As millions struggle to meet basic needs, Trump organization requests financial relief

“I’d be interested in knowing what help Trump and Jared are extending to their tenants as they ask for help themselves.”

While millions of Americans face uunemployment, the loss of health coverage, and difficulty affording necessities over the coming months as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, President Donald Trump’s business empire is reportedly seeking relief from outstanding debt and loans.

Trump signed a bill last week approving a one-time, means-tested $1,200 direct payment to some American workers amid the economic crisis that’s resulted from the national public health emergency that has seen more than 236,000 people in the U.S. sickened by the coronavirus. According to NBC News, those payments may not get to some households for up to five months from now, and the sum is only expected to support many recipients for about two weeks—once it arrives.

While millions of Americans struggle to pay rent and bills in the coming weeks and with little assistance being offered across-the-board by the federal government, an increasing number of U.S. residents fear they will be unable to make payments as they wait to return to work.

Meanwhile, according to the New York Times, the Trump Organization has asked its largest creditor, Deutsche Bank, if it can postpone the repayment of some of its loans. The company also requested relief from its monthly payments to Palm Beach County, Florida, for the land on which one of the president’s golf courses sits—citing the pandemic.

According to the Times, the president’s son, Eric Trump expressed hope that the county and the bank would work with the Trump Organization, which Eric—along with Donald Trump Jr.—has helped run since Trump took office.

“These days everybody is working together,” Eric Trump told the Times. “Tenants are working with landlords, landlords are working with banks. The whole world is working together as we fight through this pandemic.”

While the federal government passed a moratorium on evictions for select homeowners and renters as part of the CARES Act, relief has varied from state to state, even though residents of a majority of states have been ordered to stay at home to slow the spread of the virus.

“It’s not fair—everything is shut down, you can’t work. Our mayor says, ‘Stay home, don’t go outside,’ but we’re expected to pay the cost of subsidizing” landlords, Atlanta-based restaurant cook Casey James told the Washington Post Wednesday. “If we’re really in this disaster, everything should be frozen.”

Special treatment regarding Trump’s company’s payments while millions of Americans will be expected to fulfill their financial obligations in the coming weeks is “the nightmare scenario that everyone predicted when Trump refused to divest from his assets,” Mother Jones reporter Russ Choma tweeted.

Podcast host Joe Lockhart wondered on Twitter whether Trump’s company would allow its own tenants to skip rent payments as a result of the pandemic.

I'd be interested in knowing what help Trump and Jared are extending to their tenants as they ask for help themselves.

Trump’s Company Seeks Financial Help as Coronavirus Takes Toll

As companies nationwide look for relief, the Trump Organization has talked with Deutsche Bank and a Florida county about delaying payments on some loans and other obligations.

“We have to pay Donald Trump for the privilege of him getting to play golf during work hours at his own clubs, but he doesn’t have to pay his own bills,” wrote Crooked Media editor Brian Beutler.

Army Warned in Early February That Coronavirus Could Kill 150,000 Americans


This week, as coronavirus deaths in the U.S. spiraled upward to surpass those killed on 9/11, the White House is conceding that an optimistic assessment of the coming death toll will leave between 100,000 and 240,000 Americans dead. But if the White House had heeded an Army warning nearly two months ago, it might have prompted earlier action to prevent an outbreak that threatens to kill more Americans than two to four Vietnam Wars.

An unclassified briefing document on the novel coronavirus prepared on Feb. 3 by U.S. Army-North projected that “between 80,000 and 150,000 could die.” It framed the projection as a “Black Swan” analysis, meaning an outlier event of extreme consequence but often understood as an unlikely one.


In other words, the Army’s projections on Feb. 3 for the worst-case scenario in the coronavirus outbreak are, as of this week, the absolute best-case scenario–if not a miraculous one.

A month after the Army’s briefing, on March 4, President Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that the World Health Organization’s coronavirus death estimate of 3.4 percent was a “false number,” since it contradicted a “hunch” he had. “It’s not that severe,” the president said.


The document made it to high levels within U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM), the military command responsible for operations in North America and which aided civilian agencies’ early responses to evacuating and quarantining Americans abroad.


The document came two days after Defense Secretary Mark Esper instructed NORTHCOM to begin “prudent planning” for synchronizing a military response to a domestic COVID-19 outbreak. (That planning didn’t “indicate a greater likelihood of an event developing,” a NORTHCOM spokesman assured at the time.) Feb. 3 was also four days after Trump banned non-citizens recently in China from entering the United States.

The Daily Beast can confirm the document was seen by NORTHCOM commander Gen. Terrence O’Shaughnessy, as well as the Army-North commander, Lt. Gen. Laura Richardson, whose forces are the main contributor to NORTHCOM. It also made its way to the Department of the Army’s Pentagon headquarters, where Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville and Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy received it.

But it’s unknown how widely distributed the Army’s death estimate was. Representatives for Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley did not respond to The Daily Beast’s questions. Neither did representatives for the National Security Council and the White House. The CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined comment.

O’Shaughnessy, during a Wednesday press briefing, would not discuss the assessment but said it reflected “worst-case” planning.

“As you would expect, we do a lot of military planning, we do prudent planning for operations and clearly I’m not going to talk about operational-level details nor would I talk about an actual operational plan or planning document,” O’Shaughnessy said when The Daily Beast questioned him.

“The reality of it is is that you want us planning for the worst-case scenarios, you want us planning for the what ifs—us thinking ahead into all those things that might and could possibly happen and that’s what we’ve been doing, not only on this particular effort but on a myriad of different threats we face to the homeland.”

Richardson, the U.S. Army-North commanding general, agreed, adding, “We want to think of what could possibly be the worst-case scenario because we don’t want to be surprised when we get into the environment and we have to operate in it.”

