Trump businesses barred from getting coronavirus stimulus money.

From the article:

Lawmakers and the White House reached an agreement early Wednesday after days of tense, roller-coaster negotiations that added to uncertainty in markets.

Democrats and other critics of the president were concerned that Trump's businesses would receive bailout money because the tourism industry is one of the hardest-hit by the coronavirus, which has spurred leaders to restrict travel and companies to cut capacity and close up shop.
The measure will also ban businesses controlled by Vice President Mike Pence, Cabinet members and lawmakers from receiving the funds, according to details circulated by Schumer, D-N.Y.

This should be no problem for the swamp draining, man of the people, Donald Trump. He said he would probably end up losing money as President because he would be far too busy running the country.

It would be truly ironic if another Trump lie turned out to be true.

1. He will find a way around it

He will find a way to give extra funds to a business owned by a friendly donor, who will then funnel the extra funds to donnie.

There's just *no way* he's not gonna grift big time somehow.

3. He will do his best, (or his worst?) to evade the law.

It is his personal and business history, But assuming he loses in November, President Biden should make it one of many priorities to make certain this did not happen.

2. Given his evasions on emolulments, tax returns, etc., have to be very wary.

[If he could somehow get his hands on the funds, very unlikely any chance of getting it back through the courts, etc.]

4. Agreed.

Trump is a crook. So if he can avoid the law, he will.

5. Good. I was really concerned about this, so this is great. And ya, he will do the criminal if he can
