Critics see this as a ploy to force Washington’s hand and give the mayor the big federal bailout he’s looking for.

First of all, Trump hates de Blasio and New York and so does McConnell. Second, the matter of Federal aid has largely been agreed on in Congress. Third, shutting down restaurants isn't something DC cares about one way or the other.
You really need to stop reading the NY Post. It is little more than an RNC house organ.
Except for the Sports pages.

This article isn’t about the restaurant shut down, it’s about the mayor’s comments regarding a potential full lockdown. Critics who claim he’s doing this with an eye towards substantial federal relief, similar to what Pelosi was trying to get before negotiations collapsed, are looking at what Democrat mayors and governors with sizable pension liabilities would be requesting from a Biden administration.  It has nothing to do with Trump’s opinion on relief packages.

But apparently you're too dumb to know it. Be careful. You're about to dislocate your shoulder patting yourself on the back.

That’s the MAIN point, Nicky. And a Federal bailout to states and municipalities has not been ironed out in the compromise to date. That will be something addressed during the Biden administration.

There's a new effort to deal with aid to states and municipalities in separate legislation BEFORE Biden comes into office.
Keep up, would ya, Chickie?

(Senator Dick Durbin  joined a growing number of rank-and-file lawmakers in backing a scaled-back coronavirus relief deal that excludes fiscal relief for states and local governments — a top priority for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The $748B is being pushed by a bipartisan group of Senators.
“There is no excuse for the speaker or the leader, you’ve got to give us a vote,” Durbin said Monday during a press conference announcing the legislation.

The $748 billion proposal, released by a dozen centrist senators on Monday, includes funding for education, vaccine distribution, transportation, small business relief and federal unemployment aid. A more controversial $160 billion add-on would include aid for state and local governments and a liability shield for businesses against COVID-related lawsuits — the two thorniest issues that have plagued negotiations for months.
