If you're getting money from the federal government as part of the recent stimulus response to the coronavirus, you'll also get a letter from President Donald Trump explaining why.

CNN has obtained a copy of the letter signed by the President and sent to recipients of the stimulus payments.

The one-page letter arrives in an envelope from the IRS as part of the Treasury Department, with both postage and fees paid for by the IRS, according to a notice on the envelope.

The letter reads, in part, "We are fully committed to ensuring that you and your family have the support you need to get through this time," and notifies the recipient exactly how much they would receive and how. On the other side of the letter is a translated Spanish version of the same text.

I hope it doesn't clog up the pipes when I use it to wipe my ass.

1. Wasting taxpayer money for postage to promote Donald.

Wasting taxpayer money for postage to promote Donald.

[SharonAnn]

4. But didn't he say it was thanks to the Democrats who created the bill?

[mpcamb]

13. It's part of the F--- the Post Office program.

[PatSeg]

26. If the IRS paid the postage

at least that is a positive benefit to the struggling Postal Service.

[Rebl2]

39. True

[handmade34]

2. I felt dirty

when I opened and read it... disgusting

[DonaldsRump]

3. This is all about the election

Trump is going to say "I was the one that gave you money in your time of need." Many are going be gullible enough to fall for it, much like they did in 2018 when their take-home pay SEEMED higher until it was time to file 1040s.

The Ds need to be able to counteract this seemingly idiotic and childish, but likely effective, election ploy.

It is nothing else except a ploy.

[elleng]

7. Exactly

[jimfields33]

20. That is a horrible idea

One of the worst. Put a letter you whipped your butt on with a picture of the Obama family? And how do you think that will translate with the media and this administration?

[Traildogbob]

27. Did not think it through.

Bad idea, rage takes away reasoning and cognitive thought.

[jimfields33]

37. I totally get it. I'm exactly the same way!!

[Traildogbob]

38. Maybe

Just send Postcards of the beautiful Obama family to trump with 5X postage. At least 66 million. Helps USPS and may stroke Donny body bags.

[liberalmuse]

6. I got it yesterday.

And decided to take a look at it this morning. Let's just say "The Mark of The Beast" is now a bit of ash floating in the city sewer, and yes, it was indeed cathartic to take my Bic to it. The rest of the letter went into the shredder.

[bucolic_frolic]

16. It really does call for a major league Exorcist

A direct line from Trump calls for a black cat, a boomerang, and Kahuna Magic.

[mr_lebowski]

8. As despicable as this is, and it is that ... there is potential upside ...

I would bet a SHITLOAD of people are ripping that thing open going HURRAY! MY CHECK!!!

And then ... womp-womp.

It's just a fucking letter from Trump telling me my check is coming? Are you kidding me right now?

[madeup64]

9. Love your response

"I hope it doesn't clog up the pipes when I use it to wipe my ass" - exactly what I thought reading this.
Well at least he is doing something good by providing a little free TP for a few folks.

[madeup64]

14. Oh this is great

I just read the letter is in Spanish on the backside. The Trumpites will love that.

[47of74]

28. I'll make sure to wipe on the original Germa...excuse me I meant the original English side

[ResistantAmerican17]

10. And he has the stones (shrooms) to use the Post Office

What a useless colostomy bag.

[Rollo]

11. I had direct deposit and was hoping I would escape having to see his signature...

...the deposit was two weeks ago. The letter with his sick signature came yesterday.

Ew.

[Corgigal]

41. Oh no.

I thought the same thing. Well, I can throw it out without opening it now. Thank you.

[Habibi]

45. Same here.

Was completely disgusted when I opened it.

[argyl]

46. Same here. I haven't gotten it yet.

But when I do I'm framing mine and hanging it front and center in my living room.

[Ford_Prefect]

12. I should hand deliver mine to the local GOP leadership and plaster it on their headquarters office.

They own this asshole and all he does. They think he walks on Democrats.

[PassingFair]

15. My daughter got hers in the mail on Friday.

No enclosed letter, and no signature either. His name was printed in the lower left corner though.

[yaesu]

17. well, at least that helps the TP shortage. nt

[Demonaut]

18. can you still write "return to sender"?

[Cadfael]

19. Exactly what I was wondering!

I may try when/if it shows up.....

[forgotmylogin]

25. After taping it to a brick. (n/t)

[Bayard]

21. Campaigning at taxpayer expense

Just like his daily appearances on TV. Looks like campaign finance law violation to me.

[TruckFump]

22. Exactly! 👍 EOM

[mwb970]

23. Pathetic. And futile.

[Doreen]

24. I think I am going to use some of my stimulus money

to purchase a dart board and some really sharp darts.

[marble falls]

29. If I get one I'm sending it back. The check I'm spending to help American pot farmers.

[oldsoftie]

32. Great idea! Everyone should send the letter back to DC. By the millions

[marble falls]

35. It would help the Post Office, too.

[warmfeet]

30. It flushed just fine.

Shit flows down hill. That is where the orange shitgibbon is headed.

[Javaman]

31. That was nice of him to include toilet paper.nt

[olddad65]

33. No way does he know how to even spell his name, let alone how to sign it.

[ailsagirl]

34. A real keepsake!

[3catwoman3]

36. Our direct deposit arrived well over a week ago.

No “letter” in the mail yet.

I will burn it on the driveway when it arrives.

[Rebl2]

40. Mine went in

the shredder as I cursed him.
This is nothing more than political campaign piece and I don’t understand how this is legal using tax payers money for this piece of crap.

[47of74]

43. That's a thought

Rip it into three pieces.

One for the shredder.
One for the ritual burning.
And the part with his signature used to wipe my ass.

[ReformedGOPer]

42. I got mine today. If I wanted to read propaganda,

I'll watch Fox.

[not_the_one]

44. If it isn't personalized with your name on it, DO wipe your ass with it

and then send it (the letter) back.

It is probably laid out like one of those "dear occupant" letters we all get in the mail. Or maybe, "Dear American Citizen", or current resident.

[rockfordfile]

47. How much did that cost us?

[Vinca]

48. If I get one, I'm going to send a nice thank you note and tell him

the money has been donated to the Biden campaign and that without his help, I couldn't have afforded to give so much to Biden.

[CRK7376]

49. We got our letter today.

Immediately tore it in half, crumpled the halfs up and gave one to the cat and one to the dog. Dog ate it the hacked it up an hour later. Cat just bounced it around the porch then went to the litterbox todo her business.
