This is pathetic. These people really need the money but he is putting his ego and political gain first. Sad!
BTW you all realize that check Treasury is sending you with Trump's name scribbled on it is your money, right? It's your tax dollars that congress appropriated. Trump is basically the guy who "lends" you back your own lawnmower he borrowed and has had at his house for months…

In a break in protocol, President Trump’s signature will appear on the economic stimulus checks that will be mailed to millions of Americans. His name will appear on the “memo” section because he is not legally authorized to sign such disbursements. https://t.co/8PXmytQVuZ

Trump’s name will be printed on stimulus government checks sent to tens of millions of Americans, essentially claiming personal credit for himself as no other president has ever done on checks issued with taxpayer money. @Reinlwapo https://t.co/AYGcs3dkdY

The IRS has direct deposit information for about 80 million Americans. Their payments will not be delayed by Trump's ego needs.
It's the taxpayers who don't do direct deposit who are exposed to payment delay. Good guess they are poorer and older.
Biden, Bernie, Warren, Schumer, Pelosi and every other elected Democrat should go on TV tomorrow and let people know that the checks they need to put food on their table are being delayed for one reason:

Donald Trump’s ego. https://t.co/8cKsG830fF
The delivery of $1200 stimulus checks to needy Americans is delayed so that President Trump's name can be printed on the checks (nothing like this happened with any previous president). OK. So I suggest that Trump's name also be put on top of tax bills. https://t.co/ECS8tfIQxC
