INTERESTING: A $780,680 PPP loan went to a Texas data/marketing firm called CloudCommerce.

BEDFORD, N.H. (9/29/16) -- Donald Trump called out “the special interests, the lobbyists and the corrupt corporate media that have rigged the system against everyday Americans, and they’ve rigged it for a long time.” https://t.co/DLGlZgXgt0 — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

@mbaram Yes, Trump's definition of the swamp changed to suit his political needs. In 2016, he characterized the swamp as "the special interests, the lobbyists & the corrupt corporate media." Now, it's basically anyone (primarily, but not exclusively in the gov't) who disagrees with him — PolitiTweet.org

THE SWAMP: @SBAGov rules bar companies that derive more than 50% of their revenue from lobbying or political activity from receiving PPP loans. But that didn't stop a number of top Washington political & lobbying firms from collecting millions in PPP $$$. https://t.co/HbgnTr6ac1 — PolitiTweet.org
