Donald Trump is set to announce a council that will come up with a plan to reopen the country. Thanks to Fox News’ John Roberts, we now know some of those who will make up the group. On Friday, Donald Trump said “I’m going to surround myself with the greatest minds. We’re going to make a decision, and hopefully, it’s going to be the right decision.” But as it turns out it’s a group of insiders. According to Roberts, it includes Trump’s chief of staff, daughter, son-in-law, Treasury Secretary, economic adviser, trade representative, and commerce secretary.
The group Citizens for Ethics writes, “Trump’s Council to Reopen America is made up of two family members with a stake in his business and seven government officials who have visited his businesses.”
Every single person is a known and established liar who lied and continues to lie with absolute malice of forethought
Every single person has repeatedly demonstrated complete lack of ethics, morals, humanity, integrity, and oh, right competence https://t.co/jwluOvTRbJ

Trump is expected to officially announce the council on Tuesday.
If someone asked me to write a parody of who would be on Trump's "Council to re-open America," I couldn't have come up with a list this good.
Trump put his daughter and son-in-law, who were elected to nothing, to lead the country out of the coronavirus outbreak? Beyond parody. pic.twitter.com/GQW0a43mCt

The “council to re-open America”, aka the council to prematurely put workers at risk during a pandemic, has:
– Zero doctors
– Zero nurses
– Zero public health officials
– Two unqualified members of @realDonaldTrump’s family pic.twitter.com/PQvse76a0L— Harley Rouda (@HarleyRouda) April 13, 2020
