Trump: "I'll be the oversight" on how money is doled out to corporations.

[highplainsdem]

I don't have that clip yet, missed that part of the presser myself, but have been seeing tweets referring to this insanity:

Daniel Dale:

Asked about the proposed provision in the relief package to allow Treasury to dole out money to companies as it sees fit, Trump says: "Look, I'll be the oversight. I'll be the oversight."

Austin Evers, executive director of American Oversight:

“I’ll be the oversight” — President Trump. No. Nope. No.

[mcar]

1. That is not encouraging

[highplainsdem]

21. That's an understatement.

[mcar]

34. You know it!

[intrepidity]

2. My ears pricked up

Terrifying. He can't die soon enough.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. Good reason to reject it

[CatMor]

4. He'll be the oversight so he can get his first.

[tblue37]

24. One for you, and two for me. One for you, and five for me. One for you, and ten for me.

One for you, and thirty for me. One for you, and fifty for me. One for you, and. . . .

[CatMor]

31. Good one .... wouldn't surprise me.

[pandr32]

33. Also pay for play

We already saw how he used relief money to shake down the new president of Ukraine.

[CatMor]

38. True, he acted so strange and adament about the oversight.

[PJMcK]

5. Okay, that gives me great confidence given Trump's history

NOT!

[Cattledog]

6. Someone please sneeze on this asshole.

[aggiesal]

60. Does this help? ...

[greenjar_01]

7. No thanks

[Iliyah]

8. Oh hell no . . .

[John Fante]

9. Welp, that idea is DOA.

[texasfiddler]

10. You can't even trust him with a charity. Fuck him

[Brother Mythos]

14. Excellent point!

Individual-1 is ground-zero for so many scandals that I had completely forgotten about that particular one.

Thank you for the reminder.

[alittlelark]

11. GAWDS !!!! I feel sooooooooooooo much better.

[tishaLA]

12. Worst. Possible. Response.

[Sedona]

13. The money will all end up in Russia

[Haggis for Breakfast]

41. No, it'll end up at this resorts, golf courses and hotels

as they are seeing a steep drop off in business and $$$.

I think that DHHS should commandeer trump's hotels as makeshift hospital wards. He should announce this tomorrow. In the interest of 'doing all he can to help,' this would go a long way towards augmenting hospital wards for the sick. Hell, no one is using those rooms right now. They could be quickly converted, as they usually have one or two beds (like a typical hospital), each with a bathroom and a telly.

Now THAT would be helpful.

[gristy]

15. Correct - not going to fly. However, realize this is just their opening offer

What will be more revealing is to see what they come back with on their next offer. It's going to be just as bad though maybe not as blatantly egregious. I have to trust that Pelosi and Schumer are well aware...

[Jim__]

16. Precisely why we reject the relief package. It's not supposed to be the Trump Industries relief.

[jmowreader]

17. The guy who wants oversight bankrupted three casinos and a liquor company

Always remember: Donald Trump, in his private, pre-political persona, owned four licenses to print money and failed at them all.

[procon]

18. Translation: Trump gets his cut first. nt

[BSdetect]

19. Was he salivating as he said that?

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. Yeah, course he was

[NCjack]

20. No. You don't have the time to do the oversight, with all of your tweeting.

[barbtries]

22. straight into his pocket

corrupt as fuck.

[Laelth]

25. And why does that fail to reassure me?

-Laelth

[captain queeg]

26. If congress allows that they might as well close up shop.

[coeur_de_lion]

27. Adam Schiff response

?s=20

[dalton99a]

37. +1

[Martin Eden]

45. +2

No, you won't!!!

[Raastan]

56. + 1

[doc03]

28. OMG I feel much better now nt

[gldstwmn]

29. Fuck no! It will be spent on bad investments

and porn stars with you in charge.

[spanone]

30. I saw that. He wasn't joking.

[highplainsdem]

32. The idiot would be saying "L'etat, c'est moi" If he knew what it meant and could pronounce it.

[meow2u3]

35. Translation: The money will go to prop up the Trump Organization

He'll not only line his pockets with taxpayer money, he'll also kick a few tens of billions to Putin and Russian oligarchs.

[sop]

36. We as a nation must reimburse President Trump for the $billions and $billions he has lost

while making America great again. And if our president requires some of us to give up our lives to save the economy, we will gladly do so.

[xxqqqzme]

39. Orangie, you're

doing a heck-of-a-job.

[thisaintright]

40. Oh, and by the f'ing way...also in that presser today

how is the guy who f'ing stole million$ from students in a bullshit RE school and stole tons of money from an f'ing charity supposed to give help to vets groups and others in need be any kind of authority on how to tell price gougers and other fraudsters what to do?!!!!

Oh my f'ing god...there are no words...

[Pepsidog]

42. Hate to be a killjoy but how many times have we said "no way, he can't do that" and he does that?

Dems better not fold. No folding, No way!

[wnylib]

59. Time to take a page from Moscow Mitch

when he refused to consider Merrick Garland in an election year.

"Let the people decide." In this case, put it to a referendum how the money should be used.

[Nitram]

43. Fuck that shit!

[iluvtennis]

44. Ditto. nt

[SayItLoud]

46. Yep, first in line tRUMP Organization, followed by Kusher Companies...then

anyone and everyone who could possible be investors and lend either of those two companies $$$$$$.

Grifters gotta Grift but Dems don't have to allow it.

[Under The Radar]

47. Yea that is likely true, and you better force tax returns

Because a sizable chunk of that money is going to The Trump Org.

[keithbvadu2]

48. T-r-u-u-u-u-u-u-s-t me

T-r-u-u-u-u-u-u-s-t me

50. My brain will be dead five ducking days.

Before I trust fuck head to oversee anything.

[MaryMagdaline]

51. Good lord. His own father had to get him off the family trust

Didn’t trust him as far as he could throw him

[Blue Owl]

52. Mr. Bankruptcy?

Suuuurrre...

[greatauntoftriplets]

53. Fox, henhouse, etc.

[SunSeeker]

54. Unless Pelosi is the oversight, NO MONEY TO THE CORPORATIONS!

[aggiesal]

55. I have only one thing to say about that ...

[SMC22307]

57. In my best Begbie voice, 'NO FUCKIN' WAY.'

[Initech]

58. Yeah no that is a terrible idea.

[Sneederbunk]

61. Said the fox to the hens.
