Apparently that's not true. Like I said. Just watch what Trump does.

Two items from today's Wapo:. First this piece on Trump's determination to open the economy by May 1 and the focus on providing the president "maximum political cover." Trump’s advisers are trying to shield the president from political accountability should his move to reopen the economy prove premature and result in lost lives, and so they are trying to mobilize business executives, economists and other prominent figures to buy into the eventual White House plan, so that if it does not work, the blame can be shared broadly, according to two former administration officials familiar with the efforts. And of course... Trump insists his name be on the "stimulus" checks, because... of course... The Treasury Department has ordered President Trump’s name be 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. It will be the first time a president’s name appears on an IRS disbursement, whether a routine refund or one of the handful of checks the government has issued to taxpayers in recent decades either to stimulate a down economy or share the dividends of a strong one. Exit take: people may die, the checks may be delayed, but the priority is always... Trump. thebulwark** [ Soon the President will boast of the tens of millions of Americans who break into tears upon receiving their relief checks and fall to their knees crying, "Thank you, Lord Trump!" ]
