

I thought if they were getting a paper check it was going to be late anyway. Does anyone really lok at the signature of a check these days? They only care there is one there.

If I were a Trump supporter, I don't know how I could spin this directly either. I would also have to "no big deal it" also.

The first president to ever have his name on a treasury check. Even Bush's stimulus checks didn't. Such a baby trump. And using taxpayers money to fund his campaign.

They only care there is one there. trump's name is not on the signature line. It is on the memo line. And because this is an unusual check issuance, yes, people will look at the whole check including the memo line. On the memo line it will read: Economic Impact Payment Donald J Trump

So payment for the economic impact Trump had by delaying his response, firing CDC folks, and general scoffing at the “hoax”. OK.
We won’t be getting one so won’t have to see it.

FOCUS PEOPLE: this thread is about the President, our President, putting his name on government checks sent out to individuals. It is the FIRST TIME in the history of our nation that it has been done. This is a FUCKING big deal. Take your partisan argument shit somewhere else. Thank you.

His narcissism is front and center with this. ETA: If we can't talk about our "partisan argument shit," what is there to discuss? Yeah, he put his name on it. So what? It doesn't change the check or its purpose. It's the president's way of showing off and blatantly angling for votes from people too stupid to figure out that he personally didn't write the check.

His narcissism is front and center with this. You have answered your own question. This has nothing to do with the politics of the issuing of stimulus checks. This is about Donald J. Trump destroying our national norms.

There should be zero discuss of this. It is simply wrong for him to have his name put on the checks. Should the stimulus money be sent? Should you accept it? Fine issues to discuss. The President's name on checks? No! Just fucking no.
