The Republican added,"I have no idea what they're talking about with regard to the one element. Everything is changing, just so you understand. It's all changing. But I have no idea."But for Democrats who took note of the exchange, this wasn't just an annoyance; it was also an opportunity to address a problem before it occurs.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has secured a provision in the agreement that will prohibit businesses controlled by the President, Vice President, Members of Congress, and heads of Executive Departments from receiving loans or investments from Treasury programs. The children, spouses and in-laws of the aforementioned principals are also included in this prohibition.
In an on-air interview this morning, CNN's John Berman asked the New York senator,"In terms of the president's own companies, I understand there is some restrictions there." Schumer replied,"We wrote a provision, not just the president, but any major figure in government -- cabinet, Senate, congressmen -- if they have majority control [in a company], they can't get grants or loans and that makes sense. Those of us who write the law shouldn't benefit from the law."
MaddowBlog Good boy Schumer. Try to focus on your constituents that are dying, because you did no heed the germ warning for 15 years
MaddowBlog How can anyone be sure Trump will not benefit? He has undone every ‘regular order’ procedure we have. I fully support Schumer, he is so smart. I hope he has done it.
MaddowBlog So let me get this correct, Schumer doesn’t want to help Trumps business but he does want it to help his. A true deep state SLIM BALL.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog HOT DAMN
MaddowBlog ..m
MaddowBlog Lol I don't think Trump needs it nor cares yet he is a tax payer, his Corp pays payroll taxes, etc so get over it.
MaddowBlog Schumer screwing the people again. Nobody in congress or senate owns a corporation so it only affects Trump. But in reality it truly hurts the employees of that corporation more than anyone. So swing and miss again. Schumer is a scumball.
MaddowBlog Schumer on camera: 'We must make sure we help the American people!' Schumer behind the scenes: 'Never mind that. This is all about burning Trump.'
MaddowBlog SenSchumer All 3 of you are talking out your butt's. Trump's empire is safe- all he has to do is write it off on taxes over a 5 year period of loss. Of course Schumer doesn't understand that as he's never held a real job in his entire life
MaddowBlog You guys are so proud but who does this hurt? It hurts workers not realDonaldTrump You are so deranged and sick you are now hurting hard working Americans. Screw SenSchumer and the Dems.
MaddowBlog Hey guys this is interesting but nobody is reporting it CNN
MaddowBlog I guess his employees aren’t Americans?🤷🏻♂️
MaddowBlog All employees in those businesses should show up with sacs of shit and leave them at Chuck’s front door.
MaddowBlog But the employees get squared away I hope. Not sure how legal it is and it seems petty unless it any business Owned by any gov official.
MaddowBlog Yesssssss more good news!
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Trump had no interest in his business benefiting from this but you keep pushing the narrative. We should be celebrating helping Americans.
MaddowBlog Schumer wants to make sure the money goes to his bodies instead
MaddowBlog Because those people with families should be punished for working for Orange man bad!
MaddowBlog And his best friends too?
MaddowBlog The President that donates his paycheck. Schumer should have been more focused on the real problem and so should you. Treating all businesses fairly is a better goal.
MaddowBlog We still need oversight! That Greedy Bastard will try as hard as he can to secure those funds for himself & cronies.
MaddowBlog Maybe Trump senses his time is short. His wrath toward his critics will come down in the months left of his power. Then the tables will be turned and he will be at the mercy of the courts and prosecutors and scorn of the American people.
MaddowBlog But every other politician's business can? Why not make it the same for all politicians and their family?
MaddowBlog What about the people that work for trumps businesses including minorities and immigrants? Let’s just throw them under the bus?
MaddowBlog GOOD, HOPE HE GOES BANKRUPT BEFORE THIS IS OVER ....
MaddowBlog He’ll do everything he can to benefit. I have no doubt.
MaddowBlog Jeesh....Dems are so absurd.
MaddowBlog turn the bitch into a hospital.
MaddowBlog Some of the reason we vote red.
MaddowBlog But that also hurt NY per Cuomo
MaddowBlog And what about the congresses raise and some dumb shit solar wind tax and fire immigrants that has nothing to do with the virus Americans r not stupif
MaddowBlog So if you are American and works for the TRUMP org, the elected DemoRats will screw you over in a time of crisis of COVID-19. Is this not racist? Msnbc
MaddowBlog HEADLINE !!!!!!!! Trump makes sure NOTHING in the Bill benefits the Fake News MSM HAHAHAHA
MaddowBlog Wow... guess average everyday americans dont work for trump? This is the TheDemocrats way of punishing any american that works for the trumps.
MaddowBlog Meanwhile the Democrats open borders and sanctuary cities caused us to spread and it’s their fault
MaddowBlog bet
MaddowBlog Why are my tax dollars still paying the salary of a man who threatened the lives of 2 Supreme Court Justices? SenSchumer
MaddowBlog Because we all know there is no nefarious Democrats in Congress....
