WASHINGTON - Businesses controlled by President Donald Trump and his children would be prohibited from receiving loans or investments from Treasury Department programs included in a $2 trillion stimulus plan agreed to early Wednesday by White House and Senate leaders in response to the coronavirus crisis.

The provision, which was touted by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in an early-morning letter to colleagues, would also apply to Vice President Mike Pence as well as their children, spouses and in-laws.

Trump's dual roles as both chief executive of the nation and owner of a sprawling business empire has been frequently criticized by Democrats, who accuse him of trying to profit from the presidency.

Does that apply to all members of the house and senate with their families? Or are they solely focused on the Orange Man!!?

"bar any business owned by Trump or his family from getting loans from Treasury. Businesses owned by members of Congress, heads of executive departments and Vice President Mike Pence also would be blocked."

The Trump's have been slurping up lots of profits from gov't business for the last three years, they should be ok.

What about family members of Congress?

Good question. I'm guessing no, based on the article I read. Might need to wait on actual language. Sad it even needs put into a bill, imo.

Agreed, but it’s also pathetic we have members of Congress doing insider trading on the back of national crisis. They’re just vile creatures.
