      In unprecedented move, Treasury orders Trump’s name printed on stimulus checks Lisa Rein

      The Treasury Department has ordered President Trump’s name printed on stimulus checks the Internal Revenue Service is rushing to send to tens of millions of Americans, a process that could slow their delivery by a few days, senior IRS officials said.

      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.

      If I was president, I’d make everyone write their tax due checks to me every April.

      I have a vague recollection of an FEMA alert being sent out while 45 was still president.

      Some reddit communities thought 45 would use it like social media lol. Lots of great fake alerts. Good times.
