(CNN)Like many at the White House, Ivanka Trump has shifted her focus to the coronavirus response prioritizing its small business efforts.

Trump has long included small business and entrepreneurship as part of her West Wing portfolio, along with workforce development and women's economic empowerment, but this renewed effort comes at a time when millions of Americans who own and work at small businesses are facing dire financial situations due to a near-shutdown of the economy.

The Trump administration began its rollout last week of a massive $349 billion loan program, the Paycheck Protection Program, through the Small Business Administration. Despite a rocky rollout, the White House this week requested an extensive $251 billion in additional funds it is working quickly with Congress to pass by the end of the week.

President Donald Trump's daughter and top adviser has been involved with the program, and on Tuesday, participated in a teleconference call with banking executives alongside her father in the Roosevelt Room.

"During recent weeks, Ivanka has been meeting on the phone with members of Congress and CEOs of the country's major financial institutions in the run up to and the launch of the PPP. Her calls to financial institutions were to encourage them to step up and support small businesses," a White House official said..........................

[msongs]

[AtheistCrusader]

29. Unfortunately I think we'll see more of that as honest news organizations stop covering his

bullshit, live.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

4. Is there NO END to the nepotism and the paralyzing stupidity

of his fucking children ?!?!

I NEVER want to see another elected leader put his low-IQ, incompetent, intellectually-challanged family, with a side order of an overabundance of undeserved confidence, in any governmental office.

christ on a pogo stick, save us from his evil spawn.

I'm gonna go join Ozzy on the Crazy Train . . . . . .

[kysrsoze]

5. Yet another failure point. Can they EVER hire someone qualified?

[Blue Owl]

6. The spawn of Don is dependent upon a con

n/t

[Mr.Bill]

7. Well, this should be entertaining. n/t

[rzemanfl]

8. In another thread I asked:

"With what, her nipples?"

[econron]

9. Big Banks

Where there's going to be a big disaster is with all the rural businesses who work with community banks and don't have a seat at the table with Trumps buddies. For those lenders who aren't preferred SBA lenders and don't know etrans it will be a nightmare and it's starting to become apparent.

[LudwigPastorius]

10. It's just another beautiful day in the American kakistocracy!

I don't ever want to hear from, or be forced to look at, these foul fuckers ever again.

[thegoose]

11. HA HA HA HA HA HA

You gotta be fucking kidding me!!!!

[Me.]

12. Isn't She The ONe Who Skimmed Millions Off The Inaugural Fund

she's pretty good at taking other people's money

[Dem2theMax]

13. Pardon me while I

[olddad65]

14. Lol. What could possibly go wrong?

[not_the_one]

15. Every time she speaks about this she should be asked

about Trump properties taking advantage of "small business assistance" after 9-11.

Just another example of grifters grifting.

[Grokenstein]

16. Princess Lovedoll will not be ignored, you guys!!

She has her daddy's brains! She has her daddy's hands (all over her body)!
She is best at business stuff!
You have to take her seriously!! Daddy and Koosh-Koosh say so!

[TeamPooka]

17. If you don't get a loan, Blame Ivanka.

[Jamastiene]

18. She would be worthless even if

we decided to eat the rich instead of letting them boss us around. I can't stand the Trumps. Everything is cheap, tacky, gaudy, and crappy with them. They even have Trump coffins now, or are working on branding some. Saw it recently, confirmed. She's the one behind it. She's just as bad as her long winded, narcissistic, heartless father.

[SunSeeker]

19. Oh my fucking God!!!!

[flibbitygiblets]

20. It's "take your daughter to work" day again already?

[cstanleytech]

21. This is probably the real reason why he fired the IG.

After all its harder to commit graft and corruption if you have someone independent overseeing the money.

[EndlessWire]

22. Beginning to look like scorched earth...n/t

[Beartracks]

23. Step #1: Remind Dad to prevent pandemics, not enable them.

Step #2: Get out of the way and let Democrats fix your damn mess. Again.

============

[SergeStorms]

24. She's uniquely qualified in this capacity.

Just fuckin' with ya'. She's completely useless, just like her old man and hubby.

[BigmanPigman]

25. Fox guarding the hen house?

Gee, what could go wrong (for the average American, that is). Everything WILL go right for the princess though...right into her Swiss bank account.

[John Fante]

26. I stopped reading at "her West Wing portfolio".

Fuck off, CNN.

[Midnightwalk]

27. Never tell anyone the family's business

Ivanka is in charge of grifting the small business assistance for the family.

[bamagal62]

28. Very close to someone who works for a bank.

There has been no guidance from the fed. govt about these small business loans. The banks will figure it all out and then Ivanka will take credit for it.

[muriel_volestrangler]

30. There is, of course, a cabinet-level Administrator of the Small Business Administration

(a bit of a tautology?) and Trump even managed to nominate someone to it who was comfortably confirmed by the Senate, 88-5 - Jovita Carranza: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovita_Carranza . She was deputy for the post under Dubya for 2 years. Before that, she worked her way up UPS.

But if there's grandstanding to be done, a Trump will step in to do it. And I wonder if Carranza's acceptability to many Democrats means that Trump doesn't trust her. Plus she's Latina, and so Trump probably hates her - remember when he said a judge, born in the USA but, like Carranza, with parents who immigrated from Mexico, would be biased against Trump?

[Doreen]

31. So basically what she is working on is getting the money for

her "small businesses" that aren't being affected by COVID-19.

[oldsoftie]

35. But Democrats insisted that NO trump affiliated businesses get any bailout cash. Its in the bill

How small that will be tracked is another story

[duforsure]

32. Is he doing this now

To set her up controlling who gets stimulus money? Is the roll out for SB loans screwed up and stalling because of her incompetence now? That may be why he's lying about her now, he's projecting lies because the truth is the opposite from his claims. All while Small business loans are stalled not getting to them. Is her involvement hurting them getting much needed loans ASAP, I think so.

[Harker]

33. The only thing she should head is out. n/t

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. Oh shit

If only it was a joke.

[Bengus81]

36. Trump went on endlessly about Hunter Biden being "qualified"

So his daughter is somehow out of the fucking blue qualified to take on business loans and all the complexity that goes with them? Right.............

[Maxheader]

37. But Daddy!!

You gave hubby a piece of the pie..

[Lonestarblue]

38. Just one more opportunity for the Trump family to siphon money into their bank accounts.

I guess the big business slush fund was not enough.

[Scarsdale]

39. She was given $100 million

last year to "promote women in business worldwide". Did she spend that already? The tRumps all have sticky fingers. She is being investigated for the missing millions from daddy's inaugural celebrations. They took in more money (lots from overseas) and spent less than any other administration. She was in charge, and the NY investigators want to know what happened to all those millions. What makes this bottle blonde an "expert"?

[lark]

40. So, the SBA portion of the bill is also for drumpf family grifting & incompetence?

Notice assmouth only put himself in charge of the 500 billion because he doesn't truly trust these asses either and has has to make sure that this money goes towards himself first of all, then to buy the election for himself and repugs at the national level. Some will go to donors who, along with him, will not repay one dime. This is the planned destruction of the working class the rw has been working for since 1920. If he wins, it's game over for our liberal democracy.

So, for our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren, we have no higher task than GOTV. Rest assured, drumpf will do something or lots of things to try and stop us, but we must overcome his treachery and save our country.

[NNadir]

41. Another unqualified idiot at the helm in a crisis. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
