The Trump Organization has been forced to layoff around 1,500 employees as it struggles to deal with COVID-19-related closures of its properties around the United States.

Like other groups in the hotels and hospitality field facing state-mandated shutdowns, the Trump Organization has responded by cost-cutting, trimming staff from hotels and clubs in New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Las Vegas, Miami, Vancouver and Honolulu, the Washington Post reported, citing public filings.

I have been posting on FR about various companies giving raises to workers, still paying laid off employees, etc., but I doubt the Trump Organization can afford this because business was already down due to many people refusing to patronize Trump properties after he became president.

But get ready for demonrats and the press to criticize the Trump Organization for not being like one of these other businesses.

These other businesses have access to the relief package. Trump's family businesses have been excluded by law.

They should all be reminded of that.

On the bright side, their ex boss gave them 600 extra a week for 4 months on unemployment.

They insist that Trump Org. doesn’t benefit from the stimulus and then crow that there are layoffs.

Except signing it :)

I didn’t say it was a bad bill, even though too much of it is.

Stop picking on me or i’ll tell my mom :)

The salivating Dems stupidly voted to spend $2 Trillion tax dollars to kick-start the economy.

But just b/c Trump had $2 trillion handed to him on a silver platter doesnt mean he has to spend it on THEIR agenda.

Maybe but the last thing I would invest in is transportation it’s a hard game to win in.
Don’t know of anyone buying Amtrak stock on profit from day one.

Cost cutting...

In a way, but if you have 25% of your former patrons, do you need 100% of your former staff?

I guess that’s getting pretty deep for today’s “journalists”.

Layoffs are missing a golden opportunity. That is, instead they should be directed to temporarily work for congressional and senate campaigns around the US.

Many of them could even run for congress in currently “uncontested” Democrat seats. Even though they would likely lose, some of them might very well win. And they could work in support of newer Republican candidates, giving them both support and further connecting them to both the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) and the Trump campaign.

Right now the NRCC is flush with cash, and so is the Trump campaign, so they could be given a lot of bonuses for this one or two month “sabbatical”.

Wins all the way around.
