This is wrong on so many levels it's not even funny. This fund was set up to help small businesses recover losses from the terrorist attack, and make up for lost sales. Trump didn't suffer at all. There was obviously no physical damage, and no evidence of any lost sales. In fact, just the opposite - Trump's occupancy rate most likely shot up at 100% as companies tried to find new locations to continue.
At the same time, this was set up for "small businesses". This means they make "less than six million dollars a year". Trump claimed he made $26 million that year from that location - well over the allowed amount. And this number too is most likely incorrect - That is a seventy story office building and you just know it made more than $26 million in 2001.
Pure bullshit.
But let's investigate emails again. |
Why this dopey moron insists on writing this stuff when he's not watching his wife getting pummeled by big black nigs is beyond me, can only be summed up by one word : cuckold
Trump?s was among over 14,000 companies that received grants totalling $530 million. That includes other firms like the Rockefeller Group, Ford Motors, Dell Inc., Morgan Stanley and the Bank of China.
Our ruling
Crowley said Trump "cashed in, collecting $150,000 in federal funds intended to help small businesses recover ? even though days after the attack Trump said his properties were not affected."
Trump did receive a grant for his building at 40 Wall Street, which was less than a mile away from the Trade Center, but the property was eligible under the grant criteria.
He also did say in 2001 that his properties were not affected by the attack, although he likely meant physically. The grant also provided compensation for economic losses.
We rate Crowley?s claim Half True.
