Earlier this week, it looked as though  Donald Trump,  in all his infinite wisdom, had put his daughter and son-in-law on the council advising the White House on when to “reopen” the country. Given the president’s long history of putting the dynamic duo in charge of matters they have literally  no business   being anywhere near , and his claim that  Ivanka  has single-handedly  created 15 million jobs , the development appeared unsurprising if not completely absurd.  Luckily, it seems that someone with some ounce of sense intervened, and  told  Trump he should probably speak to a few actual business executives, if not real-life economists. And what do you know? Those people have apparently told him it would be absurd to get back to regular life before the government has hugely increased testing capabilities. The  Wall Street Journal   reports  that in Trump’s first task force meeting of business and political leaders, executives told
