With most people receiving direct deposits, it's not a big deal unless the shipment of these checks is being delayed because of it, (which is being reported in some outlets such as The Washington Post and MarketWatch) ... but it is just one more testament to what an egotistical person Donald Trump is, and how even during the middle of a crisis, he is concentrating on scoring political points and being at the center of attention. Trump has a compulsive need for recognition and gratitude. The president is not actually authorized to sign checks from the U.S. Treasury, so Trump's signature will have to appear in the memo space on the bottom left, across from the authorized signature of a nonpartisan Bureau of Fiscal Service. No other president would demand something as trite as this. It's ridiculous and speaks to his ego.
