The New York Daily News ran the investigation?
You know that’s a third rate tabloid, right?
That’s how he got “very,very rich.” He s in hould be required to list all taxpayer funding he has revived in building his empire.
But the ESDC’s rules transformed Trump into a small-business man. His company collected a $150,000 grant for losses at 40 Wall St. The grant application describes the corporation through which Trump owns that building as having 28 employees and $26.8 million in annual revenues. That passed the ESDC’s small business test of less than 500 employees. But the revenue amount would put the single Trump property over the federal definition of a small business - which is $6 million annually for lessors of nonresidential buildings. A Trump spokeswoman did not respond to a call and e-mail message seeking comment.
Milton Friedman used to say, “If the government offers you free money, take it!”
Swing and a miss.
Nothing burger.
Word is that little Morty Zuckermans NYDailyNews loses more than $50 million per year---can that be possible?
Donald J.Trump @realDonald Trump Feb 12
When little Morty Zuckerman closes his failing NYDailyNews will I at least be given some credit? Will happen soon.
once a crony always a crony.....and the droney’s think this crony is the answer.
“Weekly Standard”, and “National Review”, articles on Trump are dubious on their face.
These are the kinds of stories that will come pouring in if Trump is the nominee. The guy has been wheeling and dealing for half a century, you can bet there are plenty more stories that the DNC Media will serve up when the time comes.
He has been a crony capitalist all his life. Supports Kelo sucking on the teat of government for special favors. This is who this guy is.
Can we get a peek at that list the NY Daily News created, or found?
$150k is chump change even if true. Coming from the source just days before the primary I suspect the story to be BS. I would suggest we turn off all media until after the primary.
Trump has always said he uses politicians and The System to better his business.
And he once spit on the sidewalk. We have it on a grainy cell phone video.
Many buildings had air conditioner problems. It was a horrible, horrible day.
Ummm. 40 Wall Street was in the dust cloud after the towers collapsed. The neighborhood was closed for a few days after 9/11. There were losses to be spoken of and damage/disruption to that area.
It just happened to be on the right side of Broadway where the disruption was minimal. Those on the left side of Broadway were without power for months because the substation was in WTC7, which imploded that day.
And of course that evil Trump has never contributed a penny to the NYC economy, right Bill Kristol? FAIL.
Oh please really??? This is the best you have?
Oh yeah I better vote for Rubio.... NO!
LOL! S.M.H.
He wasn't in office back then. As a business owner and CEO, his first priority is to maximize the well being of his business and he did everything he could, and quite successfully so, to accomplish that goal. He neither had power nor duty to maximize the well being of the country in his position back then.
Hence the most natural conclusion is that he will work as hard and do as well in maximizing the well being of the country once he becomes its president. If in this process he ends diminishing the well being of Europe or China or Mexico,... etc, I have no problem with that.
