Donald Trump’s building at 40 Wall Street is located a mile from ground zero, yet Donald Trump joined in with fellow bigwigs to take that money from the mouths of business owners, some of whom had to close shop completely after the attack. Trump granted the money after he was able to prove that the business located at 40 Wall Street only had $26 in its bank account.
How exactly Trump’s financially failing business qualified for a $150,000 grant from Empire State Development Corporation, money meant for buildings that were structurally damaged during the attack, is beyond most people with functioning brains, but that is exactly what he did. The federal government is responsible for allowing the large corporations to take advantage of the funds set up for Americans who actually needed it.
The real clincher, is the fact that the business located at 40 Wall Street brings in an annual revenue of $8 million, which clearly disqualifies if from being considered a small business. Also, even if there were structural damages to the building, Donald Trump could have easily afforded to fix it himself. Trump, however, decided to take advantage of the federal government’s generosity.
Regardless of how exactly The Donald was granted the funds, taking money from the people who were actually affected by the falling of the World Trade Center is beyond appalling, it’s unforgivable. For all the small business owners whose livelihood would have been lost had they not received the grant, this money was needed more than Donald Trump will ever know.
JUST IN: Donald Trump Took $150,000 In Federal Relief Aid Meant For Victims Of 9/11 Attack
There are several sources for this story. If true, may the Donald burn in hell.
Who says $8 million disqualifies it from being a small business? Obviously, the author doesn't know if there was structural damage to the building. Why isn't Trump's business just as entitled as any other business to receive government benefits?
This story appears to be mostly a load of biased horseshit.
Coming from Red State it's a hit piece for sure. NY Daily News tried the hit on Trump back in 2006. Now his opponents have dragged it out again. Good grief they are desperate.
And I love it.
They are throwing everything they can at him. Most of it is pathetic and contrived. Hillary has a dozen scandals that are 10 times worse than anything they can conjure up against Trump.
