Trump's Manhattan Property Benefitted From Small Business Bailout

President Donald Trump’s refusal to divest from his real estate empire has resulted in a barrage of unprecedented corruption scandals as he funnels millions of dollars in campaign donations to his family through his hotels and openly charges elites for access via his Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida.

Now, Trump’s mixing of business and politics has compromised the integrity of Congress’ coronavirus crisis bailout, as the president personally benefits from a government lending program intended to help small businesses, according to data the Treasury Department recently disclosed.

“The administration rigged this program meant for struggling mom-and-pops to the benefit of the wealthy and well-connected,” said Kyle Herrig, president of Accountable.Us, a non-partisan government corruption watchdog. “It’s no surprise to see upscale businesses that send Trump rent checks manage to secure millions of dollars in taxpayer money.”
