Trump is not rich

Sweet

The gall of some people.

Remarkable aren't they?

FUCK NO buried him with it.

By no means, as they didn't do the same for their tenants!

What a loser.

Seriously? And that shows just how much Trump has our Nation’s best interests at heart.

Lying fascist Chinese News Network CNN, but it’s ok for Hunter Biden to still be receiving $5 billion from China! China owns Alzheimer Joe and CNN! Lying hypocritical bigots!

But but but I thought they were billionaires!

Someday Donald fake President Trump will have to answer for all the cheating on Taxws and all lies he tells! History will show this Ptresidency as the worst in American history!

Oh hell no! HELL NO! He wants money for Marilago too. HELL NO. He has made millions off the backs of taxpayers already that was illegal. He doesn't pay any taxes. He has nothing coming. There's yet to be ANY help for small businesses. None! Only wealthy corporations and banks

Ridiculous, where is his money from The Apprentice

Nope

Pray they go broke

No words...

No

But I thought the family was really rich.

Lmao a break for what they got the money

She signed a bill that made him and his family members and his businesses exempt from that stimulus package they are not entitled to anything

Ok.. so? Why is this a problem?

If I tell you I saw this coming. It was in my tweet a week ago. He said I love this country is a lie. 1. First wife . 2. Second wife. 3. Third wife was bought ok. He love the Heroes when they need to be manipulated. Messed up the constitution that he claim he love I can go on.

Uhh WHAT

This is your president! Trump did everything for himself, not for you! not for your country! not for the whole world!!

And this is DIFFERENT than any other business how 🤔🤔🤔 As usual CNN = BULLSHIT 😂 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲TRUMP 2020 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

That's very normal, no issue at all.

That’s the “CARE Act”. Crazy not to do it

You have got to be kidding? Screw them.

Sic taking money from starving kids

Like it or not his family has business as most of the dems do and you do not mention them do you. Hate spewer that is all you say but Trump is doing good and you are not good to dem voters who should be told what the President is doing 24/7 but you say all hate filled not true

Oh, hell no. They can go down the tubes just like everyone else. Liquidate some of those 'bestest' properties he has around the world. Need cash? Sell a hotel or two. Maybe Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud can float him a little cash.

More fake news from the Clinton News Network

Um no

I'm an American living in Peru and I can't even find someone to inform me of the process of how to claim my relief check! And Trump is bailing out his hotels to the tune of millions of dollars! My grandchildren cry at night due to empty stomachs! Where is tbe humanity! Alan Hardy

Hahahaha

If Trump is a so called billionaire why would he need a bailout? 😂

No, no and no

😠😠

Yes they really need help

I haven't looked into this, but considering it's from CNN, it's most likely a total manipulation of the truth at best, if not a flat out lie.

THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST CORRUPT FIRST FAMILY IN US HISTORY!!!! A DISASTER SINCE DAY ONE!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO VOTE THEM OUT IN NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!

He’s losing his shirt, that’s all he cares about.

So? They’d be stupid not to ask

Um, no.

The Trump Organization should be put on trial!

Close the sucker😝🦠🦠🦠🦠

Absolutely yes! Free money for all!

Really? Is Kushner giving rent breaks and relief to his renters? Are Trump corporations giving rent breaks and relief to their renters? Is Hannity giving rent breaks and relief to his many low income renters?

For some reason I just don't believe you

Nope !!! They shouldn’t be allowed to get anything !

We don't get a break on our rent or leases. Why should they?

Fuq no.

People are getting evicted sell the thing shouldn’t have it in the first place

Charge them double. They have been ripping off the American people since his election and probably before it as well

Fuck them.. aren't they the best business people in the world..

Umm NO! 😡

Shame on them

Like hundreds of other companies.

Aren't they affected by this pandemic created by China?

One ordinance away!!

F U

Nope then give the citizens a break in all their bills too.

Its a business with employees & families supported by those jobs. What is wrong with you ?

Hell NO!

No conflict of interest here

🙄

DENIED!! He and his family are excluded from the bailouts. He lined his pockets with enough of our tax dollars already!!!

