President Trump’s private business has shut down six of its top seven revenue-producing clubs and hotels because of restrictions meant to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, potentially depriving Trump’s company of millions of dollars in revenue.

Those closures come as Trump is considering easing restrictions on movement sooner than federal public health experts recommend, in the name of reducing the virus’s economic damage.

In a tweet late Sunday, Trump said the measures could be lifted as soon as March 30. “WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF,” he wrote on Twitter.

In his unprecedented dual role as president and owner of a sprawling business, Trump is facing dual crises caused by the coronavirus. As he is trying to manage the pandemic from the White House, limiting its casualties as well as the economic fallout, his company is also navigating a major threat to the hospitality industry.

1. He should exempt his clubs and resorts. I'm good with his humpers gathering together on his

properties. He could join them there and have rally's with his high rollers.

4. +1, ... and they should all hug and kiss & MAGA all on each other. Breath lock her up on each other

2. Okay, sure, can't discriminate BUT all monies go into the blind trust fund that he was supposed

to have opened when he took over in 2017, along with any and all profits. After the monies that he owes the Treasury, e.g., over billing the SS, he can have the funds when he leaves, because he will sure need all funds for legal fees. Best thing about this is, Secret Service will no longer be billed at his "resorts" for golf carts, food and drinks. It's why he has been pitching a fit over opening up the country.

Too bad, so sad

Weird that he's itching to get business back to normal, so weird.

One odd thing about Trump’s hotel/golf empire is that he’s unusually dependent on a handful of properties. Doral alone produces $75M/yr — more than his DC, Chicago, Vancouver, Waikiki, Aberdeen and Vegas hotels *combined.*
The county has now shut Doral down.

7. I hope that by the time this is all over, Donald Trump is a pauper.

With the amount of debt he must be carrying and the lack of revenue coming in, this will hopefully destroy him and his greedy family. There is nothing I would like to see more than poor, desperate Trumps.

8. And we see again why presidents should divest

Business holdings. But not Trumpy. No the GOP gave him a pass, and still gives him a pass.

People are dying due to this mans greed.
