Unless there is something in it for him, don't look for anything.

The day the President of the United States gets involved in individual business' internal decisions is the day democracy truly dies.Here's the way I see it with Trump. He's not going to put up with someone that can't meet milestones. As we all know, Paul is the poster child for that. With that being said, Trump will look at it as a business and not through emotion. I believe Elio will get the loan but the provisions are going to change. Trump is going to want a timeline to state exactly what is going to happen and when. Items like:
- When all 1500 people will be on the payroll and working.
- The day Elio #1 comes off the line.
- Then day Elio #65K rolls off the line.
- When Elio is at full capacity.
The money would come in phases as to when various milestones are met. To make sure that Paul is not blowing smoke up Donalds keister, there will be a special person that will literally be shadowing Paul and coming back with their own progress reports every week. If Paul can't do what he says he's going to do, he has to resign, someone else comes in to replace him and get the project done. There's nothing wrong with doing this because that's how the real world works. The last thing the DoE needs to do is loan out all of this money and find out that once it's all burned through, Elio is back sitting and doing nothing because they need more money to get the job completed. This is a loan, not just free money to do whatever you want with it and no hops in paying it back. Trump doesn't seem to be the person to put up with that.
Agreed, some of his assumptions are pretty far reaching; this one especially:" If Paul can't do what he says he's going to do, he has to resign, someone else comes in to replace him and get the project done." Umm made to resign from a company he owns? I don't think so.May be you should send your post to Elio and not post it on the forum.
