Trump Organization Fires Resort Workers

“Reeling from the global fallout of the coronavirus pandemic, President Trump’s family business has cut back hotel operations, closed some golf courses and restaurants and shed dozens of workers — all while pushing to keep other properties open and promote them on social media,” the New York Times reports.

“In recent days, the Trump Organization cut staff from hotels in New York and Washington, halted new reservations at a hotel overlooking the Las Vegas Strip and closed golf courses in Los Angeles and the Miami area… It also closed the Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, which normally would be at a peak right now, with regular seasonal visits by Mr. Trump himself.”

I hope the Trump hotel empire crashes and burns. I feel for the workers losing their jobs, but I have no sympathy for anybody or anything Trump.

In store for a bigger crash if the stimulus doesn't go through.

How is that going to look during an election year, while Americans were dying on American soil and losing all they had, tRUMP held out to extort money for his tRUMP brand properties?

And here is another vise on tRUMPS nuts, what happens to his leveraged businesses that can't meet their payments anymore?

No wonder he was paralyzed the last two months and did nothing, while he only worried about how it was going to look for him.

Chose to pay us, at least for the first few weeks at our average number hours shifted/week level.
Trump inc could afford to do that for at least a few weeks.

But instead, Trump will dump them on the unemployment roles and wash his hands of them.

We all know Trump only gives a shit about Trump.


He takes no responsibility for his failures and all the credit for other people's successes.
