Trump’s hotels in Washington, D.C., Chicago, and New York are still open—but their restaurants are closed, which is another revenue hit. At the Washington hotel alone, 160 people have been laid off. But Trump is much more enthusiastic about a hotel bailout than a serious restructuring of how the U.S. treats people like hotel workers. Again, go figure.

Donald Trump is always all about Donald Trump. The coronavirus pandemic is not going to change that, and we have to assess his actions through that lens, always. That said, when he calls for businesses to reopen, he’s not just thinking about profits at his own properties. He’s also thinking about his reelection chances, and because his strategic thinking only looks about a week forward in time, he’s not able to consider the effect on his reelection chances (or hotel profits) when deaths spike, overwhelming the medical system and, yes, damaging the economy all over again.
