Imagine burning your stimulus check to own President Donald Trump?
Well, you may start seeing TikTok videos of these actions in the coming days as “President Donald J. Trump” will be printed on tens of millions of stimulus checks.
It is unprecedented, but the Internal Revenue Service confirmed that the addition of Trump’s name will not delay the issuance of “Economic Impact Payment” checks.
“Economic Impact Payment checks are scheduled to go out on time and exactly as planned — there is no delay whatsoever,” Treasury Department said in a statement. “In fact, we expect the first checks to be in the mail early next week, which is well in advance of when the first checks went out in 2008 and well in advance of initial estimates.”
When the president was asked about this on Wednesday, he told reporters:
“I do understand it’s not delaying anything, and I’m satisfied with that,” he said. “I’m sure people will be very happy to get a big, fat, beautiful check and my name is on it.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the move “shameful.”
Either way, this is some epic trollery on the part of President Trump. Plus, it could save the federal government money since some leftists would be triggered by his name that they would tear the checks apart.
Well played, Mr. President. Well played.
