This is actually quite a blow to the Austin economy. My sympathies for all the people who had planned to work in hotels, restaurants, and other venues, serving the influx of visitors who now won't show.
Will Trump tell the people of Austin he loves them, and he's with them all the way? Or will he say its good everyone is staying home and spending money "here"?
At least he won't visit in a campaign hat and talk about his FoxNews town hall:
Trump is still pushing his bonkers argument that coronavirus isn't that bad because lots of people die from the flu. He then pivots to a plug for Fox News and the ratings his town hall got last night. pic.twitter.com/mAoVbujnj9— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 6, 2020
We have to be thankful for small graces these days.
