He is the owner of a New York restaurant, meaning he had to close it down indefinitely since the city is one of the places with the highest number of those infected with the coronavirus.
Joe started the controversial campaign on Friday. He fired 30 people and allegedly needs money to pay the remaining staff. The fans of his daughter are furious, as is the larger public and the media.
