Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer is reportedly planning to introduce a provision that would prevent President Trump from placing his name on any additional coronavirus stimulus checks.

The provision, dubbed the No PR Act, would be included in the next coronavirus stimulus package and ensure that no federal funding would go toward “promotional material” that benefits Trump or Vice President Pence, Politico reported.

The move from the New York Democrat follows the Treasury Department’s decision to order Trump’s name to be printed on the $1,200 stimulus checks going to millions of Americans impacted by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. The checks are one of the products of the $2.2 trillion relief package Congress approved in March.

  1. Chuckie – all you’re worried about is Trump being re-elected.

    maybe you should worry about New York hospitals “neglecting” their patients.

  2. Recently on New York AM 970 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, claimed that in 2014 the Obama administration funded the Wuhan laboratory in which the coronavirus is believed to have come out of.
    Giuliani then called for an investigation to look into what Obama and Dr. Anthony Fauci knew about the lab in Wuhan when they sent $3.7 million.
    According to Breitbart, “You could say [China’s experimenting] … was for the purpose of weaponizing it,” Giuliani stated. “Back in 2014, the Obama administration prohibited the U.S. from giving money to any laboratory, including in the U.S., that was fooling around with these viruses. Prohibited! Despite that, Dr. Fauci gave $3.7 million to the Wuhan laboratory. And then even after the State Department issued reports about how unsafe that laboratory was, and how suspicious they were in the way they were developing a virus that could be transmitted to humans, we never pulled that money. So, something here is going on, John. I don’t want to make any accusations. But there was more knowledge about what was going on in China with our scientific people then they disclosed to us when this first came out. I mean, just think of it, if this laboratory turns out to be the place where the virus came from — we paid for it. We paid for the damn virus that’s killing us.”
    “Today, if I were U.S. Attorney, I’d open an investigation into the Wuhan laboratory,” he said. “And I’d want to know what did we know? How much did we know about how bad the practices were there? Who knew about it? And who sent them money anyway? And that person would sure as heck be in front of a grand jury trying to explain to me — what are you asleep?”

  3. This is the best thing for the reelection of Trump. As of now, it’s not looking particulaly good for him. He needs the childish democratic fight again, and that spotlight it comes with.

  4. By FAR, this is the biggest concern the American People have. The senate should prioritize this concern over anything else, since frankly there is nothing else going on in the Senate and most of the country too.

  5. As a republican voter, I’m happy to call that horrible mess of insurance obamacare. The demon-crats got their name on something and we want something too.

    Nahh feeeaa

  6. We deserve what we get. Electing democRATic bums in ny and New Jersey got us to be the number one victims of corona.

  7. It’s PAST TIME for the DEMS to CEASE FIGHTING over THIS SORT OF THING !!! It’s a DRAIN on TIME, MONEY, and RESOURCES which we CAN’T AFFORD AT THE PRESENT TIME with this COVID Virus Crisis sweeping the land.

  8. as a wise man once said “your a big overgrown baby”
    thousands of people are dying, millions have lost their job, and the economy is in the dumps, but our biggest problem is that the Presidents name is on the check. i mean this seems to be a life and death crisis we better fix all the checks asap!!!!
