Anyone who cashes it (or doesn't refuse the deposit) will be actively participating in socialism.... Just sayin. If you ***** cash a check I will be expecting you to forego your right to vote.Don ... Are you going to refuse the funds? We won’t be getting any checks. I’m also not the one that said those who get SS checks, welfare checks, or are college students should not be allowed to vote. That would be ednkris. Are you good with simple arithmetic?

I frankly don't really care who signs the check. It's getting money to the people who need it. "I don't care about the proceedings as long as the right person ends up in jail"? I'm not sure what your problem with me is today. I think it's a move to make stupid people love him, and wholly inappropriate. But in the end, does it really make a difference?

I see your point, but in long string of wholly inappropriate/illegal/stupid/narcissistic/otherwise not kosher things Trump has done, this one isn't even a blip on my radar. I'm actually surpised it took him this long to do it. Sadly, I've become numb inside.

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. I read the entire article and it said it was the idea of two senators to put Trumps name on it. I paid no federal income tax as usual, no check for me, DW ? Didn't see that reference in the article.

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. Kind of like changing the name of the Social Security check to Federal Benefit Payment? Where was your outrage ?

Remember when he was running and said he'd "act presidential" when he was elected? I guess the reason he isn't acting presidential is because he wasn't really elected, only became president because of the electoral college.

it will be long forgotten by November. Yes, but it does set a precedent. What other things will Trump or future Presidents slap their name on while in office to further their agenda? When will Trump have his name as part of a new bill or act or something else official?

One of the actual reasons he isn't acting presidential is his current behavior is being enabled by the GOP.

I couldn't care less whether there is a name or signature on there or not. All having to deal with a check causes is extra work for me. Deposit said check to the Bank I love to hate, then wait till it clears, then go to my bank online and transfer the funds from the I hate bank to my regular one.
And really folks, your silliness about these checks is just as silly as mine. Can we all just grow up.?

And, FWIW, I am an adult. I served my country. I have a BA in Political Science. I have financially supported myself and my country for over forty years. I have grown up. If you haven't, that is on you.

There is no good reason for his name/signature to be on the check except to feed his ego. For him to even care about this given our current circumstances just shows how skewed his priorities are. he cannot let any possible stroking of his ego to go by unnoticed, even in they face of a crisis. If that is not sad, I do not know what is.

That is because the executive branch and the republican party in general is enabling him. He actually needs someone to stand up to him for the good of the country. We are in a freaking crisis.

Article dated March 28, 2020: Report: Trump Wants His Signature on Stimulus Checks
In a move that should surprise no one, President Donald Trump reportedly wants his signature on the checks that will be sent out to many Americans after Congress passed a $2 trillion stimulus bill with overwhelming bipartisan support. The Wall Street Journal reported Friday evening that Trump wants his name of the checks, citing an unnamed administration official. Normally, a civil servant would sign them. It’s a move that various commentators predicted in the days for the bill became law.
