Jerry Nadler said that Trump "has no moral authority to be talking about 9/11" after he accepted a $150,000 grant from the Bush admin meant for "small businesses" harmed by the terrorist attack.

(40,212 posts)1. Trump has a sick relationship with money.
He does whatever he can, even cheat, to get his hands on money. $150,000 is nothing to him. On one of the visits to Europe, Melania wore a coat that cost $50,000.
Weirdos.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/08/trump-files-spy-magazine-prank/
In its short-lived existence, Spy magazine had a lot of fun with Donald Trump. The New York-based monthly is best known for making fun of the size of Trumps fingers, but its deepest cut may have come as part of a 1990 prank.
Spy correspondent Julius Lowenthal wanted to know just how cheap some of the citys richest figures were. So he set up a company, called the National Refund Clearinghouse, and sent letters with checks for $1.11 enclosed, for services that you were overcharged for. The letters went out to 58 well-known, well-heeled Americans, 26 of whom promptly cashed them. Curious as to how low they might go, Lowenthal sent those 26 nabobs a second refund check, for $0.64. This time, 13 people cashed them.
Finally, he sent those 13 respondents a check for $0.13. This time, only two people cashed the check. One was an arms dealer. The other was Donald Trump, whom the magazine identified as a demibillionaire casino operator and adulturer.