Owe so graitfyl for u kindness owe grate won.

Where was the break on my rent?! I fucking lost my house. Fuck this guy.

🤮

Oh my god now I’ve heard everything unbelievable

ridiculous, FOH😠

If it’s good for harvard....

Of course they are. SOP for 👑 Trump

Yeah cause they aren’t taking any of the loan money you dipshits. This is hurting the employees not the trump family I realize that totally escapes your mind cause you are so close minded and are idiots but just think about that for a minute 🖕🏾

Isn’t he supposed to be a billionaire?

The stupidity just never stops

Hell no!!!

Get all the way out of my face with this bs

Ahh noooooooo!!!!!!!!

An exception could apply to all hotels or to no hotels at all. There is no acceptable way to make an exception just for one privately run hotel which has no historical relevance. HelpSaveSmallBusinesses justice EqualityForAll Equality

WOW 😳

Not unless everyone else get those breaks too

Hasnt there been enough money that has gone their way ? Havent the tax payers paid sooo much for this family already ? Enough .

Denied

Of course they would. Always a way to get a freebie

If I worked there I would put my phone on call forward to Nancy Polosi

But realDonaldTrump is a billionaire but can’t make his lease payment? AnotherTrumpFailure

Gag!

😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Are they kidding? Ohh hell to the NO

Oh this is HILARIOUS!

Hell NO!

If he’s so rich why not pay his own rent.

After they've made millions with their huge groups of Saudi visitors? Please keep us informed of this.

lol

LoriSums Has this been confirmed?

Are you kidding

How about they open it up for free lodging for the homeless and ill? Or for medical first responders?

Hell no. He's supposedly so rich anyway, why would he even ask for federal money And yet I'm betting he'll get whatever he wants and then some. Disgusting.

Oh hell no!

Oh, like every other hotel and motel chain is doing the same? Democrats put this into last package just to punish Trump. Disgusting!!!!

Wtf

The reason why Trump doesn’t want to invoke the Defense Production Act, is because he doesn’t want to give up his hotels as Hospitals.

BUT WAIT! I thought realDonaldTrump was a BILLIONAIRE?!?! Like, MANY Xs over?!?! Could it be that Don The Con has been LYING about that? 😒 TrumpLiesAmericansDie

This is why his businesses should have been placed in a trust till he left office

Isn't Trump a billionaire? Shouldn't the family be able to ride out this crisis - and donate millions upon millions to causes that help us through this, like other billionaires are doing?

nice try

I’m sure every NY hotel is. What’s the point?

Aha that interesting...let's see what the govt does there

Should be publicly considered against the tax records of all the Trump family..

all businesses are suffering...they are a hotel with staff to pay or do you really care about people? ...no you don't that's why you lie constantly.

Hahahaha. Its all a hoax, remember? What a losing bunch of thugs.

Hell No!

Give me a break👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

I thought Trump said he was a billionaire.

The CORRUPTION is FRONT & CENTER! Politics So in essence he using the bailout to bail out his Hotels while only approving a one time Stimulus chk of $1200 fir struggling American families. He just gave us $40.00 a day to live off of while ensuring the safety of his family biz

He can afford that shit pay your own shit...

Fuck that!!

coton_luver Please, federal government, drag him.

Hell No!! 45failed miserably and no longer credible...best not give $$$ otherwise he’s in trouble

Conflict of interest realDonaldTrump

Companies that make gr8 efforts to constantly hide truths, abuse loopholes at the cost of those less privileged, abuse the powerless, decieve stockholders, investors & customers, & who hide criminal intent, such as the Trump Org, should not be allowed such funds. CrookedCompany

Of course they are

Homeless shelter.

Isn't he a billionaire? So why asking for financial help.....

The stable genius and billionaire?

Lyin Cryin News

Yes they need break to pay juniors girl friends salary $180,000 yr.

If only we had insisted he show us his tax returns... and by “we” I mean Republi-fuckers.

NO

Conflict of interest!

