Why was it ever even considered?

It's as pathetic as Trump pimping his ѕhithole Doral golf course for the G-7 Summit

1. ...because they refused to give up vacation time in Aspen

2. What?

They went and bought a Count Von Ken & Barbie Economic Council play set for nothing? I bet they had it unpacked and almost figured out how to put the Barbie Big Special Meeting Room together.

Oh, well. It still might help them act the act of pretending like they might know anything. Practice helps.

3. He outright lied. Nothing nuanced. He lied.

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner will serve as members of a second coronavirus task force focused on reopening the economy, according to a new report.

The Council to Reopen America, first announced by President Trump last week, will focus on getting Americans back to work amid the pandemic and is a smaller alternative to the coronavirus task force headed by Vice President Mike Pence, he said.

New chief of staff Mark Meadows will lead the council while White House senior advisers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner will also serve as members, Fox reported on Monday.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow and United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer have also been tapped, according to the report.

It’s unclear if the list of names is accurate or final, with Trump not expected to announce the council’s membership until Tuesday.

Trump expects everyone to forget that he said they weren't on his re-open America council.

4. the thing about donnie's (dis-)organization is that he can have it both ways

officially, if you want to think they're not on the council, fine, they're not on the council.

the council is a joke anyway.

but if anyone has a question for the council he can just have his people route the calls to jarvanka. oh, they're not on the council, but they're just observers so the president knows what the council is up to.

doesn't matter, if donnie wants them to have power or take credit, they're in a position to do so, the label doesn't matter.
