The massive COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in 16.6 million Americans filing initial claims for unemployment insurance in just three weeks as people stay at home to flatten the coronavirus curve. The death toll in the United States is nearing seventeen thousand. And Donald Trump is itching to open the economy back up with the presidential election around the corner.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Thursday that the U.S. economy could be ready to reopen by the end of May, “as soon as the president feels comfortable with the medical issues.”

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell also weighed in to say, “I do think it’s time to have a serious public conversation and a lot of analysis about that. We need to have a plan nationally for reopening the economy. We all want it to happen as quickly as possible.” Powell added that “most people expect that to happen in the second half of this year, after the second quarter, which of course ends on June 30.”

The Wall Street Journal reports that the White House is considering the creation of a new economy-focused coronavirus task force, in addition to the existing task force that is led by Vice President Mike Pence, according to administration officials.

Buried in the article is the cast of characters that would be on the force:

The new task force would consist of the president’s top economic advisers, including Mr. Mnuchin, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow and Kevin Hassett, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. Mr. Hassett has returned to the White House to advise the president. Aides also said Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and senior adviser, would also likely be a member of the task force.”

Kudlow earlier this month said, “We don’t actually know what the magnitude of the virus is going to be, although frankly so far it looks relatively contained,” then added that Americans should get back to work. It’s as if Republicans want to kill your MawMaw or something.

And then there’s Ivanka, whose only experience is in designing shitty looking clothes. With our economy on life-support, Trump is bringing in his daughter to fix the situation. Next, Trump is going to bring in the ShamWow Guy, who can huddle with the My Pillow Guy to fix our broken economy. MAGA is dead.
