Small Business Owner Praises Trump During Biden Visit
A small business owner during a visit to the Biden White House praised former President Trump during the visit.
According to The Washington Free Beacon:
At an event designed to showcase President Joe Biden’s small business agenda, a store owner credited the Republican-backed Paycheck Protection Program passed during the Trump administration for helping save his business.
AdvertisementMike Siegel, the co-owner of a Washington, D.C., hardware store, told Biden during his Tuesday visit that the PPP allowed his business to pay at-risk employees while they stayed home from work during the coronavirus pandemic. “The first thing that we did was we took all of our at-risk employees and we sent them home, and we paid them through that entire process,” Siegel told Biden. “That first wave of PPP loans was very helpful to allow us to do that.”
The first wave of PPP loans was sent out in April 2020 under President Donald Trump, not Biden, who criticized the PPP loans during the campaign. Biden argued that the money went to big corporations rather than to American small businesses like Siegel’s.
While the goal of Biden’s visit was to tout the exclusive two-week window he established for small businesses to apply for new aid, Siegel’s business might not have survived to apply for the loan without the support it received last year. The store, W.S. Jenks & Son, received a $162,800 loan last April and put all the money toward payroll.
Biden downplayed the effectiveness of the PPP program before taking office.

Boy that must have put their panties in a twist.
Hidenbiden is joke!
Nobody is going to give Trump for any of the good things he did in the four years as President. Shame on all of them…..
Thank you Mike Siegel for speaking the truth in front of the press and Biden. Republican Senate had a targeted Covid bill passed BEFORE the Presidential election, Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats ignored it in order to put the nation’s citizens in a financial bind before the election, just so they could claim they and Biden are the only ones who care about us. So tired of the lies of the left.
I hope it was rock salt he used.
Mike Siegel is lucky he wasn’t arrested for speaking against the socialist administration. Especially being on their turf.
It’s about time credit is given where it is deserved.
Biden is not small business friendly and neither is the democrat party,the dems would rather consolidate all of their business fund raising to just a few mega business’s than having to go around to 50,000 small business’s.
Bet that P. O.’d Joey!!!:):):)
we want President Trump back / biden needs to visit Leavenworth/ hopefully he

HA,HA,HA! That’s all I half to say.
Be careful, the Feds are listening. I’m too old to give a s..t. Fk them. I’ll get free room, board, health care, library, WiFi, clothes, electricity, air conditioning. Sounds like a great retirement plan.
