Barron Trump’s Elite School Getting Taxpayer Sti
Post# of 123746
The elite Maryland private school attended by Donald Trump’s son Barron is collecting taxpayer stimulus aid — and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is demanding that money to wealthy schools be returned.
The Brentwood School in Los Angeles, attended by Mnuchin’s own children, is also collecting public funds as part of the administration small business stimulus program meant to help mitigate the economic damage from the coronavirus pandemic, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Neither school plans to return the money.
Revelations of the funds to the institutions even as Republicans threaten to let states — and their public schools — go bankrupt is fueling mounting fury over a massive taxpayer giveaway to wealthy operations.
Struggling small businesses, meanwhile, are being squeezed out of much-needed funds from the Paycheck Protection Program. The loans can become grants if the money is used continue to pay wages and rent.
