Apparently President Donald Trump’s name on the paper checks wasn’t enough.
Americans receiving the stimulus checks from the government’s COVID-19 relief package are also being sent letters signed by Trump saying that he “proudly signed” the legislation that made the payments happen, per CNN’s report and photos of the letters posted by check recipients on Twitter.
“I am pleased to notify you that as provided by the CARES Act, you are receiving an Economic Impact Payment of $1,200.00 by Direct Deposit,” Trump writes in CNN’s copy of the letter. “We hope this payment provides meaningful support to you during this period.”
The letters are apparently sent to both Americans who received the checks through direct deposit and those who received paper checks.
Though Trump also successfully (and controversially) got his name on the checks, it can only appear on the paper checks.
The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Well, there’s another good use of taxpayer money. Wonder how many million $$$ that has cost us?
Can’t wait to see all the brown and yellow stained letters on Twitter
Beware…
Throw away Ig-Noble Covidiot Trump’s letter…
It has Trump cooties!
And don’t forget to disinfect and wash your hands (not inject yourselves with bleach - talking to you MAGAts) after throwing the letter to the garbage!
Those papers that could have been used to make TP instead😀!
Addendum:
The jagged and volatile downward red sharpie lines sure says it all…
First one he ever signed that didn’t bounce.
How much did THIS little vanity project cost? We laughed when they hit the house…since we had direct deposit we didn’t get his signature on our check so of COURSE he had to send a letter…it hit the circular file.
