In this Oct. 4, 2011, file photo, a flock of geese fly over vines at the Trump Vineyard in Charlottesville, Va.President Donald Trump’s Virginia vineyard could be eligible for a federal bailout under the $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus he signed into law last month, despite provisions in the bill that Democrats said were intended to prevent him and his family from personally benefiting.
“Let’s just see what happens, because we have to save some of these great companies,” he said on March 22, when asked specifically during a news conference if his companies would forgo such aid. After Trump refused to say whether his companies would seek aid, Democrats negotiated to add restrictions to the stimulus bill before it passed Congress preventing the president and his family from personally benefiting.The limitations don’t apply to a separate $9.5 billion fund made available for producers of “specialty crops,” which under U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines includes grapes.
Control of Trump Winery isn’t entirely clear. The president has repeatedly said he owns it. And his 2019 financial disclosure shows he collected revenue from the winery hotel and rent from the vineyard. The disclosure also states that Trump-controlled companies own Trump Vineyard Estates LLC.
Why no mention of the Pelosi Winery here? I think I know the answer to that question - politically biased media!
Of course it is ! Sick of his raping everthing !
Hahahahaha
If the winery was owned by Obama media wouldn’t say boo.
Why is this news it is a legit business
Duh? Of course it is
What’s your point? Who cares
Surprised?
Can this bankruptcy king every run anything that's successful!? USA DonaldTrump
Of course it has. He will find lots of ways to milk the relief money cow. Has the winery retooled to make hand sanitizer?
The democrats insisted on giving 25 million to the Kennedy Center. Once they got the $ they fired the orchestra and gave the $ to the Democratic Party. If trumps winery employs people then he should receive $ just like the rest of us Citizens
Good for him.. he isn't taking a pay check. He deserves a lot more for his leadership during this pandemic.
TDS
He doesn’t take a salary - businesses aren’t exempt bc of who owns them this is called discrimination
It and a million other businesses. I really doubt the legislation was tailored to bail out the President, who donates his salary to charity.
Just winery?
Oh Brother🙄
And so what is the point, why someone wrote this, it is a business like other businesses facing difficulties
Isn't that a conflict of interest? It's like fucking your client
Why does he have to be excluded from all the reliefs
His whining is eligible for relief? What about our relief from his whining?
He does have the best whine.
So?
