MarriottIntl if you get the aid will you PAY your employees?

There is no reason for realDonaldTrump to give money if you’re laying off employees. Small businesses are the ones whose really suffering. Not multi-billion dollar companies who wants to lay off hard workers. These are the times to pay attention. These companies don’t care.

You mean the very industry donald is in business in. The very same businesses he funnels tens of millions of dollars to every month? Oh ok.. sure AmericaFirst CoronavirusPandemic

Trump already gave all the money we have to these people!!! It’s OUR TURN! The American workers got squat from the GOPTaxScam while the corporations and the 1% made bank. Trump meeting with his fellow hotel buddies while waffling on helping US is totally in brand. TrumpTheLeech
