The White House claims that the delay does not stem from Trump\u2019s name being added, but instead, Democrats refusing to allow the estimated 70 million paper checks to be sent only to registered Republicans with an official mail-in ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe cannot let Crazy Nancy Pelosi continue to delay these important payments any longer,\u201d stated Trump. \u201cAmericans are hurting, and every day they wait for this aid is another day they cannot make vital contributions to my re-election campaign, or much needed upgrades to Mar-A-Lago. Putting my name on the check simply eliminates the middle man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When questioned about the legality and ethics of such a move at his daily Coronavirus briefing, Trump remarked, \u201cWhen somebody&#8217;s the President of the United States, the authority is total. As President, I call the shots in terms of how tax dollars are spent, and there\u2019s no greater spender of tax dollars in history than me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The White House offered clarification that American taxpayers are not actually receiving nothing, but will receive a free 2020 Make America Great Again campaign cap and a complimentary 2-week supply of hydroxychloroquine rectal suppositories.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC &#8211; Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has announced that paper stimulus checks being sent to millions of American workers impacted by Coronavirus will be delayed until President Donald Trump&#8217;s name can be printed as the recipient.&nbsp; \u201cAccording to the law, a President is not authorized to be a signer for legal disbursements from the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":965,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-national-politics","wpcat-9-id","wpcat-10-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/takomatorch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/received_242541453782896.jpeg?fit=745%2C327&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paPZSG-fy","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=964"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":966,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964\/revisions\/966"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
