Does this also fall under - "Cronyism" too? As the practice of partiality in awarding jobs and other advantages to friends or trusted colleagues, especially in politics and between politicians and supportive organizations.

From Link of further breakdown that - That 11 News Organizations SUED FOR ITS RELEASE....

The data reveals the most complete accounting to date of the more than $700 billion in forgivable loans Congress and the Trump administration introduced in the spring for allowable expenses, including payroll, rent, utilities and mortgage interest payments.

The data reveals the most complete accounting to date of the more than $700 billion in forgivable loans Congress and the Trump administration introduced in the spring for allowable expenses, including payroll, rent, utilities and mortgage interest payments.

- Over 25 PPP loans worth more than $3.65 million were given to businesses with addresses at Trump and Kushner real estate properties, paying rent to those owners. Fifteen of the businesses self-reported that they only kept one job, zero jobs or did not report a number at all.
- The loans to businesses located at Trump and Kushner properties included a $2,164,543 loan to the Triomphe Restaurant Corp., at the Trump International Hotel & Tower in New York City. The company reported the money didn’t go to keeping any jobs. It later closed.
- A company called LB City Inc, which is located at Kushner’s Bungalow Hotel in Long Branch, New Jersey, received a loan for $505,552.50 that it used to keep 155 jobs.
- Two tenants at 725 5th Avenue, Trump Tower, received more than $100,000 and kept only three jobs.
- Four tenants at the Kushner-owned 666 5th Avenue combined received more than $204,000, and retained only six jobs.

Your title is completely misleading. Trump and Kushner did not receive 3.65M. The tenants in the some of the buildings that they own received 3.65 million dollars in loans. That has nothing to do with Trump or Mushner

We ARE not USED TO ANYONE BUT A LAWYER BE IN POLITICS.

"were given to businesses with addresses at Trump and Kushner real estate properties"

Just because a business leases space in a building it has nothing to do with the OWNER of the building.

Trump is a business man. If things are done for business's theer is no reason to exclude HIS business just because he is president.

My understanding is the PPP loans didn't give any scrutiny to business - so it wouldn't fall under Cronyism, since it would have been open to their businesses/tenants had Hillary won in 2016.

Both parties signed off on the give away.

They had no special access. Pretty simple answer. Not cronyism.

the OP is Fake News with the title.

now, the PPP was a "good idea" with some lax oversight, given the desire to get the money out ASAP.

Another shining example of the DNC media shaping the hatred of Trump with a misleading article that the average liberal is unable to understand.

The fact that this story is believable, true or not, is a testament to the reputation (poor, as it turns out) of those people.

People expect the worst from the Trumps, and most Republican politicians generally, because they have seen too much already.

I suggest that it's worth further study.

Can you look at the facts and articulate exactly what Trump and Kushner did that is outrageous?


Trump owns buildings and rents it out other businesses that Trump doesn't own. Those businesses LEGALLY participated in PPP. Those businesses used their PPP to stay in business, which helped them pay rent to Trump - something that PPP LEGALLY allows for.

Where is the scandal?

There is no special treatment. There are no laws broken.

Isn't this just more TDS Drama Queen hype?
