Trump does nothing for free.

He cannot focus if it does not make him profit. Expect that any money distributed will be like the money sent on pallets to Iraq.
Pence was put in charge of this disaster. Remember that Pence is an expert on extracting money from disasters.
Expect Trumps family to be invested in testing equipment, and respirators. Expect the equipment to be substandard and over priced.

Remember EVERYTHING is about him. Since he can't go one day without mentioning the stock market, this is his focus and a pandemic be damned. He ignored this in Dec or Jan, called it a hoax, dismantled the pandemic response team, refused WHO tests etc etc. A fucking failure
