Schumer proposes measure to keep Trump's name off coronavirus stimulus checks
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer is not pleased that President Donald Trump's name will appear on stimulus checks being sent out to millions of Americans – and he is planning to put forward legislation to stop it from happening again.
The No Politics in Pandemic Recovery Act, or No PR Act, proposed by Schumer would prohibit the use of any taxpayer funds "for any publicity or promotional activity that includes the names, likeness, or signature" of Trump or Vice President Mike Pence.
"President Trump unfortunately appears to see the pandemic as just another opportunity to promote his own political interests. The No PR Act puts an end to the president’s exploitation of taxpayer money for promotional material that only benefits his re-election campaign," Schumer said in a statement. "Delaying the release of stimulus checks so his signature could be added is a waste of time and money."
The Treasury Department insisted there was "absolutely no delay whatsoever" in getting out the checks, which included up to $1,200 per American taxpayer as part of a $2 trillion stimulus package passed in March known as the CARES A. That statement came after The Washington Post – which first reported Trump's name would be included on the checks – cited senior IRS officials who believed adding the president's moniker was sure to slow the process down.

Nor any automatic deposits in the bank.
But you know that he insisted his name be on the checks and the letter, and then he pretended he had nothing to do with it.
Please, please, please...
