Bailouts (Updated)


One business that theTrump organization is involved in is hotels. The Marriott hotel people have laid off 75% of its headquarters organization in Bethesda, MD ... and an equivalent percentage of its hotel staffs around the world. Obviously, Trump’s hotels are suffering an equivalent impact.

The question then becomes: Should the current Congressional $2 trillion bailout bill benefit Trump’s interests on an equivalent basis as it benefits the Marriott organization? I don’t see how it can’t. But such a potential bailout sends the Libs into paroxysms of outrage. (Watch for their snarky comments.)

Really, the only way that Democrats would calm down would be for the Trump organization to declare bankruptcy ... and Trump himself to succumb to the coronavirus.

Afterward: Heard Don Jr. on the radio today and he said that the Trump organization has been specifically excluded in the bailout bill. (Also see comments.)

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. He made this bed, he can die in it.

A little harsh, no?

Relative to the exclusion of the Trump organization from bailout funds, I thought Bills of Retainer were illegal under the Constitution?
