DONALD Trump has admitted the coronavirus pandemic is "hurting" his hotels after "hundreds of workers were fired and Mar-a-Lago closed," reports say.

And the President refused to rule out using federal funds to bail out the Trump Organization as the COVID-19 hit his family business.

"Yeah, it's hurting me," the president told reporters at a White House press briefing today.

"And it's hurting Hilton, and it's hurting all of the great hotel chains all over the world."

The New York Times reports 40 hotel workers lost their jobs at his Central Park West hotel in New York, where reservations are still being taken.

Others reportedly had their shifts cut.

Down in Florida, Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort is still shut down for deep cleaning.

The swanky seaside property in was forced to close its doors after multiple guests tested positive for the killer virus - including an aide to the Brazilian president.
