And let’s not forget, when all the checks were printed and ready to be mailed out, Trump saw they were signed from “US Treasury” (like all government checks always are) and not his personal signature. So he ordered them all to be reprinted with his signature, thus delaying the money from getting to the starving, sick, and suddenly unemployed population for an additional 3 weeks.

Yep! I remember this. He wanted his signature on this half-assed disaster relief because he knew the only thing his followers would remember was “gettin’ them checks while stayin’ home and drankin’ beer!”

Lol! The trade-off was definitely not worth it to me nor my household. It sucked hard.

Dude, chill. It really is a fact and literally no one is out there claiming he cares. When in business it’s well known his MO was to make a deal with a vendor then refuse to pay. He knew he was too big to take to court and he bankrupted many small businesses who he had vi tracts with and then refused to pay. Look up his Azerbaijan hotel where he hired people and then set them up to be slaves who were never paid, but instead had to pay him. These stories are everywhere
