He also wanted to sign them but was told the president isn’t allowed to do that
like a real-life trucker. So, really, it’s not that surprising to learn that in the midst of an unprecedented health and economic disaster, Trump demanded that his name appear on the $1,200 stimulus checks being sent to struggling Americans, despite the fact that the absurd request may delay the distribution of the funds.
Unfortunately, Hooper and other rational people don’t get to decide, and because this administration is mostly stocked with lackeys, the president’s demand, however ridiculous and counterproductive it may be, is moving forward. 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.
“Any last-minute request like this will create a downstream snarl that will result in a delay,” Hooper said, though the administration absolutely insists that there will be no delay so the man-child in chief can have his ego stroked.
