In reply to the discussion: She said her business did better when Trump was president. [View all]haele
(13,241 posts)19. Hmmm. Wonder if she got an SBA loan and then a PPP loan to subsidize her business.
She may well have been doing better because of tax breaks, small business start-up and COVID related grants and assistance she was eligible to get in late 2020/2021. The economy is also getting better, so she's getting more competition as other restaurants are going back to normal operations and expanding.
All of this, and now, she's having to pay back on some of those loans without the recovery act tax breaks and subsides. Just like all the other normal people's businesses who aren't quite as brazen as those of GOP politicians who have baldly stated they can't pay back their loans and seek "forgiveness" while they laugh all the way from their accountant's offices.

I'm surprised trump didn't make her wear a "Blacks for Trump" t-shirt before he'd be seen with her.

Y'all are using facts to put the lie to the narrative. Just so unfair to basket of deplorables.

Tons of this are still in cold storage. Maybe she was made an offer she couldn't refuse.
