President Trump’s family business, which owns and operates hotels and golf courses, faced a rapidly deteriorating commercial outlook Thursday as it became caught up in the wave of cancellations across the tourism industry as a result of the coronavirus.
The company also learned it had hosted its first confirmed coronavirus case: a Brazilian official who spent time with President Trump at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida last week.

As of Thursday evening, the Trump Organization had not changed its public posture — or outlined what measures it is taking to protect club members and guests — as the virus has spread more widely across the country, including to all nine states and the District of Columbia where the company operates in the United States.

President Trump’s decision to restrict travel from Europe did not apply to the United Kingdom and Ireland — countries where he happens to own three golf courses.

The Trump Organization is still owned by President Trump but is run by his adult sons. The company did not respond to requests for comment about how it was addressing the coronavirus.

Thoughts and prayers

[True Blue American]

1. Bless his heart!

[Maeve]

2. May karma follow his every step

[JDC]

3. He'll bail himself out under the guise of a larger bill

We'll all pay for him to stay afloat. I'd guess he'll even make a buck.

[CanonRay]

4. I'm sure there's a Hotel, Restaurant, and Golf Course American Freedom bill working it's way up

to bail them all out.

[PA Democrat]

5. His golf courses in Ireland and the UK have never shown a profit

and now that the travel ban has been extended to both the UK and Ireland, Trumpie might have to borrow more money from his good buddy Vlad.
