The president says he’ll resume negotiations on the HEROES Act 'immediately after I win' the election
“down by 2.3 million since February” in the restaurant industry, which, according to the IRC, is a higher number than any other industry. By dangling the possibility of aid as a pitiful reward for another Trump victory, the president is prioritizing his own fame and power over the needs of millions of people, like he always does.
This is the disheartening culmination of months of frustration and sadness for the restaurant industry. At this point, what the hell are we supposed to do? For months, businesses have been left without guidance or aid, with owners and workers calculating the risk of operating during a pandemic.but have been working anyway in order to pay bills. Ordering takeout isn’t enough, tipping 40 percent isn’t enough, giving to GoFundMes isn’t enough, yelling at senators and governors isn’t enough. That’s not to say there’s no use in trying, but this isn’t a problem anyone can solve on an individual level — not restaurant owners, not employees, not customers. “[Trump] shows his contempt for science, his disdain for our heroes — in health care, first responders, sanitation, transportation, food workers, teachers, and others — and he refuses to put money in workers’ pockets, unless his name is printed on the check,” Nancy Pelosi. And don’t forget to tack on his aggressive assault on the Affordable Care Act, which many restaurant workers rely on in, especially in an industry without many health care offerings. As the news cycle has shown, anything can happen in the month leading up to the election, so who knows if he’ll stand by this threat or move on to another in a day or two. But restaurant workers don’t have the time to wait out Trump’s game of political chicken.The freshest news from the food world every day

Trump Confronts a New Form of Risk, More Personal and PerilousPresident Donald Trump's relationship to risk has often come down to an abiding self-belief: It will all probably work out for him because it generally has.'Whatever happens, happens,' he said in 1991, declaring himself a 'great fatalist' as his business fortunes wobbled.'We'll see what happens,' he said of North Korean nuclear diplomacy two years ago, blithely predicting that all would be fine.'Risk plays a part in everything we do,' he advised in one of his pre-presidential how-to books. 'I could get hit by a bus while I am crossing the street. Things happen.'Yet the things that have happened this time -- a president who has consistently played down the dangers of a deadly virus joining the ranks of hospitalized patients in his high-risk demographic -- are nothing like the circumstances of Trump's past feats of political, financial and reputational survival.He is, instead, facing something almost entirely unfamiliar to him: genuine uncertainty and peril, a moment when the comforts of his office and surname can only take him so far.If anything, the toll of the virus, on Trump and his nation, has reinforced how little his life of chance-taking had prepared him for the cold math of infectious disease.In business, he has transcended consistent misfires with the risk-cushioning assistance of tax-avoidance schemes, bankruptcy court, his father's riches and a manicured vision of televised success on 'The Apprentice.'In politics, he has survived gambits that might have ended any modern presidency before his -- urging a foreign government to investigate a rival, questioning the valor of war heroes, equivocating on white supremacy -- because Republican allies have wagered that he is worth the trouble.But the pandemic could be neither browbeaten nor charmed. It is not impressed with his Nielsen ratings. It is not afraid of attack ads in a congressional primary. It does not comport with Trump's long-standing principle that to modulate, to adjust in the face of distressing inf