The death estimate wasn’t the only part of the Feb. 3 briefing that proved prescient.

The black swan estimate correctly stated that asymptomatic people can “easily” transmit the virus—a finding it presented as outside the contemporary medical consensus. Military forces might be tasked with providing logistics and medical support to overwhelmed civilians, the document warned. One potential task envisioned was “provid[ing] PPE (N-95 Face Mask, Eye Protection, and Gloves) to evacuees, staff, and DoD personnel.”

The estimate also assumed that the military infections would occur “at the same rate as the population.” As of March 31, the rate of troop infection outpaced that of civilians, according to Military Times.

Another assumption appeared too optimistic. A “most likely” scenario held that “HHS and CDC, state, and local Public Health departments successfully contact traced all U.S. & Canada nCOV [novel coronavirus] cases and contain the spread of the outbreak.” Fatefully, they did not, and now the U.S. is one of the epicenters of the virus.


Trump had received briefings in January from U.S. intelligence agencies and Alex Azar, the secretary of health and human services, that warned COVID-19 would be a top-tier threat, according to The Washington Post. Similarly, the Senate Health Committee received one on Jan. 24, a little over a week before the Army assessment. While it’s unknown if the committee was provided any death estimates, the briefing occurred shortly before a senator on the committee, Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), sold off stocks ahead of market crashes.

Before and after the Army warned of the coming morbidity wave, Trump insisted publicly that the novel coronavirus was no big deal and his response was adequate. The day before the Army assessment, Trump boasted, “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.” By Feb. 24, with still no substantial testing or contact-tracing occurring, Trump tweeted, “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA.”

At a news conference two days later, Trump assured that 15 known cases of coronavirus inside the U.S. “within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”


Similarly, the military’s response did not reflect the urgency of the Feb. 3 Army document.

In late January, five days before the Army assessment, the Pentagon agreed to quarantine Americans evacuated from China and elsewhere on military bases until Feb. 15. On Feb. 3, the same day as the briefing, Esper approved an additional request for assistance from HHS that extended the housing of quarantined individuals until Feb. 29. Late that month, as the new coronavirus spread across Italy, U.S. servicemembers at the Vicenza base used by the Army hunkered down. “We meet daily, my team,” on coronavirus, Esper told a congressional hearing on Feb. 26. But he said he did not know if he would need additional funding to respond to the virus.

Indeed, the Pentagon’s major responses to coronavirus—limitations on military and dependent travel overseas, 14-day quarantines for troops returning from overseas, the provisions of military hospital ships and the Army Corps of Engineers to bolster civilian hospitals—began only in March. It wasn’t until the first week in March that the military received tests for COVID-19.

Throughout the epidemic, Esper and other senior Pentagon leaders have emphasized maintaining readiness for unrelated military operations. In late February, after U.S. ally South Korea’s military was so wracked with coronavirus it prompted canceling a major exercise, Esper assured, “I'm sure that we will remain fully ready to deal with any threats that we might face together.” Milley said on March 2 that the impact on the military was “very minimal” and he and Esper were relying on commanders to “make good judgments” about abridging training or other military commitments.


His prioritization of readiness on par with aiding the response to coronavirus was called into question Monday by the commander of the COVID-19-wracked aircraft carrier U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt, who advocated that the ship cease operations and offload its crew in Guam to combat the outbreak. The Navy’s civilian and military leadership said Wednesday that it’s now having “discussions” about keeping ships in port to prevent the next on-ship outbreak.

The Army briefing on Feb. 3 also assessed that up to 80 million would be infected, with 15 to 25 million requiring care as somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 individuals may require hospitalization.

Currently, more than 173,000 people across the U.S. have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to The New York Times, though testing remains minimal. A model from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation projects a need for 260,000 hospital beds by a mid-April peak.

Businesses are going to reconsider which people need to come into work to actually work. The work from home has proven that some can effectively do so.
Due to global production halting, there is general prediction of major economic crises coming.
The housing prices in heavily hit areas might a bit become cheaper.
The world will prepare defenses in case of the next pandemic.
America will do a movie about how they alone were the leading force that stopped corona and saved the world. And they will cast the rock as the main scientist who will fight some terrorist for some reason.
Opening scene :
Helicopter lands in front of an isolated cabin in the forest, with the rock sitting outside
Government officials : The world needs you.
The Rock : I don't live that life anymore.
cheesy

Businesses will adapt to more virtual experience of work and this while make vr become useful even in median homes.
Drones will become very popular and easy to make as you will be made to discover. With drones short distance delivery will be essential. This will only work in rich neighbourhoods in Nigeria at first, the renegades at the other end of the society will develop theirs for nefarious reasons
The housing market will definitely crash but the rich people will buy up more of the lands and houses. I believe most federal lands will be used to build futuristic houses. Look at Wuhan
About the world preparing for the pandemic might not be how you think of it. What if we are Injected with a nanotech in the vaccine that marks us digitally? Thats what I think the future is coming to

MrBrownJay1:
sadly, as much as testing EVERYONE is the only way to know the scale of this coromadness, there is NOT ENOUGH KITS available for that. so far the only country who has enough test kits to do that is GERMANY who is testing 500K people per week while in France, they can only manage 10K per week because of lack of testkits... the major LICENSED Chinese companies that create and sell these test kits are saturated, too much demand!

Germans got a head start in these test kits thanks to a German company called TIB Molbiol Syntheselabor GmbH who manufactures these kits but they aint cheap (160Euros per kits) while the chinese version costs less than a third of that.
trumps ego and selfishness cost America the chance to ride along with Germany. Didn't he reject the WHO test kits? And did we ever hear any deal he made with the German test company or was it vaccine or so? So many news lost in cycle