MaddowBlog And Pelosi had the audacity to include $25,000,000 in additional 'Salaries & Expenses' for the House in her bill
MaddowBlog Oh you mean like the 25 MILLION dollars Dems wanted included in the bill for a pay raise for themselves 🤦♀️😡👊
MaddowBlog They had trump by the balls if he refused to sign he would have been exposed
MaddowBlog More lies, and insinuations. You have ONE JOB, to tell the truth. You can’t do it.
MaddowBlog JDemocrats try so hard to destroy President realDonaldTrump and nothing they do has worked. Reminds me of how Israel survives sitting in the middle of those who want to destroy it. 🤔
MaddowBlog And Trumpers are mad that their fake billionaire isn’t getting tax payer money.
MaddowBlog The only people benefiting are you snakes and your wine and finger food friends. This has become so ugly and disgusting it makes me want to vomit.
MaddowBlog He needs no stinking rescue package. He is surfing the waves of the stock market.
MaddowBlog Why wouldn’t he? His business I’m sure is affected by all of this
MaddowBlog I’m sure he and his grifting seedlings will figure out a way to steal from the system somehow. They always do.
MaddowBlog It’s not just for Trump but other big businesses too
MaddowBlog GOOD
MaddowBlog He should worry more about people and business than the president but that won’t change - Schumer = TDS
MaddowBlog That’s not fair they Bailed out all Obama’s hotels during the SARS Virus
MaddowBlog How about dipshit SenSchumer give up his paycheck and work for Free like realDonaldTrump
MaddowBlog can we ever be sure ?
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog fuck u not wanting to pay the trump businesses who ALSO HAVE REGULAR WORKERS WHO NEED PAID! WHAT ABOUT ALL OTHER Congress and senators who own businesses
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Now Sanders wants to torpedo everything because of corporate money help, and kill the stock market again. That hurts retired people and their 401Ks. Somebody rein that guy in.
MaddowBlog But Apple can
MaddowBlog That's why President's can never hold big investments while they're president. We see it here. Why has Trump gotten away with so much? In a word, McConnell.
MaddowBlog Definitely need congressional oversight! Especially with Trump.
MaddowBlog So, Maddow and Schumer want to harm the employees at any one of Trumps businesses, by withholding needed funds and benefits as established by this new law. If this actually happens, Schumer should be impeached together with Pelosi.
MaddowBlog Made my day. Let's the bastard rot.
MaddowBlog And we should believe this we have been lied to so much.
MaddowBlog Outstanding headline!
MaddowBlog I can't wait to go to Kennedy Center honors seeing how $35 million of my tax dollars are going to that function. I need to get a tux.
MaddowBlog So ..,,,,make us wait because he hates him so much
MaddowBlog What about Schumer, Pelosi and the rest of the (snakes) better known as democrats !? I bet they’re lining their pockets ! NEVER will I EVER vote for another democrat !
MaddowBlog Yes, thank you Senator Schumer
MaddowBlog They will find a way
MaddowBlog This is nothing but more crap from MSNBC, the main stream nothing but crap network.
MaddowBlog So happy sitting on your millions while hie employees don’t get paid. You are the worst of the worst.
MaddowBlog Good
MaddowBlog Trump will find a way to funnel some of this money into his own pockets,count on it-he's already spent a good chunk of the taxpayers hard earned cash on golf at his properties.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Trump and republicans have been trying to get this slush fund. Why would they not want oversight. During the republicans last bailout, CEO'S used the bailout to buy back stock for their stockholders not helping who it was aimed at THE EMPLOYEES
MaddowBlog Good. It was a conflict of interest.
MaddowBlog I guess the emoluments clause was just a 'meh?' clause that never meant anything anyway. Right?TheDemocrats gop DemWarRoom SenateDems HouseDemocrats SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff
MaddowBlog I must say, that was a really cool thing to put in the bill. I liked that part a lot.
MaddowBlog I will not be watching MSNBC until you stop airing trump's rallies. He is a liar and is sending out bad info that will cause sickness and death. DO YOUR JOB TO PROTECT US!
MaddowBlog Thank you for protecting us for big corporate bullies
MaddowBlog Benefit The businesses are taking a beating no ones benefiting
MaddowBlog Msnbc= 'Voice of CHina'
MaddowBlog They literally gave themselves a 25 million dollar raise in that bill. Why won’t MSLSD report that !!! Why do you give this a article but won’t even mention them giving themselves a raise. !! Jesus Christ dishonest media
MaddowBlog President has businesses just like all other Americans So why Shouldn't his business not be protected just like all of other Americans businesses that are going to be taken care of With taxpayers dollars....
MaddowBlog Yet they can give themselves a 25 million raise and msnbc completely ignores it. Also trump wouldn’t be benefiting it the business getting back to how it was jjst like many other businesses why are you singling ou the president.
MaddowBlog Awesome. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
MaddowBlog SenSchumer and maddow hate realDonaldTrump so much they want his employees, their children and vendors to suffer huge consequences while they play games. Maddow is SnakeOiljournalism.
MaddowBlog I’m sure all the employees will appreciate that
