Colbert later tackled Trump’s decision in his monologue, noting that Trump isn’t legally allowed to sign the checks from the I.R.S., so Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin ordered his name to be written in the “memo” section. “Still better than Trump’s alternative,” Colbert cracked, “tucking the cash directly into Americans’ G-strings.”, Kimmel fumed over Trump’s desire to plaster his name on this check when, not only is it not his money he’s giving away, but, “He didn’t even put his name on the check he sent Stormy Daniels.” Kimmel noted that the stimulus checks are effectively funded by American tax dollars, adding, “As far as I know, [Trump] doesn’t even pay taxes. He certainly hasn’t produced any evidence of it.
