Stimulus Checks Halted For Trump's Signature!

The Drudge Report is hammering Trump for this.
For Black America, we all are sick! - John Hope Bryant.

For me, I am frustrated.

Millions of Americans are out of jobs because of COVID-19. Some are struggling to pay their bills and feed their families. This CARES Act was passed recently to help Americans out of work some relief during this coronavirus pandemic.

Some Americans are seeing the $1,200 stimulus in their pockets. Those who signed up for direct deposit will likely get their stimulus check within days.

However, Donald J. Trump wants to take "credit" for this.

The U.S. Treasury Department had reported ordered engravers to insert Trump's name to be printed on the paper checks. The Internal Revenue Service is planning on sending tens of millions of Americans these checks.

This delaying of the stimulus to those who are expected to get paper checks is frivolous.

The decision to have Trump's name on the paper checks was made on Tuesday.

The Washington Post broke the news and it's rocked the nation.

Two senior officials told the Post that the decision would probably set back the delivery date on the first set of paper checks -- potentially slowing a process that could already take up to 20 weeks. But the Treasury Department denied the claim, with a department spokesperson assuring the Post that the first batch of checks was still slated to go out next week.

Trump's name will be on all paper checks sent to people who are receiving stimulus payments. Many others are receiving the payments through direct deposit, if they have their bank information on file with the Tresuary Department.

Trump has also threatened to pull funding from the World Health Organization. He blamed them for the not informing the U.S. about the coronavirus. He claims that "shutting down the borders and banning Chinese travelers" slowed the coronavirus.

For three months until he declared a national emergency, he claimed the Democrats manufactured a hoax. Trump campaigned. He golfed. He had visits at Mar a Largo and Trump owned properties. He said that this will magically disappear. He said people will get better. He said this will die with the heat. Trump had his allies on the far-white promote an unproven medicine (hydroxychloroquine) to cure the coronavirus. He has blamed Barack Obama for his own decision to dismantle the pandemic response unit.
