At least they have more sense than what now passes for a government.

Airlines are very good at predicting passenger demand - they have to be.

so he is forced to choose between protecting the American public or doing all he can to serve his reelection campaign.

It's not hard to see which is more important to him


Unfortunately, in a public health crisis, the public needs to be informed with accurate information

That is not what Trump will do

Didn't DT already say it would fade out when the warm weather comes?

I can't wait until DT can't have his rallies anymore. That's all he enjoys besides golf cheating.

Dumb as they are, they know better than to congregate in large crowds during an epidemic. Will His Lardship have to hold his rallies in high school gymnasiums and church basements because he won't be able to fill a stadium?

He can watch them over and over again. He is hopelessly addicted to attention and maybe watching himself in an endless loop will keep him busy not doing more damage.
Besides, he's afraid for his own life. How can the SS keep him safe from this virus? I am quite sure he would be classified as the vulnerable 2-3 percentage in poor health likely to die. He knows his true health situation, too.
He might self-quarantine with his tapes.
