“The ban on aid to Trump family businesses was heralded by Schumer in an early-morning letter to colleagues. He said the $500 billion business loan program run by the Treasury Department will have an inspector general for oversight and a ban on money flowing to Trump, whose businesses brought in $461 million in revenue in 2018.”

Continuing-

“GOP coronavirus stimulus bill unveils $1,200 checks for public In a bullet-point list of accomplishments, Schumer wrote that the bill will “[p]rohibit businesses controlled by the President, Vice President, Members of Congress, and heads of Executive Departments from receiving loans or investments from Treasury programs.”

So the NYPost just HAD to single out the President regarding the ban on aid to businesses??... turns out, all of Congress is included in the ban, too!

FU NYP.

Sounds good until you realize that the vast majority of those businesses are controlled by family members or front companies.

Why should Trump employees suffer? They will get $1200 one would hope but what about their jobs? What about the managers, accountants, maintenance crews, marketing pros and so on?

What about the utility bills, the restaurant refrigerating units, the air conditioners, the hotel suppliers, and so on and so on?

I fail to see how singling out any American business in this way is nothing more than a political hit job designed to hurt people.

Yes, but congresscritters don't, for the most part, actually own businesses that make money. What they do is have "foundations", which I am quite sure are able to collect this largess of the U.S. Taxpayer. They also launder money through their families and other dodges such as real estate.

This is nothing but a shot directly at Trump who has the audacity of actually being a successful businessman. That's how petty these cretins are.
