Two chinooks flew by my office maybe 15 meters away (right over the FDR) ... the whole place shook. It was pretty awesome - FDR closed off, broad street closed up to wall street etc.

Isn't he concerned about the hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue due to the road closures?

He's probably more concerned with his record low approval rating and someone trying to off him would be my guess.

I think it is the lowest it has been for him. I don't know about all time low though.

There's a reason for that. See Kennedy and Reagan for examples.
