trump's core personal businesses--hotels and golf courses--are cratering.

No one is traveling and needing hotels, and golf courses are being closed. He's going broke and knows it. He's fucking up the virus response and our economy and knows it. The stress on his already addled brain must be tremendous and causing him to be nearing a crack up. trump's ugly dust-up with the reporter today is, IMO, evidence of this.

I live in Vegas and I'm a hack golfer, play a couple of times a week with regular golf buddies. That's over now as the governor shut all courses down 2 days ago indefinitely. The strip hotels are also all shut down, as are hotels and golf courses all over the country—his core businesses.

There's an urge for schadenfreude here but I can't go there because of the 100-year disaster that has befallen the world—and that he has worsened with his negligence.

researchers. He probably wants to own 100% of the vaccine. His golf resorts are tanking...

losing before the virus struck. Doral was in poor shape, plus the course in Ireland and the one in Scotland. He is as "good" at business as he is as presidenting!

As his world spins out of control, what actions he will take are frightening. No one is playing golf and going to his hotels/resorts.

The Russians are not buying (I.e., laundering money) these days.

The only guests at Mar-a-Lago are bed bugs.

He knows his crimes will be uncovered after he leaves office.

Cornered sociopaths are dangerous.

-golf at all anymore.
-get banged by that Eurotrash wife.
-improve the economy one iota.
-rely on competent staff, as he has none.
-stand seeing Pence deliver his b.s. but at least in a cogent and coherent way.
-can't shut up Dr. Fauci.

Gosh, all this winning!

Can use imagine how poorly his properties are safeguarded there for this virus. He's shown public ally how he ignores any suggested safe practices, and lines his people up next to each other , and setting a horrible example for others. He likely is nearly broke from Putin and his debts ,so expect another bankruptcy after he's skims their cash from them first. He's strapped for cash, and buried in a mountain of debt most likely.