How about the federal government helps all the small business that are really hurting at this point. Instead giving rent breaks. That’s why I’m a big supporter of small businesses. Eat shop and stay at small mom and pops places local businesses supportsmallbusiness

Who gives a shit

Are you kidding? It’s almost like they’re only in business to make money! Unbelievable!🙄

But how will they pay for it?

No do not allow it. He is the same person that is s this Pugh on others who are struggling. Let’s see how he feels needing help and not getting it. Why doesn’t he use the paychecks he is supposedly donating to pay his lease? Heislyingabouthiswealth

No. No. No. just no.

Meanwhile Nancy is eating ice cream!

OH HELL NO! realDonaldTrump and family did not give any breaks to taxpayers in charging for rooms for government staff. Let them file bankruptcy! They do on all their other properties!

My fellow Americans Hold up, HOLD UP! THE OWNER OF THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION DONALD JOHN TRUMP IS ASKING THE DONALD TRUMP GOVERNMENT TO GIVE HIM A BREAK ON RENT🤔🤔🤔 That sounds CRIMINAL realDonaldTrump

I'm sure DonnyT's personal lawyer, billybarr, will find a little known obscure rarely used constitutional exception that gives a president the right to hold lease payments on personal hotel properties owned by the federal government during a pandemic. sarcasmisfun

And what about these elite colleges receiving funds while they sit on billions of dollars?

Biden would offshore it.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me

3L3V3NTH What, bankruptcy is to good for the Trump family now?

No.

Oh the stories ... just wait another 5 years when the full light of day is shone onto the twisted creaturistic things these freaks have done

Absolutely not. Why are Republicans not saying a fucking WORD about this Goddamn traitors and thieves. Every last one of them.

That’s balls... unf***ing believeable

Grift, part 736

Still a citizen , still has equal rights under the law.

NO!

Ahhhh NO

I don’t care if it is a Trump hotel or not, this unfair regardless of qirntshipis in shambles and must be adequately saved (with conditions as with all federal asstownxe). Don’t discriminate either way...

NO NOT NEVER

No surprise here realDonaldTrump takes care of his own first and foremost. trumpthegrifter Americafails trumptower

Just like when DonTheCon claimed 9/11 relief funds even though his properties weren't damaged(?). We can't stand so much 'winning' ! LOL

Nope.

He’s never had near the $ his cult believes. His tax returns are private because of evasion and they reveal how little he has. Trump should pay his rent a because he can.

They r a business...just in case the fake news didn’t realize that...it’s hard to believe but it is!! He was a businessman & owns a lot..

Rateros...

I wouldn’t grant it to this con. Let him know the true struggle many are experiencing.

Meh, just fire all the workers and install robots. NY doesn’t deserve a penny from the Trump family.

realDonaldTrump needs US government subsidies to replace funding from foreign governments paid through his hotel. This health shut-down is really hurting his grafting activities.

It is the peoples' money and they have taken enough and should not qualify. Somebody keep your eye on Mnuchin.

Isn't the owner, like, a BILLIONAIRE?!!?

No

Would Jared Kushner give his tenants living in a slum a break on their lease payments? I fuckin doubt it

Nope!

should be treated no different than any other hotel

If other hotel's are then what's the problem i heard Trump,s son say they would just expect what any competitors would be getting or not. But you knew fake news was going to come up with a story like this your to predictable.

Hopefully no !

LilNasX I used your song Rodeo to make a song educating people about coronavirus Covid19 COVID19Nigeria Makeitgoviral NCDCgov NTANewsNow officialnairam1

Reasonable.

Кто-то верит в это?

That man is broke.He is poor at business.That is why he is hiding his tax returns

Good he deserves it..

Unbelievable! How low will the Trump family stoop!?

Yeah, that sounds like a big old bowl of Fuck That Soup.

But Harvard get $9 million is ok?

Isn't that illegal, but then it is Trump, who breaks all laws?

1 of many things President Biden should do on day 1 is terminate the lease, evict the trump crime family and return this to use as a government building

Screw them they're used to filing bankruptcy

Hell no ! No hands out . Let that shit sink to the bottom . Ain't he a billionaire he brag said he was rich

OMG!!!

Can't wait to hear the excuses conservatives come up with to defend this one 😂
