Who Advised Donald Trump To "Ride It Out"?

In January and February, Donald Trump and the GOP refused to take the coronavirus seriously and went ALL IN on the "just the flu" narrative as it quietly spread across the country. Who advised Donald Trump to "ride it out" and treat the virus as "just the flu" for over six weeks?

New York Times:  "Always attuned to anything that could trigger a stock market decline or an economic slowdown that could hamper his re-election effort, Mr. Trump also reached out to prominent investors like Stephen A. Schwarzman, the chief executive of Blackstone Group, a private equity firm.

"Everybody questioned it for a while, not everybody, but a good portion questioned it," Mr. Trump said earlier this month. "They said, let's keep it open. Let's ride it." ..."

New York Times:  "Mr. Trump has been having conversations, both formally and informally, in recent weeks with business leaders like Michael Corbat, the chief executive of Citigroup, and Brian Moynihan, the chief executive of Bank of America, about how to support the economy and when it might be able to reopen.

Many of those discussions have been facilitated by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who has fielded calls from executives like Stephen A. Schwarzman, the chief executive of Blackstone, looking for a road map to when a semblance of normalcy could return, although some people close to the discussions said that Mr. Schwarzman and Steven Roth, a real estate investor close to Mr. Trump, have not been aggressive as others.

Other business executives have gone through Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser. Paul Tudor Jones made an impassioned push to reopen the economy on a conference call organized by Mr. Kushner several weeks ago, these people said, and the investor Nelson Peltz was said to be influential in Mr. Trump's since-aborted plan to begin reopening by Easter.

Lobbying groups have become more vocal about the need for the administration to create a plan for the reopening of the economy."The longer we stay shut down, the worse off people will be and the harder it will be getting the economy going again and getting people jobs so they can go back to work," said David McIntosh, the president of the Club for Growth. "What we need now is a plan for when we reopen the economy, because the plan curve has been flattened."[/b]

Good to know.

It was exactly who I suspected was responsible. It is the same group of Jewish private equity donors and hedge fund managers who are behind the MAGA scam.

Note: Stephen Schwarzman once compared Obama's plan to raise the tax rate on carried interest to Hitler's invasion of Poland.
