2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumRep. Jo Crowley just said Trump cashed in on 9/11
He got $150k in federal funds earmarked for small businesses hurt by that tragic day. Even though he stated none of his businesses were affected.
Just when I thought he couldn't be anymore atrocious
And how could our government allow that to happen?!

(3,626 posts)12. well Snopes says that the claim that he illegally got the money is mostly false
but the claim is that he "Cashed in" i.e. that he may have had a technical legal right to the money, but he didn't have a real need, that money could have gone to someone else, and he certainly played no leadership role in rebuilding NY or helping after 9/11.
