Good? Naw--stupid. As much as Pelosi and the rest of swamp have tried to get Trump and anyone around him on anything ---for any reason, if Trump or his people sent money where it wasn't supposed to be--Piglosi would have the FBI track down the funds ($99 million is a lot of money)----and arrest everyone if it went anywhere. The obvious answer is that the money was not spent or given to anyone that it wasn't supposed to.The Trump administration was a swampy con job. The Trump organization is a swampy con. The only saving grace of the Trump administration and Trump as a person and brand is that he and it is and are incompetent. The fruit is so low-hanging, the participants are usually rich kids who have never had to really work hard for anything, and the laziness of thought and execution is apparent. This incompetence is also attached to a cruelty and sociopathy that has been destructive to millions of people around the world, and ultimately helped lead to a poorly managed response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
NBC News has a report about one such example. One of the agencies run by a college buddy of Jared Kushner reportedly received $100 million in federal funds to help ameliorate issues facing our supply chain due to the pandemic. That by itself would not be news. What is news is that in the year since receiving that money, the International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has “so far failed to invest a single dime” towards its directive. In opposite land, one might say they were shocked by this news.
The Trump admin gave an agency $100 million to fight Covid. It spent $1 million.
The Development Finance Corporation was tasked with bankrolling "resources needed to respond" to Covid. So far, says a watchdog, it hasn’t disbursed any funds.www.nbcnews.com
This ought to be good.
