Trump is having his signature printed on coronavirus stimulus checks

https://nypost.com/2020/04/14/trump-has-signature-printed-on-coronavirus-stimulus-checks/

EXCERPT...
The coronavirus stimulus checks are getting a bit of the president’s personal flair.

The Treasury Department has ordered President Trump’s signature to be printed on the checks the IRS sending to tens of millions of Americans — a mandate that will slow the delivery of the badly needed aid by several days, according to a report in the Washington Post.

“President Donald J. Trump” will be emblazoned on the left side of the $1,200 checks scheduled to begin heading out to 70 million Americans in the next few days, the paper reported.

Trump had reportedly pressed Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to allow him to sign the checks, but the president is not authorized to do so.

The president’s signature has never before graced an IRS payout; checks from the Treasury Department are typically signed by a civil servant to present the payments as nonpartisan.

Oh, look. The derp media found a way to 'blame Trump' again.

In the meantime, my son and daughter in law got 1200 American direct deposited into their accounts today.

I'm really starting to dislike the media.

Almost all will be direct deposit.
Actual checks will be rare, and with a Trump signature,
could wind up being worth more than face value.

I suspect this is fake news, anyway.
